system. Access to ERNET within India is by dial-up lines. There is a 9.6 Kbps
|
|
leased line between shakti and uunet.
|

Since March 1989, shakti has also been connecting to both uunet and mcsun, in the

Netherlands, over X.25 public data networks.

***** A NOTE ABOUT "FINGER"ing INDIAN SITES*******
|
|
|
|
NCST has not received information for shiva.ernet.in and thus
|
|
finger @shiva.ernet.in FAILS.
|
|
|
|
First of all, it is *NOT* like the finger of UNIX systems. It is just a
|
|
database maintained at NCST - a database that has enough info.
|
|
|
|
To get info and help about email addresses in India, type
|
|
|
|
% whois -h sangam.ncst.ernet.in help
|
|
|
|
For a list of all the nodes in India, type
|
|
|
|
% whois -h sangam.ncst.ernet.in "" # The double quotes are essential
|
|
|
|
This w'd give info regarding the nodes presently represented in the
|
|
data base maintained by the NCST people at Bombay.
|
|
|
|
For a list of the nodes present in a given city, type
|
|
|
|
% whois -h sangam.ncst.ernet.in city_name
|
|
|
|
where city_name can be part/whole of the city u wish to send mail to.
|
|
for eg. for a list of all node names in bangalore, try
|
|
% whois -h sangam.ncst.ernet.in bang
|
|
|
|
Once the exact node name is known, to obtain the login name of the
|
|
person you wish to contact,
|
|
|
|
% whois -h sangam.ncst.ernet.in name_of_the_person@node_name
|
|
|
|
where name_of_the_person can be part/whole of the person's last/first
|
|
or middle name [ Nick names not allowed :-) ]
|
|
|
|
All searches are case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
The NCST people are maintaining this database as a service to the public.
|
|
It is not polite to flood the postmaster's mailbox with
|
|
requests regarding the database and with requests for forwarding the mail.
|
|
If the database FAILS to answer your query ONLY THEN send mail to
|
|
|
|
postmaster@the_node_u_want_to_send_mail.ncst.ernet.in
|
|
|
|
The internet address of shakti.ncst.ernet.in is 144.16.1.1

=============== ADDRESSING INDIAN SITES FROM OUTSIDE INDIA ===============
|
|
| |
|
|
| If you are at a site that can | USER@SITE.ernet.in |
|
|
| handle domains | *(almost all of them)* |
|
|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| If you are at a site that can't | ...!uunet!UUCP-PATH!USER |
|
|
| handle domains | |
|
|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| Where: UUCP-PATH - is the uucp path for the site. See list below. |
|
|
| USER - recipient's mail name on the destination host. |
|
|
| SITE - recipient's site name on the network. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Note: Users using the C-shell under Unix systems may have to quote |
|
|
| the "!" characters in the mail address. This can be done by |
|
|
| using "\!" in place of "!". |
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
| This list is valid as of November, 1993. |
|
|
| Some non-ERnet addresses are also included in this list. |
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
|
|
Each site is required to have a postmaster who can answer general inquiries
|
|
about users and hosts at that site (try root, if mail bounces).
|
|
|
|
In the following, insert the user name before the address of the computer
|
|
(immediately before the "@"). Thus, if you wish to send email to user xyz
|
|
at the IIM, Ahmedabad, you should send email to "xyz@iimahd.ernet.in".
|
|
|
|
LEGEND

Subject: 9) VISITOR VISA INFORMATION:
|
|
|
|
Information on the documents required for visitor's visa to USA :-
|
|
|
|
When the person you are inviting applies to the consulate for the
|
|
visitor's visa, he/she has to show documents indicating your
|
|
financial capability to support their visit for the specified
|
|
|
|
duration.It seems the consulate people are more concerned about
|
|
potential immigrants, rather then financial capability.
|
|
|
|
(1) Form I-134.
|
|
Affidavit of Support (this form is printed by U.S. Department
|
|
of Justice. Immigration and Naturalization Service) The Form-134
|
|
must be filled completely and Notarized.
|
|
(2) Bank Balance statement (copy)
|
|
(3) A letter of verification of employment. (copy)
|
|
(4) A valid visa. (H-1 if working etc) (copy)
|
|
|
|
You only need to send copies of items 2, 3 and 4. They are not
|
|
a must, but they will prove that you have sufficient funds to take
|
|
care of the visitors during their visit, which in turn will make
|
|
getting the visa a little easier.
|
|
|
|
** Note **
|
|
The INS office in San Francisco informed me that I need to send
|
|
Form I-134 and a personal letter of invitation to my parents. They
|
|
then have to take it to the American Embassy.
|
|
|
|
To get the form I-134 call your local INS office.

