One of our departments at UNLV is establishing a relationship with > a new university in Al-Ain, and wants to be able to share e-mail. > > So far, I've struck out on Gulfnet, Internet, and UUCP - I'd seen a vague > reference that UAE was part of Gulfnet, but it wasn't included in the > sites in John Quaterman's Matrix News article on Gulfnet last year, and a > search of Bitnet nodes came up dry. > > There is another University at Abu-Dubai - UAE University. My UNLV > contact says he thinks there's an Internet connection to them, but UUNET, > who has registered the AE domain, says they don't know anything about it.
