A UNIX site in New Caledonia is eager to exercise its uucp
software and to become part of the "global village". They are
desperately seeking a site in the USA that will adopt them.
The South Pacific Commission is a scientific installation,
which has a Hewlett Packard 9000. My colleague emphasized to me that
they are interested in the link just for e-mail purposes -- NOT for
downloading tons of info from USENET. In fact, they are limited by a
300 baud link to their earthstation, and would be polling the USA site
-- pretty good assurance that the traffic will be low volume! But
they WOULD hope for a site that wouldn't mind forwarding their e-mail
across USENET.
Would anyone be able to help these guys out?
Unfortunately I am a communications ignoramus, and am not too
sure whether I have all the info that a USA site would want to know
before offering a link. They have access to the French TOMPAC
network, through which they can get onto Tymenet. So ... I guess they need
a willing site that is accessible from Tymenet?
If you'd like to tell me what I should know to organize such a
network connection, please do! Suggestions about what their ideal
setup should be are welcome, too. Thanks,
Alistair