Subject: 11) CUSTOM REGULATIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW BAGGAGE RULES
|
|
|
|
NEW DELHI - The govt has further liberalised the baggage rules for persons
|
|
returning to India from abroad as also for foreign tourists visiting the
|
|
country.
|
|
|
|
It has now been decided to include fax machines in the items whose imports
|
|
by persons transferring their residence to India for a minimum period of
|
|
one year are allowed at a concessional rate of customs duty of 25% ad
|
|
valorem (Notification number 8/93-Customs dated Feb 17, 1993 and
|
|
notifications No. 17/93-Customs(NT) dated Feb 17, 1993).
|
|
Under the existing provision, persons transferring their residence to
|
|
India for a minimum period of one year are entitled to import 13 items
|
|
of consumer durables at the concessional customs duty rate.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, a person who has engaged in his professions abroad for over
|
|
three months is allowed to import free of duty, such portable equipment,
|
|
instruments, apparatus and appliances as are ordinarily required in
|
|
his profession, upto a value limit of Rs 7,500. This concession is
|
|
intended for import of tools of trade of carpenters, plumbers, masons
|
|
and welders. While this provision will continue, it has been decided
|
|
that in case the passenger was engaged in his profession abroad for over
|
|
six months, duty free concession for such items shall be extended upto
|
|
a value limit of Rs 15,000 (Notification no. 15/93-Customs(NT) dated
|
|
Feb 17,1993).
|
|
|
|
Another significant change pertains to the tourist baggage rules, as per
|
|
which a tourist is entitled to import certain articles (such as cameras,
|
|
CD player, music system etc.) which are required by him during his stay
|
|
in India on the condition that these would be re-exported within 6 months.
|
|
This period of six months can be extended by the collector or the Central
|
|
Board of Excise & Customs depending upon the period for which extension
|
|
is required. It has sometimes been noticed that tourists are put
|
|
to difficulties when they are leaving India after a stay of more than
|
|
six months and when they have not applied for extension to the Collector
|
|
or the Board.
|
|
|
|
It has now been decided to delegate the power of grant of extension
|
|
of the period up to six months to the assistant collector at the airport
|
|
itself so that the visiting tourists (NRIs and others) are not put to
|
|
any hardship (Notification 16/93-Customs(NT) dated Feb 17,1993).
|
|
|
|
According to another decision, rules regarding what will qualify a
|
|
minimum stay abroad enabling import of items at concessional duty rates
|
|
have been made easier. A person who has been working abroad for more
|
|
than a year and returning to India on termination of his assignment
|
|
is allowed to import, free of duty, his personal effects and house
|
|
hold articles to an aggregate value of Rs 30,000 which have been in
|
|
his or his families possession and used abroad for a minimum of six
|
|
months. However 13 items of consumer durables (now being increased
|
|
to 14( are liable to duty at the rate of 25%. Short visits upto
|
|
45 days to India during the aforesaid period of one year are allowed
|
|
so long as the stay abroad is not less than 365 days.
|
|
|
|
It has now been decided to allow this benefit irrespective of the
|
|
short visits availed to India so long as the stay aborad is not les
|
|
than 365 days in the two years immediately preceding the date of
|
|
arrival of such person to India (Notification no. 15/93-Customs(NT)
|
|
dated Feb 17, 1993).
|
|
|
|
It has also been decided to increase the quantity of alcoholic liquor
|
|
which can be imported duty free by a passenger to one litre from the
|
|
existing quantity of 0.95 litre, keeping in view the practice of
|
|
packing by international manufacturers (Notification No. 15/93-
|
|
Customs (NT) dated Feb 17, 1993).
|
|
|
|
CARRYING GOLD TO INDIA
|
|
Gold including ornaments, except those studded with stones or pearls,
|
|
will be allowed to be imported as a part of baggage by passengers of
|
|
Indian origin subject to certain conditions. The quantity of gold
|
|
imported will not exceed 5 kg per passenger and he should have stayed
|
|
abroad for a period of atleast six months. The import duty is, to be
|
|
paid in convertible foreign currency, Rs. 220.00 for 10 grams of gold
|
|
in any form (ornaments or coins).

