[comp.mail.misc] East Germany...?

ARTABAR@MTUS5.BITNET (12/03/90)

Is the land that was once called East Germany going to be on Internet
or BITNET? (or are they already?)

I don't know for BLITNET, but i think it's not very probable, given the
current german networking setup. Internet is in the queue, with many
of those universities there possibly joining the net first to second quarter
next year, if everthing works well. This is at least what i'm hoping for,
but don't quote me, maybe next year will just see big net-confusion
in germany ;-(

well, the /etc/hosts at the Technical University Berlin shows
some sl/ip links to hosts there. if i recall correctly among them 
is the uni leipzig, but i don't know for sure. i think
Willi Koehler (wk@opal.cs.tu-berlin.de) should be able to
tell you more, or knows people who can.
