It sounds like you should be able to log in via GTE Telenet; call them at 800-336-0437 and explain that the number above is a X.25 address (2502 is the data network identification code for IASNET and the rest is the NUA number). Now a question to the readership of Info-nets: given an address like the above, and a mailbox, can one send e-mail to it? P.S. Alan, I'd appreciate a lot of you let me know if you find out anything that you think is of interest. Thanks!! Dimitri Vulis

To my surprise, I can set up a XXX connection to it from here (Netherlands) with the following result: $ pad 02502040300 You are connected to the Communication Node of Institute for Automated Systems, Moscow, USSR Moscow Time: Mon Feb 5 13:13:22 1990 Enter your ID > Enter your psw> Login incorrect $ Info-netters: Don't start trying all off you now ! It is a very slow line and setting up a connection will probably cost you or your empoyers a lot of money. Willem
