Whereas we at EUnet were a bit more pragmatic. I am assured <br>
Daniel Karrenberg still has a copy of the "EUnet X.400 migration<br>
plan" that we had, because we had to (due to some EC funding). <br>
Once it was written, nobody ever touched it again. :)<br>

Really hard to remember the exact years at this point - and too<br>
many documents from that time only resided on hard disks<br>
that have now moved to the great hard disk graveyard. :(<br>

I did find a note from April 1992 that states: <br>
"A 19.2 kbit/s IP link between Prague and Linz (Austria) is<br>
operational today. The line is multiplexed and carries EARN and<br>
general IP services. An upgrade till 64 kbit/s is foreseen for June<br>
1992. A second link, 9.6 kbit/s IP between Bratislava and Vienna<br>
(Austria), is shared between EUnet traffic and general IP traffic.<br>
Both links connect into the upcoming academic backbone network,<br>
FESnet."<br>
<br>
i still work with one of the early EUnet Czechoslovakia guys,<br>
so I will ask next time I see him.<br>
