Archie: The McGill School of Computer Science Archive Server

Telnet QUICHE.CS.MCGILL.CA or 132.206.2.3

login: archie

Given the number of hosts being used as archive sites nowadays, there

can be great difficulty in finding needed software in a distributed

environment. You may know that the software that you need is out there,

but it can sometimes be difficult to find.  The School of Computer

Science at McGill University has one solution to the problem - "archie".

Archie is a pair of software tools: the first maintains a list of about

600 Internet ftp archive sites.  Each night software executes an

anonymous ftp to a subset of these sites and fetches a recursive

directory listing of each, which it stores in a database.  We hit about

1/30th of the list each time, so each site gets updated about once a

month, hopefully balancing timely updates against unnecessary network

load.  The "raw" listings are stored in compressed form on

quiche.cs.mcgill.ca (132.206.2.3), where they are made available via

anonymous ftp in the directory ~ftp/archie/listings.

The second tool is the interesting one as far as the users are

concerned. It consists of a program running on a dummy user code that

allows outsiders to log onto the archive server host to query the

database. This is in fact the program we call Archie.

Users can ask archie to search for specific name strings.  For example,

"prog kcl" would find all occurences of the string "kcl" and tell you

which hosts have entries with this string, the size of the program, its

last modification date and where it can be found on the host along with

some other useful information. In this example, you could thus find

those archive sites that are storing Kyoto Common Lisp. With one central

database for all the archive sites we know about, archie greatly speeds

the task of finding a specific program on the net.

Complete anonymous ftp listings of the various sites that we keep in the

database may be obtained via the 'site' command and for a list of the

sites which we keep track of, see the 'list' command.

Archie also maintains a 'Software Description Database' which consists

of the names and descriptions of various software packages, documents

and datasets that are kept on anonymous ftp archive sites all around the

Internet. The 'whatis' command allows you to search this database.

Send comments, bug reports etc to

                        archie-l@cs.mcgill.ca

If you have a favourite anonymous ftp site that archie doesn't seem to

maintain, or if you have additions or corrections to the Software

Description database, send mail to

                        archie-admin@cs.mcgill.ca

 your terminal type and size (via the "term" variable) and to use the

 pager (via the "pager" variable) is not necessary to use help, but

 provides a somewhat nicer interface.

 Currently, the available help topics are:

    about   - a blurb about archie

ANNOUNCING ARCHIE.AU - The AARNet Archie Server

Archie.au is The AARNet Archie Working Group's archie server. It runs

"archie", a tool to help users locate information located on anonymous

FTP sites around the world. To get started with archie, telnet to

archie.au and login with userid archie.

Archie.AU also maintains copies (shadows) of many of the most popular

anonymous ftp sites from around the world, making it unnecessary for

users within Australia to access the remotely located system, improving

response time and reducing overall network traffic.

This system, which has been funded by AARNet, will not only run the

archie database, but will also support:

        +  Prospero (a remote file system)

        +  Ftp[-]Mail Gateway

        +  Sydney Uni's Finger Daemon

        +  MHSnet access (as archie.oz)

        +  WAIS

and is shadowing the following archives:

        +  Simtel-20 PC archives                From oak.oakland.edu

        +  Garbo's PC archives                  From garbo.uwasa.fi

        +  MIT's X11 Distribution               From export.lcs.mit.edu

        +  RFC's                                From venera.isi.edu

        +  The latest GNU software              From prep.ai.mit.edu

        +  Kermit Distribution                  From watsun.cc.columbia.edu

        +  Graphics including GIFs              From wuarchive.wustl.edu

        +  Amiga                                From ab20.larc.nasa.gov

        +  The latest WAIS sources              From think.com

        +  comp.sources.unix                    From gatekeeper.dec.com

        +  comp.sources.misc                    From ftp.uu.net

Archie.AU is a dedicated machine with more than 5 Gbytes of disk space

located on the AARNet backbone in Melbourne.  Response from archie will

be better than from any site located outside Australia and better than

many within Australia. Users can retrive files using FTP, MHSnet or the

FTP[-]Gateway. Those using MHSnet to access this machine should use a

certain amount of sense when requesting lots of files. Don't flood your

downstream sites.

