The online dictionary I use, http://www.savergen.com/onldict/jap.html ,
says renraku means : junction, communication, connection, coordination.
All the other possibilites are communication/connection related. The last
refers to a "connecting ferry." I'll go ahead and post them, just for
completeness sake.


gorenraku getting in touch (hon)

Kouhourenrakusen lines of communication

renraku junction, communication,
connection, coordination

renrakueki connecting station, station where
you change

renrakusaki contact address

renrakusen connecting line

renrakusen connecting ferryboat


The last, the same in english, definetly have different kanji. I'd post
them, but A. My browser has a hard time supporting kanji and B It'd
probably just cause problems.
