----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Hi Users,
I have been in contact with a user in RSA and he sent me the following;
The Republic of South Africa has just opened a network of nodes to a number
of academic institutions. What follows is a description of the types of
links available.
Best wishes,
Peter Horwitz

UNINODE                                                                 89/09/10
=======                                                                 ========

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.

International correspondents wishing to contact RSA users should send mail to:

                user.node@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org

for example, requests to the postmaster at node rures should be addressed to:

             postmaster.rures@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org

Please send corrections, additions or queries to 'ccfj@rures'

 A '.' in front of the node name signifies a site connected to the RSCS portion
 of the FRD backbone network. Most other sites rely on async dial up or X.25
 links.