If you think it would be beneficial to the Australian Academic and

Research Community to have something else shadowed, or you have comments

related to the archie server, send mail to

ARCHIE USER COMMANDS

NAME

     archie - query the  Archie  anonymous  FTP  databases  using

     Prospero

SYNOPSIS

     archie [ -cers ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ -t ] [ -m hits ] [ -N level ] [ -h hostname ]

             [ -o filename ] [ -L ] [ -fB-V ] string

DESCRIPTION

     archie queries an archie anonymous FTP database looking  for

     the  specified  string  using  the  Prospero protocol.  This

     client is based on Prospero version Beta.4.2 and is provided

     to  encourage non-interactive use of the Archie servers (and

     subsequently better performance on both  sides).   This  man

     page describes version 1.3 of the client.

     The general method of use is of the form

          % archie string

     This will go to the archie server and ask it to look for all

     known  systems  that have a file named `string' in their FTP

     area.  archie will wait, and print out any matches.

     For example,

          % archie emacs

     will find all anonymous FTP sites  in  the  archie  database

     that  have  files  named  emacs somewhere in their FTP area.

     (This particular query would probably return a lot of direc-

     tories.)  If you want a list of every filename that contains

     emacs anywhere in it, you'd use

          % archie -c emacs

     Regular expressions, such as

          % archie -r '[xX][lL]isp'

     may also be used for searches.  (See the manual of a reason-

     ably good editor, like GNU Emacs or vi, for more information

     on using regular expressions.)

OPTIONS

     The options currently available to this archie client are:

     -c          Search substrings paying attention  to  upper  &

                 lower case.

     -e          Exact string match.  (This is the default.)

     -r          Search using a regular expression.

ARCHIE(1)                USER COMMANDS                  ARCHIE(1)

     -s          Search  substrings  ignoring  the  case  of  the

                 letters.

     -ofilename  If specified, place the results of the search in

                 filename.

     -a          Output results as Alex filenames.

     -l          Output results in a form suitable for parsing by

                 programs.

     -t          Sort the results inverted by date.

     -mhits      Specifies the maximum number of  hits  (matches)

                 to return (default of 95).

     -Nlevel     Sets the niceness of a query; by  default,  it's

                 set  to 0.  Without an argument, ``-N'' defaults

                 to 35765.   If  you  use  -N  with  an  argument

                 between 0 and 35765, it'll adjust itself accord-

                 ingly.  (Note: VMS users will have to put quotes

                 around  this  argument, and -L, like "-N45"; VMS

                 will otherwise convert it to lowercase.)

     -h hostname Tells the client  to  query  the  Archie  server

                 hostname.

     -L          Lists the Archie servers known  to  the  program

                 when it was compiled, as well as the name of the

                 default Archie server.  For an up-to-date  list,

                 write  to  ``archie@archie.mcgill.ca''  (or  any

                 Archie  server)  with  the  single  command   of

                 servers.

     -V          With the verbose option, archie will  make  some

                 comments  along  the way if a search is going to

                 take some time, to pacify the user.

     The three search-modifying arguments  (``-c'',  ``-r'',  and

     ``-s'')  are  all  mutually  exclusive;  only  the  last one

     counts.  If you specify -e with any of  ``-c'',  ``-r'',  or

     ``-s'', the server will first check for an exact match, then

     fall back to the case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or  regu-

     lar expression search.  This is so if there are matches that

     are particularly obvious, it will take a minimal  amount  of

     time to satisfy your request.

     If you list a single `-' by itself,  any  further  arguments

     will  be  taken  as  part  of  the  search  string.  This is

     intended to enable searching for strings that begin  with  a

     `-'; for example:

          % archie -s - -old

     will search for all filenames that contain the string `-old'

     in them.

RESPONSE

     Archie servers are set up to respond to a number of requests

     in  a  queued fashion.  That is, smaller requests get served

     much more quickly than do large requests.  As a result,  the

Archie (Prospero)  Last change: 9 January 1992                  2

ARCHIE(1)                USER COMMANDS                  ARCHIE(1)

     more  often  you query the Archie server, or the larger your

     requests, the longer the queue will become, resulting  in  a

     longer  waiting  period  for everyone's requests.  Please be

     frugal when possible, for your benefit as well  as  for  the

     other users.

QUERY PRIORITY

     Please use the  ``-N''  option  whenever  you  don't  demand

     immediacy,  or when you're requesting things that could gen-

     erate large responses.  Even when using the nice option, you

     should  still  try  to  avoid  big jobs during busy periods.

     Here is a list of what we consider to be  nice  values  that

     accurately reflect the priority of a job to the server.

          Normal              0

          Nice                500

          Nicer               1000

          Very Nice           5000

          Extremely Nice      10000

          Nicest              32765

     The last priority, Nicest, would be used when a  job  should

     wait  until  the  queue is essentially empty before running.

