My source (which I recommend): !%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing and Networks by Donnalyn Frey and Rick Adams Published by O'Reilly and Associates, Inc. 632 Petaluma Avenue Sebastopol, CA 95472 The string of characters at the front are actually part of the title, but if you ask for the book at a book store, you probably ought to ask for "A Directory of Electronic Mail". Since you appear to be in Houston, I can suggest that you will probably find this book at your local BookStop. You can also contact O'Reilly and Associates at uunet!ora!nuts or call them at 1-800-338-NUTS (in California, 1-800-533-NUTS). The reference to nuts is because O'Reilly does the Nutshell Handbook series of Unix books (including Using UUCP and Usenet, and Managing UUCP and Usenet). I am not affiliated with O'Reilly and Associates in any way other than as a user of some of their books. -lar -- Lar Kaufman Save American jobs: (voice) 512-329-2455 (fax) 512-329-2755 * Make quality products lark@tivoli.com * Provide quality services

My source (which I recommend): There is a moderate size map file for India in comp.mail.maps! Thus, India is conneced to UUCP, which I would call a significant global network :-) The following organizations are listed (the #O field): Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay Centre for Development of Advanced Computing Centre for Development of Telematics, Delhi Central Research Laboratories. Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Comp. Sci. Dept. Inter Univ. Ctr. for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune Jawaharlal Nehru University, Dept. of Physical Sciences Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi Institute for Plasma Research, Ahmedabad National Centre for Software Technology Indian Institute of Technology, Madras Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay Indian Institute Of Science Computer Aided Design Laboratory Electrical Engineering Dept., IISc Bangalore Dept. of Electronics We correspond with researchers in India on a regurlar basis using e-mail. -- Andrew Patrick, Ph.D. Department of Communications, Ottawa, CANADA andrew@calvin.doc.CA andrew@doccrc.BITNET Bill Watterson for President!

Ok, I found it and you are correct. For some reason, I did not look above the divider line, which separates entries into groups of 5. Thanks for the correction. I infer from your comment that there is a later edition of the book than the First Edition - or were you referring to a hardback/paperback kind of edition? -lar P.S. The network listed is ERNET, the Education and Research in Computer Networks. "To access the ERNET info-server, send electronic mail to uunet!shakti!infoserv or mcvax!shakti!infoserv and the body of the message should include: request:directory topic:name[name][name] where name is the user name at a site in India. Case is important. Replies are returned by electronic mail." -- Lar Kaufman I would feel more optimistic about a bright future (voice) 512-794-9070 for man if he spent less time proving that he can (fax) 512-794-0623 outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness lark@tivoli.com and respecting her seniority. - E.B.

The second edition of !%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing and Networks was published in June, 1990. The third edition should come out sometime this summer. An annual update is planned. Its surprising how much chages from edition to edition. A year is a long time in the networking world. For example, shakti.ernet.in is now reachable via TCP over a 9.6 SLIP line. Six months ago, it was UUCP over the same leased line. A year ago it was UUCP over X.25. Next year, maybe a faster line... ---rick p.s. We wanted to add another hare on the cover for each edition, but couldn't talk the publisher into it.
