Thank you for the information.  Dave Santek of SSEC told me that he
did not think that there would be much chance of getting access to
Greek data:

  re: contact information for Greece for NOAA POES data

  What do you need that Spain can't provide? Are you looking for routine
  ADDE access?
  
  The system in Greece is for their national weather service, HNMS:

  Unfortunately, this organization is part of the military so security
  & firewalls are a BIG issue. I would be surprised if they would allow
  any access. Also, there data server is on an internal network....when
  I had ssh access to that box, I had to hop through a gateway to get
  there.

I don't think that Oana contacting them is a bad idea, but the request
may not go anywhere.

Do you think that the INM has the NOAA POES data that Oana/NAM is 
looking for?  If yes, what do you think the chances are that they
would be given ADDE access to the server(s)?  I know that it was
very hard for NASA/Johnson Space Flight Center to obtain access
to the INM ADDE servers for Meteosat data, and that was for support
of shuttle operations.

Thanks again for your help!

Cheers,

Tom