     You should pick one of these values to use, possibly modify-

     ing  it  slightly depending on where you think your priority

     should land.  For example, 32760 would mean wait  until  the

     queue  is  empty,  but  jump  ahead  of other jobs that have

     selected Nicest.

     There are certain types of  things  that  we  suggest  using

     Nicest  for,  irregardless.  In particular, any searches for

     which you would have a hard time justifying the use of  any-

     thing but extra resources.  (We all know what those searches

     would be for.)

ENVIRONMENT

     ARCHIE_HOST

             This will change the host archie will  consult  when

             making  queries.   (The default value is what's been

             compiled in.)  The ``-h'' option will override this.

             If  you're  running  VMS,  create  a  symbol  called

             ARCHIE_HOST.

M-Net, America's *FIRST* Public Access UNIX System

Telnet HERMES.MERIT.EDU or 35.1.48.150

At Which Host?: enter   um-m-net

MichNet login: newuser

I'd like to invite you into a VERY nice Public Access UNIX/Conferencing

System.  It's called M-Net and has been around since 1982 (soon to be

going on to our tenth year).  M-Net is an Altos 68020 running Altos'

port of UNIX Sys-III & is the HOME of PicoSpan Conferencing software.

We have over 200 Conferences to talk about anything from Travel to Sex,

Cooking to Driving, Flying to Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane,

in an almost real-time arena. There is SH, KSH, CSH, BBS & MENU shells

for every type of user. We have write/talk/xtalk/chat for those private

writes and PARTY for those who like to talk to everyone at once (much

like IRC with 5 different channels). Trust me, theres something for

everyone!

The NICE thing here is that this "Public Access UNIX System" puts the

"Public Access" back onto YOUR terminal! After running the "newuser"

program at the login: prompt, you will be given a 100% ACTIVE account

right then (not in a day or two, when we can verify you).

We are running the Maximus bulletin board software.

Our system has three main sections.  You get to the sections by

making a selection from the main menu.

         MESSAGES     ... read/enter public/private messages

         FILES        ... get/receive software and other files

         CHANGE MENU  ... change your help-level etc

In the message section, you'll notice it's divided into several "areas".

You can think of a message area as a topic.

The file section is also divided into areas.  Think of the file section

as a big library of software grouped into several areas.

MAXIMUS provides GRAPHICS if your computer supports ANSI graphics.

(Apple II does NOT support ANSI graphics.)

  If you see a lot of garbage on screen,

  Enter C for C)hange-User in the Main Menu

  Then  V for V)ideo,  T for TTY,  Q for Quit

HINT:  If you get lost in the system, try pressing "?".  The question

       mark is your way of asking for help.  We should probably say "WHEN

       you get lost" because poking around in various corners of the system

       is half the fun.

DOC (Dave's Own version of Citadel) Version 0.9b

Welcome to the Iowa Student Computer Associaton BBS.

  The system uses software called DOC - "Daves' Own Version of Citadel".

This software is a complete rewrite of Citadel/UX and contains many new

features as well.  It was written locally by David Lacey and David Nelson.

  In the file system, you can now use FTP as a download protocol, either to

a PC in one of the Instructional Technology Centers at the University of

Iowa or any account on the internet.

  University of Iowa students please note that Zmodem is the only protocol

that works through the annex terminal servers.  We suggest using Telix 3.12

on MS-DOS systems and ZTerm 0.85 on Macintosh computers.  Rlogin from the

annex works better than telnet.  Type "r isca"

  If you made any mistakes in entering your user info, you can change this

by typing [C]onfig at the main menu.

  For those who have used Citadel in the past, you will find some minor

differences in our version.  Type ? at the "room>" prompt to find out

what keys do what.  There is a help file called "differences" that shows

the major differences.  Also note that you can read all your new mail by

just pressing the space bar.

  Make yourself interesting - go into [C]onfig and enter some info about

yourself so that others will know more about you.  You have 5 lines of

space to write something creative.

  If you have any questions, you can mail me (from your personal account)

at iscacaen.uiowa.edu or [Y]ell at sysop from the main menu.

 -Doc. Dave

                                BRIDGE

Welcome to the online public access catalogue.  The PALS-based catalogue

provides access to the collections of two institutions so users should

note the system prompt to determine which institution they are

searching.

