A scientist I'd like to stay in touch with is going on a sabbatical to Brazil; he doesn't think that where he's going has any e-mail connections, but they'd be interested in getting one. So, the first question for me to ask: are there any foreign e-mail connections to Brazil _already_? Has anybody out there ever sent e-mail to Brazil? \ /\ /\ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\.-.-.-.-.......___________ \ / \ / \ /Dept of Geophysics, Stanford University \/\/\.-.-....___ \/ \/ \/Joe Dellinger joe@hanauma.stanford.edu apple!hanauma!joe\/\.-._

> e-mail connections to Brazil _already_? Has anybody out there ever > sent e-mail to Brazil? These are two questions. The answers in order are: yes, yes. As a ,matter of fact I'm sending and receiving e-mail from my beloved Brasil here in Europe. No problems ever encountered except that one of those bad (Three letter company name deleted) mainframes is down. All Brasilian universities are reachable, most of them on Bitnet.Turnaroundtime here is 5 min. but keep in mind the time difference (till sept. Brasil -5, later -3, from Europe Summer Time).By the way I envy you for going there, would give my left arm if I could go (that's serious). Good luck (or as they say in Brasil: Fica com Deus!) fmr@cwi.nl -- It is better never to have been born. But who among us has such luck? Maintainer's Motto: If we can't fix it, it ain't broke.
