I just checked our company electronic phone book and we have several nodes in Saudi Arabia (and the whole middle-east for that matter...Schlumberger is always pretty close to whereever there's oil). I didn't check how many of these nodes have IP connections (our internal network is migrating from DECnet to TCP/IP), but most of them can probably send/receive Internet mail. As Rami says, this is all within the "slb.com" domain, and not obviously not availble to the public. But yes, there *is* access...