    If you are using the system for the first time, type:  HELP

    If you wish to search both libraries in the system, type:  HELP SY

    If you are using this system from outside a library, remember that to

    leave and return to the campus network, you must type:  $$SOFF

PALS INSTRUCTIONS:  Searching Other Libraries

The online public access catalogue contains bibliographic records from the

following two libraries:

          SBH  --  St. Boniface General Hospital Libraries

          UML  --  University of Manitoba Libraries

The collection sizes for each library can be displayed by typing SIZE.

By default, all of your searches will be run against one library.  However,

you may also search either "the other" library or both of them together by

using a location symbol immediately after your command name.  For example:

          AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK

          CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS

          TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY

The symbol SYS will search both the SBH and UML collections.

If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may also change the

default through the use of the SET LIB command.  For instructions on this

command, type HELP SZ.

UML=>help sz

PALS INSTRUCTIONS:  Changing The Default Library

Normally, all of your searches will be processed against one default library,

either SBH (St. Boniface General Hospital Libraries) or UML (University of

Manitoba Libraries).  You also have the option of searching either the other

library or both of them together by inserting the location symbol immediately

after your command name.  The symbol for both is SYS.  For example:

          AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK

          CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS

          TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY

If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may temporarily

change your search default with the LIB command.  For example:

          SET LIB UML

          SET LIB SBH

          SET LIB SYS

When you use the SET LIB command, your system prompt will change to reflect

the new search default.  Following a period of inactivity, the system will

return the search default for your terminal to its original setting and the

prompt will revert back to normal.

TELNET "132.151.1.1" 185

or whatever it takes for you to connect directly to a port

The "Knowbot Information Service" (KIS) is a "white pages" service that

allows you to query one service and have it search several other address

databases of various sorts for addresses matching your query.

DESCRIPTION

     netaddress is an information service that provides a uniform

     user interface to heterogeneous remote information services.

     By submitting a single query to netaddress a user can search

     a  set of remote information services and see the results of

     the search in a uniform format.

EXAMPLES

     In the following examples, `%' is the UNIX prompt and `>' is

     the netaddress prompt.

     % netaddress droms

             Searches the default list of directory  servers  for

             user ``droms''.

     % netaddress

     > service profile@nri.reston.va.us

     > droms

             Searches the profile service at NRI.RESTON.VA.US for

             user ``droms''.

     % netaddress

     > service profile@nri.reston.va.us

     > query droms

             Is identical to the previous example.

     % netaddress -s profile@nri.reston.va.us droms

             Is identical to the previous example.

     % netaddress 'service profile@nri.reston.va.us' droms

             Is identical to the previous two examples.

     % netaddress 'alison brown'

             Searches the default list for a user with first name

             ``alison'' and last name ``brown''.

                Introduction to the Directory Service

The directory service helps you to find out information about people and

the organisations they work for: in particular it can provide electronic

mail addresses, postal addresses and telephone and facsimile numbers.

Once you have provided information about a person's NAME and where they

are based, the directory service will search various local and remote

databases to try and find information about people with a name matching

the one you have given.

The directory service can, of course, only find entries for people who

work for organisations who are participating in this pilot service.  At

the time of writing (May 1991), there are over 400 participating

organisations and approximately 350,000 individual entries in the

Directory.

If you cannot find an entry for the person you are looking for, it may

be that the entry is in the Directory but that the Directory Service

does not recognise the name you have provided.  In this case, you might

like to BROWSE the Directory: you can list people within a DEPARTMENT,

DEPARTMENTs within an ORGANISATION, ORGANISATIONs within a COUNTRY, and

the list of countries with participating ORGANISATIONs.

When using the directory service, you will be prompted to type in:

SPACE for next screen; q to quit:

:- the NAME of the person whose address you are looking for

   (e.g. "Paul Barker", or "P Barker", or even just "Barker"))

:- their DEPARTMENT

   (e.g. "Computer Science")

:- the ORGANISATION they work for

   (e.g. "University College London", or "UCL")

:- the COUNTRY in which the ORGANISATION is based

   (e.g. "gb", "uk" or "Britain"  for Great Britain).

The line above the prompt (:- ) indicates what information the system is

expecting.  This line also indicates the default (what the directory

service will fill in as information if you just press the RETURN key).

