Re: Iraq communications.  I know that short-wave radios are banned in
Iraq, so I doubt that modems are commonly used.  I did meet a U.N.
telecomms consultant who was helping Iraq set up a Minitel system
(they never did) so that the Iraqi women could be educated at home.
This was meant to appease the Shiite fundamentalists within the
country.   I have also see reference to American firms receiving
faxes from Iraqi organizations (requesting weapons components, etc),
but I'll bet there are few in the hands the techno-geeks in Baghdad
or Basra.
