I'm in need of better connections over the Atlantic. We need to be able to talk to a lot of IP sites in the US. I've been thinking of using IP on top of X.25, probably running on a Sun. I need to know if it works and if there is someone in the US that can act as a gateway between X.25 and the Internet or if there is a better solution. Znks, Thomas. -- Real life: Thomas Hameenaho Email: thomas@uplog.se Snail mail: TeleLOGIC Uppsala AB Phone: +46 18 189406 Box 1218 Fax: +46 18 132039 S - 751 42 Uppsala, Sweden

Thank you all for replying. I should have said that we already have a connection to the nordunet that works very well. However due to political reasons we are not allowed to use it other than for mail and news. We can't even use it for mail without restrictions as we get filtered out when we try to get outside of the nordunet, we have to use a relay host that is not restricted. I've talked to people in the management of the network and they said it has been discussed but no decision has been made yet. We are of course prepared to pay for the service and I think this could be a way of partly financing the network. But no luck at this moment. You guys on the other side of the big water should be grateful to the military and the government you have that is foreseeing. On this side we only have the greedy telecom companys and governments that doesn't see longer than the nose reaches. No wonder that the news in the computer business comes from your side. Boy do I despise bureaucrats! Thomas -- Real life: Thomas Hameenaho Email: thomas@uplog.se Snail mail: TeleLOGIC Uppsala AB Phone: +46 18 189406 Box 1218 Fax: +46 18 132039 S - 751 42 Uppsala, Sweden