On line HELP is always available: type

?      for HELP on information currently expected

??     for HELP on HELP (how to use on-line HELP)

SPACE for next screen; q to quit: ?TERM  for HELP on any topic, where

TERM is any of the words displayed in capital letters in this and any

other HELP screen

Further useful commands:

Control-C   to abandon whatever you are doing: i.e.

            abandon a current query and allow for the entry of another query;

            abandon the entry of a query and allow the re-entry of the query;

            if no current query, exit the Directory Service.

q           to quit the directory service, when given in response to a

            request for a person's name

FRED(1C)                  USER COMMANDS                  FRED(1C)

NAME

     fred - a white pages user interface (FRont-End to Dish)

SYNOPSIS

     fred [options] [command arguments ...]

     whois arguments ...  (as in "fred whois smith -org psi")

DESCRIPTION

     The fred program is a front-end to the OSI Directory, and in

     particular  the  dish (1c) program.  It is most useful as an

     interface to the white pages service.

     The fred program is meant to be similar to the WHOIS service

     familiar  to  most  users  of  the  network.  There are some

     differences however.

     First, users in the white pages are uniquely  identified  by

     their distinguished name, e.g.,

          "@c=US@o=Performance Systems International@cn=Manager"

     In contrast, users of the WHOIS service are uniquely identi-

     fied by their WHOIS handle, a brief key, e.g., "MTR".  Since

     distinguished names are much longer than WHOIS handles, fred

     maintains  a  list of aliases during its execution.  When an

     entry for something is retrieved, it is assigned  a  numeric

     alias for its name.

     Second, searches in the  white  pages  are  relative  to  an

     "area".   The default area is set by your system administra-

     tor.  It can be changed using the area command.  Because the

     white  pages  are  distributed, searches occurring at higher

     areas are  more  expensive  in  terms  of  time,  networking

     resources, etc.

     Third, the white pages are highly structured.  As such,  you

     can  potentially  retrieve  much  more  detailed information

     about an entry.  Although the fred should prove  useful  for

     the  majority  of queries, it is purposefully limited in its

     searching capabilities.   Users  desiring  a  more  powerful

     interface, should use dish (1c) directly.

EXAMPLES

     The command syntax, while meant to be intuitive, is tedious.

     Here are a few simple examples:

     whois "smith"

          looks for any entries with this  name  in  the  default

          area  (choice  of  matching  on  the entry's surname or

          fullname is based on  the  value  of  the  `namesearch'

          variable).

Netfind: University of Colorado

TELNET BRUNO.CS.COLORADO.EDU or 128.138.243.151

login: netfind

Welcome to the University of Colorado Netfind server.

Given the name of a person on the Internet and a rough description of where

the person works, Netfind attempts to locate information about the person.

When prompted, enter a name followed by a set of keywords, such as

        schwartz university colorado boulder

The name argument specifies the person being sought by first name, last

name, or login name.  The keys describe where the person works.  They can

consist of any combination of strings describing the name of the

institution, the city/state/country, or the type of institution (e.g.,

"edu", "com", "mil", etc.)  If you know the institution's domain name

(e.g., "cs.colorado.edu") you can specify it as keys, without the dots

(e.g., "cs colorado edu").  The first components of host names (e.g.,

"brazil" in "brazil.cs.colorado.edu") cannot be used as keys.  Keys are

case insensitive and may be specified in any order.  Using more than one

key implies the logical AND of the keys.  Because of this, specifying too

many keys may cause searches to fail.  If this happens, try specifying

fewer keys, e.g.,

        schwartz boulder

If you specify keys that match a large number of domains, Netfind will

list some of the matching domains and ask you to form a more specific

query.  Note that you can use any of the words in the organization

strings (in addition to the domain components) in forming such queries.

When Netfind runs, it displays a trace of the parallel search progress,

lessalong with the results of the searches.  Since output can scroll by

quickly, you might want to run it in a window system, or pipe the output

through tee(1):

        rlogin [this server name] -l netfind |& tee log

A number of options exist for the client version of Netfind, which cannot

be invoked via the telnet/rlogin server interface.  If you would like to

install Netfind locally (which will allow you too run it as a client

without the telnet/rlogin interface), you can get it by anonymous FTP from

ftp.cs.colorado.edu, in pub/cs/distribs/netfind.  More complete

documentation is also available in that package.

This tool allows users (with appropriate access control) to add new

organsiations into the Directory and then to add, modify or delete

entries.  It is seen as an ideal way to help SMEs (small to medium size

enterprises) actively participate in the pilot, as well as a tool to

allow users in large organisations to have limited access to their own

entries.

What is X.500?

X.500 is an Open Systems standard for worldwide electronic mail

directory services.

