I know this is not on the usual subject of this forum, but some past
postings indicate some knowledge of TELEcommunications in the USSR,
maybe more than they have there given the apparent state of things
over there (from news reports). This was a request posted to MEDNEWS
readers by the moderator of that forum. In any case, it seems a
healthy break from much of the bitching and complaining that often
characterizes this Digest. If you can help or make any suggestions,
please reply to the sinatory at the end of the message or myself and I
will forward.  Thanks VERY much.

Could you please post following as an 'urgent' request for information,
unless you happen to be able to answer it yourself.  Thanks.
 
I have been contacted by the Diabetes Forum administrator on
CompuServe regarding the problem of diabetic children in the USSR.  A
group of parents in need of assistance with information and (to us)
readily available material, had contacted him recently.  We may be in
a position to support these people in a very real sense, but the main
problem right now is the almost total lack of communication with the
area in question.
 
We have an urgent need for a communications link with USSR not too
distant from the town or city of "Krasnodar", zip code 350000.
 
If someone does have knowledge of an Internet link in the USSR, or a
FidoNet link, or any other useful network, please contact me as soon
as possible at the address below.
 
Help us help those children!  Thanks.
