            The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) is  sponsored  by  the
            National  Science Foundation (NSF).  The purpose of the NNSC
            is to collect, maintain  and  distribute  information  about
            NSFNET  and  provide  assistance  to  NSFNET end-users.  The
            objective of the NNSC project is to make general information
            and  support services available to researchers who are using
            the NSFNET (or plan to use it) so that they can be more pro-
            ductive.

            The NNSC delivers documents by electronic mail to  any  user
            with  an  e-mail connection to the Internet.  Send e-mail to
            the   automatic   Info-Server   at   the   address    "info-
            server@nnsc.nsf.net".

            If you have a full Internet connection, you can also get our
            documents   through   anonymous  file  transfer  (FTP)  from
            nnsc.nsf.net.  The NNSC strives to supply its  documents  by
            both e-mail and FTP.