The X.500 service at Aston has been named "Quipu". This is simply a

database of people's electronic mail addresses, full names, telephone

numbers and department. Quipu is wide ranging, in that it can connect

you to X.500 directories around the world to enable you to find a

person's electronic mail address.

ALT-H will give you help

There are 3 main items that you need to consider:

1) the location or search area which relates to countries or is

world-wide

2) the type you are searching for ie is it a place, department or person

3) the name of the place, department or person

Look at the search area. If it is set to world-wide, then in the search

box (below and to the right) you need to enter GB if you want a site in

the UK. If it is set to GB and you want a world-wide search, there is a

widen search option (press w).

Once you have found the correct country, you can look for the options.

If you want an organisation eg Aston, set the type to organisation and

then enter Aston in the search box.

Once at Aston, enter the person's surname or part of the surname you

require.

A list of matching surname will be shown. Enter the number of the person

you require if there is more than one match.

Other main keys in Quipu are ] and [ which are used to scroll through a

list of names.

ALT-U will clear the search line ready for you to enter another search

ALT-X  will exit Quipu

To do a search, just type the name of the person or organisation

that you are looking for. Use commas to separate parts of the address,

which is just like a postal address.

For example:

        w prinz, gmd, germany

TELNET SUN.NSF.AC.UK or 128.86.8.7

login: janet

hostname: uk.ac.kcl.dir

You are connected to the King's directory service. This interface

currently only allows you to query the King's database by person's name.

Enter the person's name (or "?" for help, "q" to quit): ?

You will be prompted for the surname of the person you are looking for.

No department need be specified, as all departments within King's are

searched.

You do not have to enter complete names: for example, entering the string

"Smith" would also find entries for "Greensmith", "Smithy" and so on.

Upper/lower case is not significant in searches.

Of course the less information you provide, the more names will be matched

by your query. If the person whose telephone number you are seeking has a

relatively common name, the directory may well return more names than you

can easily sift through and the message

        "there are too many results to print"

will appear.

Enter department ("Return" to search all depts, * to list depts):

Enter site ("Return" for UCL, * to list all sites):

This interface currently only allows you to query within the UK.

An alternative style of querying the directory is provided by the

'advanced' interface.  This is screen based and so needs to know the

type of terminal you are using. This interface allows you to look for

entries outside of the UK.

THE ELECTRONIC BIBLE

Available on the Cleveland FREE-NET

   Welcome to the ELECTRONIC BIBLE.

   Contained in this area is the complete text of the King James version of

the Christian Bible.  It is divided into Old and New Testament sections and

can be read and/or searched a chapter at a time by selecting from the

appropriate menu or, in the case of the New Testament, can be searched in

its entirety.

   The search routines are fairly crude and quite slow, so we hope you will

have patience with the process.  More details on searching can be found in

the instruction file in the New Testament area.  The limitations on our

search routines are such that we can only provide this service on the (much

smaller) New Testament.  We hope to be developing faster and more powerful

search capabilities in the near future which will allow us to include the

Old Testament as well.

   The King James version was selected, quite frankly, because it was the

only version we could find that was not copyrighted. We hope at some point

in the future to be able to offer the Revised Standard as well as other

versions.

   This feature and the Biblical Help files was a joint project of the

All-Denominational Forum on the Cleveland Free-Net, and the staff of the

National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN). It is being made available to

this system via NPTN Cybercasting Services.

The Federalist Papers

              This is the Project Gutenberg 1.1 release of

                         The Federalist Papers

Available for browsing and searching on the Internet Gopher

Due to an error in file transfer the 1.0 version was decapitated of all

but the first section of the five sections we received in which the

following information was contained in various mark-up formats and

various footnoting conventions.  You may note in the middle portion that

the footnotes are different, and indentation is practically

non-existent.  We hope to have this fixed in only a week or so, as we

are requesting new copies from which to work and we are also requesting

a scholarly review of this file, from Tom Horton (one of the requestors

of the file. . .Tom. . .help-- are you out there).  So, please bear in

mind that while editions from Project Gutenberg are not supposed to be

authoritative, our expectations are to provide you with documents that

are at least internally consistent.  Therefore, the next release or two

would be in hopes of clearing this up immediately.

My personal apologies to those who require them.  I have edited, and

edited, but find myself at the point of diminshing returns.

Hopefully at that is in error is that I received an inconsistent

collection of file portions and the correct file(s) will be sent

shortly.  Otherwise I have to rely on Federalist scholars to see what I

cannot see in the middle fifth of this file, and correct, send to me,

and advise on the preparation of later version.

