fynn@esquire.UUCP (Craig Peter Fynn) (12/08/89)
Some time ago I asked for information about mail sites in
africa. The following is a listing of the responses I
received; which fall into two groups: Fidonet sites
(UNINET is the local noun) reachable from UUCP via
uunet!oresoft!dawggon!5!494!4!<site!user>,
and UUCP sites reachable via "olsa", which is listed on the
maps for South Africa (u.zaf.1).
Most sites are located in and around South Africa, with
Malawi being about as far north as the sites go. (I did
receive one reply about a private link to Liberia though).
Also, a number of countries forbid the interchange of
information with South Africa, and this sort of information
is not encouraged there.
You may mail me directly if there are any questions.
Best Regards,
Craig Fynn _ _

UNINODE 89/10/18
======= ========
This is a list of Uninet nodes and 'postmasters' who will be able
to help with queries as to user names and to provide other
information about the various sites. Note that several sites are
inactive as regards email.
An up to date copy of this file may be obtained by sending the
directive 'SEND UNINODE' as a message to <mailsrv@rures>.
International correspondents wishing to contact RSA users should
send mail to:
user.node@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org
For example, an international user wanting information from the
postmaster at node RURES would address it to:
postmaster.rures@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org
Local (i.e. RSA) users wanting information from the same source
would of course send to <postmaster@rures> or use the more
esoteric 'note postmaster at rures' from VM/CMS sites that do not
have a proper RFC822 mail system.
Please send corrections, additions or queries to <ccfj@rures>.

A '+' in front of the node name shows sites connected to the RSCS portion
of the FRD backbone network. Most other sites rely on async dial up or X.25
links for mail transfer. All nodes are visible on the RSCS network.
