From the SAfrican gateway, we forward Fidonet mail to Botswana, and
are busy getting a newly registered .NA on the air. Negotiations
have been going on a long time in an effort to link to the
University in Harare (Zimbabwe). 

We are willing and keen to link to any other site in Africa. We have
some experience with low-tech problems, and in dealing with places
for which 1200 bd is a moderate speed.
