I know this is not directly related to the scope of this list but
I thought that it would be my best source of accurate information.
A faculty member at my university is leaving shortly for Switzerland
for a year's sabbatical and wishes to remain in electronic contact
with UB. What are his options?
I can think of: get an account at an institution in Geneva and do Telnet.
Any suggestions of institutions that might offer such a privilege?
Would Telnet work from Europe (I am probably betraying my provinciality
with that latter question).
Another approach I thought of was to use his laptop and modem and have
dial access to a local number in Geneva. Are there any such numbers
which would provide transatlantic connectivity?
Commercial services such as CompuServe, Delphi?
Other approaches I haven't thought of?
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
