Boy, seems like LASPAU is willing to dump $30k a year on an unnecessary task.

All you really have to do, LASPAU, is identify (using this very medium) the
existing email systems throughout Latin America, and get your scholars off
their collective asses and hooked up.  Virtually all Latin American countries
have academic or non-profit email systems (reachable or connected to the
Internet and/or Bitnet) of one sort or another.  The few that don't have 
X.25 public data networks which allow users to connect to email systems in
other countries (neighboring or otherwise).

Cesar Galindo (the Mexican PhD candiate in computer science, who was doing
work with LASPAU) -- I think that's his name -- should know all of this!
