Rwanda/Burundi WWW

Documents come from the VOA, CBC, DHA, UNICEF, UNHCR, WHO, ICRC, InterAction, VOICE, FFH, Amnesty International, HRW/Africa, USAID, OFDA and the White House. President Bill Clinton's letter in response to email generated on the site's _Mail the President_ gateway is also online.

Here is all you have to do:

1. If you have access to a WWW browser such as Lynx, Cello or Mosaic use this URL (http://www.intac.com/PubService/rwanda/)

2. If you have internet access but don't know about the WWW, you can

	telnet info.cern.ch 
	   (or telnet 128.141.201.74) The simplest line mode browser.
	   This server is in Geneva, Switzerland. 
	telnet ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu 
	   A full screen browser "Lynx" which requires a vt100 terminal.
	   Log in as www. University of Kansas 
	telnet www.njit.edu 
	   Log in as www. A full-screen browser in New Jersey Institute
	   of Technology USA. 
	telnet vms.huji.ac.il 
	   (or telnet 128.139.4.3). A dual-language Hebrew/English database
           with links to the rest of the world. The line mode browser, plus
	   extra features. Log in as www. Hebrew Uiversity of Jerusalem, Israel. 
	telnet sun.uakom.cs 
	   Slovakia. Has a slow link, use from nearby. 
	telnet fserv.kfki.hu 
	   Hungary. Has slow link, use from nearby. Login is as www. 
	telnet info.funet.fi 
	   (or telnet 128.214.6.100) (FINLAND) 

and use the above URL (the stuff in parentheses) after typing 'g'.

3. If you only have email send the following email

To: listserv@www0.cern.ch

send http://www.intac.com/PubService/rwanda/

The last line belongs in the body of the email message (copy it exactly--caps too). You will receive via email the first page of the Rwanda Crisis pages. From there you can request further documents by *replying* (keep the subject line intact) with the body of your reply consisting of the "number(s)" of the document(s) you want. You cannot listen to audio files or view gifs this way, but there are many documents you can still access. If this doesn't make sense, don't worry. Send the first email and everything should become clearer. If you still encounter difficulty, please email me and I'll help you out the best I can. You can use this list server to access any part of the WWW. You might for example be intersted in the HungerWeb (http://www.hunger.brown.edu/hungerweb/).

Good luck and let me know how it goes.
