I have a good friend named Anne, who attends school in Bordeaux. I
have been trying to find any Internet hosts in Bordeaux, hoping that
she could get an account. She goes to INSEEC, and I am not sure if it
has any hosts on the Internet.

I did some digging around in an old network directory file on
emx.utexas.edu, and found the following information with a grep
search:
       Interuniversitaire  de  Calcul  de  Bordeaux,  France,  Universite  de
       Bordeaux I, 351 Cours  de  la  Liberation,  F-33405  Talence;  Jacques
       Radioelectricite de Bordeaux, 351, cours  de  la  Liberation,  F-33405
       Bordeaux,  France,  Centre  Hospitalier  Regional  de Bordeaux, Centre
       Observatoire  de  Bordeaux,  France,  Observatoire de l'Universite, de
       Bordeaux I, BP 21, F-33270 Floirac; JP  Busset,  BUSSET@FROBOR51,  +33
       Programmation,  Bordeaux,  France,  GRECO  de  Programmation  du CNRS,
       Universite de Bordeaux I, 351 Cours de la Liberation, F-33405 Talence;
    Centre Interuniversitaire de Calcul de Bordeaux;
    CRIH de Bordeaux;
    Observatoire de Bordeaux;

I sent a printout of the above list to Anne; perhaps she can do more to
find Internet hosts since she actually is IN Bordeaux.

I also searched through a WAIS database using gopher-
(7.  Other Gopher and Information Servers
 	7.  WAIS Based Information
 		3.  Everything
 			130. domain-organizations.src <?>)
This returned what appear to be names of hosts in bordeaux:

bordeaux.inra.fr
greco-prog.fr

I have sent mail to "postmaster" at both of these sites, but have
received no reply yet.

Does anyone know of any hosts in Bordeaux? Also, is there anything
else I could do (save going to Bordeaux) to find hosts in Bordeaux
where Anne could get an account?

Thanks in advance for ANY help.
