- I'd certainly not advise any consideration of Prodigy, based on everything
- which has been said about them in this group and elsewhere.

- According to Quarterman in The Matrix, Indonesia has (or had at one time)
- a public data network called SKDN, run by their Post, Telephone, & Telegraph.
- In some countries similar PDNs offer email service connecting to commercial
- services here such as Telemail.

- Although not registered as a UUCP node, the Institut Teknologi Bandung may be
- reachable using indogtw!itbgtw!postmaster@uunet.uu.net. If not, further
- information may be available from indogtw!didik@uunet.uu.net. Unfortunately,
- available information seems to be at least three years old.
