                                      CHAPTER 7
                                   NON-U.S. SITES

               The  Internet,  having originated in the United States,
               is not surprisingly strongest and most diverse in  that
               country.      However,  the  Internet  is  a  worldwide
               enterprise  and  there  are  many  networks   in   many
               countries   that   are   full   and   active   Internet
               participants.  Larry Landweber  of  the  University  of
               Wisconsin  maintains  a  file  describing international
               connectivity, that covers not only IP connectivity, but
               BITNET,  UUCP,  FidoNet,  and OSI connectivity as well.
               According to the April 10, 1992 version of  this  file,
               there   are   107   entities  (mostly  countries)  with
               international connectivity.  This file is  included  in
               Appendix IX for your information.


               This  section  describes some of these networks.  These
               descriptions are provided so that if you are in one  of
               these  countries  and  would  like  to  connect  to the
               Internet, you can contact the resource listed for  your
               country and get started.


               However,  what  if  you  are  in  a country that is not
               listed here?   How  would  you  go  about  joining  the
               Internet?    This  can  be  a  challenge  if  there  is
               currently no Internet presence  in  your  country,  but
               here are some ideas about how to get started.


               First,  determine whether the top-level domain for your
               country  has  been  delegated  by   the   DDN   Network
               Information  Center.  That is, does the DDN NIC list an
               administrative contact for that domain?  You  can  find
               this out by contacting the DDN NIC:

                         Government Systems, Inc.
                         Attn: Network Information Center
                         14200 Park Meadow Drive
                         Suite 200
                         Chantilly, VA  22021
                         800 365 3642
                         +1 703 802 4535
                         FAX: +1 703 802 8376
                         hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil



               If  the DDN NIC does list someone, contact that person.
               He is probably knowledgeable about networking  in  your
               country and can help you get started.  You will need to
               register your domain name with him as well.


               If your country's domain has not been delegated,  there
               is  probably no connection to the Internet based on the
               TCP/IP protocols.  However,   there  may  be  at  least
               electronic  mail  access based on other protocols.  You
               may wish to check books that have  lists  of  networks.
               For  example,  !%@::  A  Directory  of  Electronic Mail
               Addressing and Networks by Donnalyn Frey and Rick Adams
               [1],  The  Matrix  by  John  Quarterman [2], and Users'
               Directory of Computer Networks by Tracy LaQuey [4] have
               network  listings  that  are  much  more extensive than
               those provided here.  In addition, there are  a  couple
               of  newsletters  that  often  discuss the international
               aspects of networking.  One  is  the  Internet  Society
               News  [5],  whose  first  volume  was issued in January
               1992; another is Matrix News  [6],  offered  by  Matrix
               Information   and   Directory   Services,  Inc.    More
               information about each  of  these  newsletters  can  be
               found in Section 13.


               If  you  can find no established networking presence in
               your country, you will have to start  from  scratch  by
               contacting  possible providers and seeing what they can
               do for you.  Some good places to start are:

                  - The commercial service  providers  listed  in
                    Section  4.    As they are in the business of
                    providing Internet connections, they are very
                    motivated to help.  Some of them already have
                    connections from the U.S. to other countries.
                    These  particular  providers  are repeated in
                    Section  7.17.    However,  some   of   their
                    non-U.S.  connections  may  be due to special
                    project   affiliations    or    some    other
                    arrangement  that might make it difficult for
                    these sites to help some  other  organization
                    even  within  the  same  country  to join the
                    Internet.

                  - The NSF Network Service  Center  (NNSC)  (see
                    Section   11.6.2).      The   NNSC   is  very
                    knowledgeable  about   connections   to   the
                    Internet  from  other  countries  and  can be
                    helpful in suggesting contacts or strategies.

                  - The   BITNET   Network   Information   Center
                    (BITNIC)  (see  Section  11.6.4).    Although
                    BITNET access is not full Internet access, it
                    can  be used for electronic mail.  BITNET has
                    a strong sister network in Europe called EARN
                    (see Section 7.1.1.2).

                  - In  Europe,  the  RIPE  Network  Coordination
                    Center (NCC) supports the  network  providers
                    in  the  member  countries.  They may know of
                    some activity in IP networking in  your  area
                    and be able to refer you to a local contact.

                  - SRI Network Information Systems Center (NISC)
                    cooperates in  collecting  information  about
                    service  providers internationally and making
                    such   information   available.      Whatever
                    information  is known at the time of printing
                    will  always  be  included  in   the   latest
                    revision  of  this  document; however, during
                    the   interims   between    printings,    new
                    information  may  have  emerged that might be
                    helpful.


               The  following  sections  provide   information   about
               specific countries.  We are grateful to the contacts in
               these countries who have supplied this information  for
               us.    If you are a provider of Internet access in your
               country and do not see your  information  reflected  in
               the  following sections, please feel free to send it to
               us at SRI via the contact information provided  in  the
               Overview.

               This section lists those providers based  in  the  U.S.
               who  provide  access  to  the Internet internationally.
               When known, countries  to  which  they  currently  have
               connections are listed.  Some NSFNET mid-level networks
               are listed here because there is a node on  the  NSFNET
               backbone  at their sites to which an international site
               is  connected.    For  complete  information  regarding
               NSFNET's  international connections, contact the NSFNET
               Network Service Center (NNSC) (see Section  11.6.2  for
               contact information).
