Excuse the followup instead of a reply but cant send to uucp addresses
with our mailer ...

If the originators of this request want to attract mercenary Americans
to donate equipment it would be best for them to establish and register
a non-profit corporation and try to get it registered as a charity so
that donators can take charitable tax deductions. Also, since it is
possible that some kinds of computer equipment (including modems) may
still be embargoes/contraband to the USSR, it would be best for such a
US-based agency to receive the equipment and take responsibility for
clearing it through customs.
