I have had a LOT of requests for information on the SF/ Moscow
teleport. In response to those people wanting this information,
the Moscow side says the following:

San Francisco Moscow Teleport.

---------- ----------- ------------ ------------
SFMT was created in 1985. In it's first year, SFMT created the
first computer communication link between the US and USSR
officially approved by both governments.
This is the only public computer network in the USSR!
SFMT has opened a Moscow office (sfmt:sfmtmoscow) for the
purpose of expanding its customer base, providing customer
support, training and technical consultation and collaborative
research and development projects with the Institute for
Automated Systems, USSR. The office,, situated in central of
Moscow, is under the auspices of the Cooperative Association
"ELIN" (electronic information).
Technical support in Moscow:
Computers: Toshiba 3100
Toshiba 1100
Tandy LapTop
Tandy portable
Modems: Concord Series II 224
USRobotics Courier 2400e
Hayes compatible internal modems without error
corrections.
Printers:
Tandy DMP
EPSON LQ
Host: 386 & UNIX
Protocol: X.25 in Moscow
And so on.
We have lots of users in US in USSR that communicate each other
VIA SFMT Net.
We also can use GN PN and IGC systems.
Now, ELIN and IAS start to set Moscow commercial net. So, we need
lot of technical information about net's system programs, host
machines, modems . . . .
Thank you, see you on-line.

P.S. I think that tomorrow (I hope) I'll communicate with you
from Yerevan (Armenia) from my Armenian account "yerevan".
Fantastic problem with the tickets to Yerevan....
-------------------------------------------------------
I was requested to post this from the Moscow office. So this
should anser SOME of your many questions.
Due to the circumstances in Armenia, the Soviet side is VERY BUSY
providing communications for a worthy cause. If needed, we will
possibly be passing messages and posting pleas for help. Just be
patient about getting your answers.
We haven't gotten word about the ICC Convention in Moscow yet, but
as far as I know, it's still on, and they will also be "on-line"
and I will be happy to pass all this useful information onto the Net.
For the time being, I'll post this in "comp.misc". If too many
people object, I have requested the Sys Admins for a seperate newsgroup.
Perhaps "moskvax" might be a possibility after all..... Hmmmm!!!
a 386 running UNIX?? I wonder what they have???
More later.....
