From: Pascal Renaud <renaud@paris.orstom.fr> To: randy@psg.com CC: Monique MICHAUX <michaux@orstom.fr> Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1993 12:06:03 +0200 RIO net ------- RIO means "Reseau Inter-tropical d'Ordinateurs" RIOnet is a network of electronic communication who participate to the development of The Internet. It has been developed by ORSTOM, a French scientific research agency working in the tropical area. In Africa, RIOnet links presently 25 UNIX hosts in 10 countries giving about 80 access points (terminals or UUPC nodes). Partners -------- RIO net is open to all non-profit establishments. Several Europeans, Africans or International organizations have joined ORSTOM in RIOnet : CIRAD (French gov. Agency : Centre International de Recherche en Agronomie pour le Developpement) OSS (International Agency : Observatoire du Sahara et du Sahel) UNITAR (United Nations Institute for training And Research) GRET (French NGO : Groupe de Recherches et d'Etudes Technologiques), FPH (Swiss NGO : Fondation pour le Progres de l'Homme), ISRA : Institut Senegalais de recherche Agricole (Dakar, Senegal) ENSUT : Ecole Nationale Superieur Universitaire de Technologie (Dakar, Senegal) Universite de Dakar (Senegal) Ministere Senegalais de la Modernisation Centre de Suivi Ecologique (Dakar - Senegal) CORAF : Conference des responsable de Recherche agronomiques AFricain ESI : Ecole Superieur d'Informatique (Ouagadougou - Burkina-Faso) URD : Unite de Recherche Demographique (Universite du Benin - Lome - Togo) Other organizations working in the field of health, agronomy or education are presently in discussion with RIOnet to take part in the project. Technology ----------- The 25 network main nodes are UNIX Workstations. Most of them are linked to public switched data network. The local nodes are PC or Macintosh platforms linked to main nodes with UUCP (or SLIP) on dial-up lines. International communications use TCP/IP or UUCP over public switched data network . Worldwide Internet connectivity (DNS) is provided by the RIO backbone of Montpellier (France). Services : Email, Forums, Listserv,Electronic bulletins, User directory. Users ----- About 1000. They are working for scientific research establishments, Universities, NGO's, library . 13 000 Emails making about 50 MO are sent every month between North (Europe, America) and South (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific) part of network. An agreement (convention) between ORSTOM-RIO and its partners defines the rule for sharing the telecommunication expenses.
