           NCSAnet is a regional supercomputing network with sites pri-
           marily  located  in  Illinois,  Wisconsin, and Indiana.  The
           NCSAnet private corporate network is national in scale.

           NCSAnet is a dual-hub network with hubs on the  campuses  of
           the  University  of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at Chi-
           cago.  The Chicago hub, or, CHUB, is a Chicago  area  metro-
           politan  network  with  current  members UI-Chicago, Univ of
           Chicago (see also CICnet), Northwestern (see  also  CICnet),
           Illinois  Inst.  of  Tech., Argonne National Laboratory, and
           Notre Dame.  The Urbana hub connects the Univ  of  Wisconsin
           Milwaukee  and  Parkside  campuses and Purdue University, as
           well as  private  corporate  labs  in  New  York,  Illinois,
           Oklahoma, and Indiana.

           Expansion of the academic portion of the network  will  con-
           tinue, primarily through a state of Illinois network, netIL-
           LINOIS, which has been proposed  to  connect  smaller,  pri-
           marily  undergraduate institutions in Illinois.  netILLINOIS
           is a proposed joint network project  led  by  the  Computing
           Services  Office  at the University of Illinois and with the
           National Center  for  Supercomputing  Applications  and  the
           University of Illinois at Chicago.

           NCSAnet   is   operated   by   the   National   Center   for

           Supercomputing Applications in cooperation with the  Comput-

           network is operated by the University of  Illinois  at  Chi-
           cago.

           NCSAnet interoperates with CICnet and other networks to pro-
           vide  access  to special resources or to other regional net-
           works and to the NSFNET backbone.
