CSNet PhoneNet access
From: Dave Crocker <DCROCKER@UDEL>
The University of Delaware (UDel) is now providing mail-
relaying service between Arpanet and PhoneNet-based sites, as
part of NSF's CSNet Project. PhoneNet sites are contacted by
periodic telephone calls, initiated either by UDel or the client
site.
At the moment, the Computer Science Departments at Purdue and
Cornell Universities are being accessed via PhoneNet. In
addition, several UDel and Department of the Army sites are
connected, as part of a separate, continuing project. Within the
next few weeks, several more CSNet clients will be added to
PhoneNet. The rate of addition is expected to increase after
that.
Mail may be sent to PhoneNet-based users by employing a
three-part address of the form:
mailbox.phone-site at UDel
examples are:
denning.purdue at UDel
dean.cornell at UDel
There are plans to develop an address directory, similar to
the Arpanet Directory.
The complete list of current PhoneNet sites is:
Cornell
Purdue
UDel-EE
UDel-EEVax
UDel-CC
UDel-CC-UnixB
Darcom-HQ (U.S. Army)
Micom (U.S. Army)
General CSNet-related questions may be addressed to
CSNet@UDel. Questions about PhoneNet mail relaying may be
addressed to PhoneNet@UDel.
