Subject: Poland E-Mail Sites?
This is an open request to any HUMANIST member who has made Internet
or BITNET contacts with sites in Poland. Basically we are considering
sending full-text files (or messages) using network capabilities.
A specific point: what are the size limits on FILE vs. E-MAIL trans-
missions?
Obviously we all do this right now. Are there any problems in sending
messages to Poland. Do the connections stay open consistently?
Is there a list of internet -accessible nodes that one can download
-------------
A quick search by using "RESOLVE" provides nodes for Warsaw:
PLWATU21
PLWAUW12
and for Wroclaw (formerly Breslau)
PLWRTU11
PLWRTU51
There don't seem to be any Internet sites available yet. Internet has
reached several institutions in former West Germany but none in former
East Germany yet.

Bitnet connections into for East Germany can be looked up by your
friendly system operator of your local bitnet host machine. This person
can also help you to determine whether a link to one of those formerly
"East German" universities is active or not. If the link is active, a
note to the postmaster could produce a response.
Notes to postmasters at formerly "West German" universities often get
ignored. I gave up trying to reach German universities' postmasters a
long time ago. But have one exceptional postmaster over there, too -
whose name I am not allowed to disclose! So there are at least two
great postmasters in Germany!
My information is that all German Universities should be on DFG
(Deutsches Forschungsnetz) in the near future. The DFG has a Bitnet
Gateway. Possibly, some of the German Humanists can illuminate us on
the status of the DFG/Bitnet connections of universities in Berlin,
Rostock, Greifswald, Brandenburg, Halle, Leipzig, Jena, Dresden etc. On
the other hand, German computer operators, in my opinion, still believe
in protecting the machines from the users (particularly humanists!) and
have a hard time accepting the idea of international email and file
transfers by other than computer scientists.

Subject: The term "Judeo-Christian"

According to Mark Silk "Notes on the Judeo-Christian
tradition in America" American quarterly 36:1 (Spring
1984) 65-85, the term developed currency in the context
of opposition to fascism in the 1930's.
