(West Germany) Keywords: need to make contact Message-ID: <813@lopez.UUCP> Date: 24 Sep 89 00:36:22 GMT Organization: Great White North/UPLink, Marquette, MI Lines: 21 I have a friend who works at NDR in Hamburg, and with whom I would like to exchange information on a personal basis. I run a USENET site here in Northern Michigan, and we tried his calling here, but alas the error rate afforded by satellite interconnect was such that NO COMMUNICATION WAS POSSIBLE. Through DATEX-P, the German packet switching network, he can reach MANY USA networks, like TYMNET and TELENET (others as well). What I am wondering is, through these domestic networks, is there a way for him to reach a public acess UNIX system to enable him to write to me? If so, what system(s). I imagine this to be possible, but do not know how to go about finding out how, except to post here. If you can help, Please email flash@lopez.UUCP -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Gary Bourgois, ...rutgers!sharkey!lopez!flash (flash@lopez.UUCP) | | Nationwide Amateur Radio NIGHTLY after 0200z on 3950 KHz | -------------[ WB8EOH = The Eccentric Old Hippie ]-----------------
