Email in Benares

[John Dunne]

The Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarnath has an e-mail 
account with IIT-Kanpur. It is possible for scholars associated with the 
institute to receive and send e-mail via that account. You might try 
contacting the director, Prof. Samdong Rinpoche, for details. (Please 
contact me for an e-mail address and further information).

I conducted research in Benares for two separate years ('92 and '94-'95),
but I never found a local account other than the one mentioned above. I
heard rumors of some access at BHU and of a local firm that provides
accounts, but these whisperings may have been just another addition to
Banarsi mythology. 

Good luck.
