      According to Jack Brown, just such a possibility DOES exist. Sergei
    was able to communicate with a colleague while in California via a
    sattellite link. Upon his return to Leningrad there will be a test to 
    determine if the link can be used on a continuing (if limited) basis.

    Other items of interest regarding Sergei's visit:
      I had hoped to arrange for a impromptu guest conference on GEnie. 
    There simply was not enough time.
      However, Dick Miller has located two recent Russian emigre(s), and 
    IF Larry is able to invite Sergei again next year, we will try to set
    up a conference with him and one of the emigre. 
      By the way, both of these recent arrivals are Forth proficient and
    in need of employment.