As mentioned in the August 31 newsletter, we have several files, each of

various editions of The Federalist Papers, but this one, such as it is,

was okayed for release.  The others are still in, shall we say, a state

of limbo.

Hacker's Dictionary

Available for browsing and searching on the Internet Gopher

This document is a collection of slang terms used by various subcultures

of computer hackers.  Though some technical material is included for

background and flavor, it is not a technical dictionary; what we

describe here is the language hackers use among themselves for fun,

social communication, and technical debate.

The `hacker culture' is actually a loosely networked collection of

subcultures that is nevertheless conscious of some important shared

experiences, shared roots, and shared values.  It has its own myths,

heroes, villains, folk epics, in-jokes, taboos, and dreams.  Because

hackers as a group are particularly creative people who define

themselves partly by rejection of `normal' values and working habits, it

has unusually rich and conscious traditions for an intentional culture

less than 35 years old.

Song of Hiawatha

                                   by

                               Longfellow

Available for browsing and searching on the Internet Gopher

    The Song of Hiawatha is based on the legends and stories of many

North American Indian tribes, but especially those of the Ojibway

Indians of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. They were

collected by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, the reknowned historian, pioneer

explorer, and geologist.  He was superintendent of Indian affairs for

Michigan from 1836 to 1841.

    Schoolcraft married Jane, O-bah-bahm-wawa-ge-zhe-go-qua (The Woman

of the Sound Which the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky), Johnston.

Jane was a daughter of John Johnston, an early Irish fur trader, and

O-shau-gus-coday-way-qua (The Woman of the Green Prairie), who was a

daughter of Waub-o-jeeg (The White Fisher), who was Chief of the Ojibway

tribe at La Pointe, Wisconsin.

    Jane and her mother are credited with having researched,

authenticated, and compiled much of the material Schoolcraft included in

his Algic Researches (1839) and a revision published in 1856 as The Myth

of Hiawatha.  It was this latter revision that Longfellow used as the

basis for The Song of Hiawatha.

    Longfellow began Hiawatha on June 25, 1854, he completed it on March

29, 1855, and it was published November 10, 1855.  As soon as the poem

was  published its popularity was assured. However, it also was severely

criticized as a plagiary of the Finnish epic poem Kalevala.  Longfellow

made no secret of the fact that he had used the meter of the Kalevala;

but as for the legends, he openly gave credit to Schoolcraft in his

notes to the poem.

    I would add a personal note here.  My father's roots include Ojibway

Indians: his mother, Margaret Caroline Davenport, was a daughter of

Susan des Carreaux, O-gee-em-a-qua (The Chief Woman), Davenport whose

mother was a daughter of Chief Waub-o-jeeg. Finally, my mother used to

rock me to sleep reading portions of Hiawatha to me, especially:

            "Wah-wah-taysee, little fire-fly,

            Little, flitting, white-fire insect

            Little, dancing, white-fire creature,

            Light me with your little candle,

            Ere upon my bed I lay me,

            Ere in sleep I close my eyelids!"

The WELL is a computer teleconferencing system running on a SEQUENT B8

computer located in Sausalito, California.

The WELL offers users access to approximately 200 WELL conferences, to

the UNIX operating system, to USENET and to UUCP mail.

The basic cost of the WELL is a $10/month service charge plus a

$2.00/hour usage fee.  Your first 5 hours of usage @ $2.00/hour are

free, so you can get to know the system, though you may want to wait

until you get the manual to make the best use of this time.

In the following registration program, type the information requested at

each  :   prompt.  Then type a carriage return.

If you make a mistake while registering and want to change your entry,

just use the backspace key or [control-h] to delete it.  Retype the

correct entry.

                       * * * TERMINAL EMULATION  * * *

There are some programs that work better on the WELL if we know what

kind of terminal you can "emulate."  The most common emulation is vt100

- but other types include   ansi   or    adm3a.  If you don't know

what's appropriate, just press [return], the system will default to

"dumb"...  (Which refers to the terminal, NOT the user!) All accounts

must have the name of an individual associated with them even if this is

a corporate account.  This name is not a login ID. The WELL does not

accept anonymous accounts except by special arrangement.

Express Access provides Internet Mail, Usenet Newsgroups and Internet

connectivity.  Internet services include Telnet, FTP and IRC.

Express Access can be reached via local phone call from the

Washington/Baltimore area, and nationally via the Internet, or through

use of the Sprint PC-Pursuit service.

