[ih] Obscure e-mail systems

[Larry Press]

I discovered that there was a usenet node at the FAA test center in
Pomona NJ which due to a quirk of telegeography was a local call even
though it was over 30 miles away.

RELCOM provided the gateway between Russia and Finland at the time of the Russian coup attempt of 1991 (http://cis471.blogspot.com/2011/01/before-twitter-revolutions-there-was.html).

About a week before the coup attempt, I was at a party at the home of RELCOM co-founder Vadim Antonov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadim_Antonov) and noticed a terminal in his living room. It turned out that calls in Moscow were free at the time and Vadim had not hung up the connection to his office for six months.

Indeed. Of us who were involved with that connection, I think Dima
Burkov is on this list, but Petri Ojala isn't.

I pinged the server folk early this AM. When/if it comes up you can join on the website. In the meantime, you can try the typical methods for email based mailman join.

Now that the mailman.postel.org web server has been restarted, they do.
