Can anybody tell me how to exhange email with the soviet union? I've been told it's possible to use Bitnet to reach Hungary, and there's at least one anonymous ftp site in Finland, so it dosen't seem completely out of the question. The people I want to reach are in Moscow at the Lebedev Institute and at the Institute for General Physics. thanks bob prohaska

There is a UUCP connection between Helsinki and Moscow. The .SU domain registered at SRI-NIC is this small Soviet UUCP network called RELCOM. Among the institutions on it are the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Joint Inst. for Nuclear Research in Dubna, high-energy physics sites in Serpukhov and Protvino, et al. I asked them to help me get e-mail to the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, and they got it online right away and gave it a domain name. Now we happily exchange e-mail.

Hi Dimitri, Thanks for replying so fast, your letter gives me hope of establishing a connection before I go there. If it can be made to work it'll be a huge help. I've included a copy of your letter below, for I am a little bit puzzled by the included institute names. Are these the sites which are on RELCOM at the present time? Do I have to give my contacts in Moscow any information besides the phone number 231-2129 and the names Dmitri Volodin and Vadim Antonov?
