Since RPCVs helped me with my problem, I am forwarding this message in
hopes it will be of some help to those who are trying to get INTERNET
connections into Africa.

 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.
