Connectivity with Africa
version of 93.09.28
randy@psg.com
Copyright 1993, Randy Bush. All rights reserved. May be copied and
distributed, but only for free and only unmodified and in its entirety.
This list was originally compiled for a talk to biologists doing research in
Africa which I gave 93.04.23 at the NSF in DC. The purpose of the list is
not to enumerate all the wires running in Africa, but rather to help answer
the question "How does a normal person communicate with someone in X. Where
might I find publicly available email in X?" I am particularly interested
in nodes which support and encourage an open national and worldwide academic
and NGO networking infrastructure.
With thanks to many, but particularly Mike Jensen of APC, Pascal Renaud of
Orstom, and Steve Goldstein of the NSFNET.
I will try to keep this list up to date for the next while, until African
connectivity explodes making the task difficult and unnecessary. Please
keep me abreast of new nodes and any changes and updates. Thank you.
