ISPs in Russia and elsewhere

[Kat Tancock]

If her regular mail is pop mail, then the simplest way for her to access it
would probably be through a web mail account - hotmail or yahoo, for
instance. Most web mail systems have settings for checking pop mail
accounts, and they are then easily accessible from any computer with
browsing capabilities.

> I have an interesting problem that the list may be able to solve for me. A
> friend of mine based in the Netherlands travels frequently to the US, the
> Pacific and to Russia, and she would like to remain in email contact. She
> is currently with Compuserve, which was, until recently, ideal because of
> local dialup nodes everywhere. Compuserve has discontinued local dialup
> access in much of Eastern Europe including Moscow making email a very
> expensive proposition. My questions are as follows:
> Are there isps which provide worldwide local dialups including Moscow/SP?
> Is there a web-retrieval system from which you could access existing email
> accounts at a cyber cafe or library?
> Is there a simple way to telnet to the compuserve account? I'm afraid if
> the process is elaborate she will not do it.
> Are there any alternatives to the scenario which I have described? I'm sure
> someone has an elegant means of dealing with this inconvenience.

> Thanks, Mark
