Interesting coincidence. -Barry Shein, Boston Univeristy --------------------forwarded message-------------------- Return-Path: <kang%robax.decnet@venus.ycc.yale.edu> Date: 24 Oct 87 20:11:00 EDT From: "ROBAX::KANG" <kang%robax.decnet@venus.ycc.yale.edu> Subject: Networking to China --- following up To: "info-nets" <info-nets@Think.COM> Reply-To: "ROBAX::KANG" <kang%robax.decnet@venus.ycc.yale.edu> Greetings, This is a follow-up to my last postings. Now we have found some new information about the network to China announced by the People's Daily. Here is a new post from the CHINANET list. Hope it helps to thoses who are interested. People working on CHINANET project are interested in sharing experiences with the individuals who worked out the above connection. The European end of this connection is the Karlsruhe Univ in West Germany. Can anyone help in locating the addresses of the people involved in this project? --- Kang Sun ================================================================== About the link to Europe as reported by People's Daily, I just saw a latest, more detailed coverage of it on Oct 22nd's China Daily News (the English translation of HuaQiao RiBao). This link is indeed different from the link Sijin's sister is working on. It is between Karlsruhe Univ in West Germany and the Institute of Computer Technology under the State Commission for Machinary. The head of the Chinese Institute is LI Chengjong. The person in charge of the link is WANG Yunfeng. The computer being connected there is one made in Japan, by "Xi Men Zi" company, I suppose the model of the computer is M7760. The German professor in charged of the link is pronounced as "Tso-en". Maybe Sun Kang can help us in finding more information about him and the network he is on. It is encouraging that at least two groups in China are already working on network connections to outside world. What we really need may be better cooperations among these groups and that between these groups and CHINANET initiators, in lobbeying for support from the highest levels of Chinese govnment, in making CHINANET a network in the true sense (rather than individual links). -Zhenqin ------
