I'm posting this for a friend -- so please, no net replies.
 
He is moving from Chicago to Tel Aviv at the end of August.  He has
been an active telecommunicator here for a couple of years, and wants
to stay involved.  He has a couple of questions:
 
(1) Are there any PC-DOS-oriented BBSes in Israel?  If so, what are
    the phone numbers?
 
(2) What is the easiest way of sending messages and files between
    Tel Aviv and Chicago?  One way he knows of is via Bitnet between
    Tel Aviv University and Northwestern University.  Is there a
    better way?
 
(3) He has a Courier 2400 modem.  Are there any problems in running
    this?
 
I will summarize replies here at a later date.
 
Thanx to all in advance,

Bill Fischer