Call this office for a brochure. They are some great plans that you probably

|
INDRAIL PASS
|
|
|
|
The Indrail Pass gives unlimited rail travel within India in the
|
|
specified time period. It is available to non-Indian citizens as well
|
|
as Indians residing outside India. It can be purchased through the General
|
|
Sales Agents (details below), though any competent travel agent should
|
|
be able to fix you up. It can also be bought from major stations in India.
|
|
Main plus points include eliminating the need to buy tickets for every
|
|
trip, though reservations are necessary. There are special reservation
|
|
quotas on some trains for Indrail holders.
|
|
It is available in 3 categories: AC, First Class, Second Class. It is
|
|
not advisable to take the AC pass since not many trains have AC First Class.
|
|
The First Class pass also covers AC Sleeper and AC Chair Car.

|
|
There are also odd rules like a foreigner can buy a pass for his/her
|
|
spouse.
|
|
Another plus point is that you can make reservations upto 360 days
|
|
in advance, i.e. even through your travel agent in the US-though you
|
|
would have to have the pass in hand before making reservations.
|

|
|
|
Jeroen Hellingman has developed a Malayalam font for use with the TeX
|
|

|
|
fonts in an easy way, together called Malayalam TeX. A version of this
|
|
software package is available free by anonymous ftp from
|
|
archive.cs.ruu.nl:/pub/TEX/FONTS/Malayalam-TeX-1.1.zip

Subject: 20) How to anonymous ftp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"anonymous FTP" is just a way for files to be stored where anyone
|
|
can retrieve them over the Net. For example, to retrieve the
|
|
latest version of the Moria FAQ, do the following:
|
|
|
|
> ftp rtfm.mit.edu /* connect to the site; a message follows */
|
|
> anonymous /* type this when it asks for your name */
|
|
> <your email address> /* type your address as the password */
|
|
> cd /pub/usenet /* go to the directory you want to be */
|
|
> cd rec.games.moria /* one level down (no slash). */
|
|
> dir /* look at what's there */
|
|
> get r.g.m_F_A_Q /* get the file; case-sensitive */
|
|
> quit /* stop this mysterious thing */
|
|
|
|
If your FTP program complains that it doesn't know where the site you
|
|
want to use is, type the numerical address instead of the sitename:
|
|
|
|
> ftp 18.70.0.209 /* connect with numerical address */
|
|
|
|
If you don't have ftp access, send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
|
|
with the single word "help" in the body of the message.
|
|
|
|
Getting binary files (executables, or any compressed files) is only
|
|
slightly more difficult. You need to set binary mode inside FTP before
|
|
you transfer the file.
|
|
|
|
> binary /* set binary transfer mode */
|
|
> ascii /* set back to text transfer mode */
|
|

|
|
.tar.Z Compressed 'tape archive'; uncompress then untar or tar -xvf

|
|
.hqx (Mac) BinHex format
|
|
.sit (Mac) StufIt archive
|
|
.zip (PC) Extract with Zip or Unzip
|
|
.zoo (PC) Yet another archive/compress program
|
|
.lhe (Amiga) ?
|
|
.exe (PC) Self-extracting archives - just execute them.
|
|
.uue or .UUE Transfer as text file; use uudecode to convert to binary
|
|
|
|

|
|
how to transfer, extract, and virus-check binary files. (At rtfm.mit.edu)