The Internet Community has two main tools for the sharing of

information: Electronic Mail and Newsgroups.  With Express Access, you

have unlimited use of both.  Express Access offers all of the newsgroups

without regard to content; our corporate policy is to provide the

highest levels of privacy and integrity possible.

Internet services are used to interact with other computers and users on

the worldwide Internet.  The Telnet facility allows a user to connect to

other computers all over the world and log into them. FTP allows files

to be transferred to and from those systems on the Internet, including

many gigabytes of publically accessible files. Services such as Archie

will allow you to describe what you are looking for, and then they will

search the worldwide network to find it for you.  IRC (Internet Relay

Chat) allows real-time chatting between Express Access users and users

logged into other systems all over the world.

Express Access is connected to both Washington and Baltimore area phone

lines, so that it is a local call from the Metro Baltimore and Metro

Washington areas, and most anything in between.  If you're not sure if

we're a local call from your area, contact us. V.32bis/V.42bis

connections are now supported to both Washington and Baltimore.

The bottom line - Express Access costs $15 per month for a Mail and News

only account, or $25 per month with full Internet privileges. That gets

you one hour per day of "prime-time" system access (from 3 pm to 3 am

Eastern time each day) and unlimited system access at all other times.

Each account includes unlimited mail and news posting, 2 megabytes of

file space, and shell access on a Sun Microsystems server.

More detailed information is available by logging into our system as

"new" on your local modem number: 301-220-0462 in the Washington area,

410-766-1855 in the Baltimore area, or by telnetting to digex.com

[192.55.213.2].  Select "Instant Account Application" from the menu.

Those wishing to pay by credit card may have an account set up within

24 hours. American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Diners and Carte Blanche

are accepted.

Express Access can also be accessed from most major metro areas in the

United States, via PC-Pursuit.  For more information on PC-Pursuit,

contact US-Sprint at 800-736-1130.

WHAT IS ECONET?

EcoNet is an international, computer-based communication system

committed to serving organizations and individuals who are working for

environmental preservation and sustainability.

Most importantly, EcoNet is a community of persons using the network for

information sharing and collaboration with the intent of enhancing the

effectiveness of all environmentally-oriented programs.

ACCESS VITAL INFORMATION RESOURCES

EcoNet resources include such data as reports on the 1992 United Nations

Conference on Environment and Development in Brazil; the Environmental

Grantmakers Association's directory of grantmakers; the Sierra Club

National News Report; the National Wildlife Federation's Conservation

Directory; Global Action Network's federal legislative information;

action alerts; and newsletters from around the world.

We have made international access even more affordable by establishing

partnership relationships with like-minded networks in Canada, England,

Sweden, Australia, Nicaragua, Brazil and Russia. These connections also

allow our users to be in constant communication with a wide range of

internationally active organizations and individuals.

Electronic "gateways" allow EcoNet users to send telex and fax messages

nearly anywhere in the world, and electronic mail to users on many other

electronic systems and most international electronic mail networks.

PUBLIC ELECTRONIC CONFERENCES

Interactive public conferences on EcoNet let users read and participate

in discussions on a wide range of environmental issues. Among many

others, these include global warming, rainforests, legislative

activities, water quality, energy policy, toxics, and environmental

education.

PRIVATE ELECTRONIC CONFERENCES

Users may set up private conferences -- accessible to a specified group

of users -- to prepare a joint paper, to conduct organizational business

or to plan action or educational campaigns.

HOW TO JOIN

EcoNet is run by the non-profit Institute for Global Communications with

the goal of providing affordable computer communication for the

international environmental community.  Its services are user-supported

by monthly subscriptions and connect- time charges.

Internet connect rates are a flat $3.00/hr.  Dialup rates vary depending

on the time of connect.

The World is a service provider for Internet services.  Among the myriad

available services are electronic mail, USENET, file software archives,

telnet, ftp, IRC, library catalogs, and much more. As the first provider

of public access Internet services, World is committed to providing cost

effective, reliable network services for dialup customers of the

Internet community.

                                RATES

The World offers two billing rates which are the same 24 hours per day

at all connection speeds.  The Basic Rate plan is a $5 monthly account

fee plus a $2 per hour usage fee.  Basic Rate accounts include a .5MB

disk quota.  The 20/20 Plan is a bulk usage rate where $20 paid in

advance buys 20 hours of online time during a one month period.  This

includes the monthly account fee and offers an increased disk quota of

2MB.  20/20 Plan accounts used for more than 20 hours during one month

are billed at an hourly rate of $1 per hour.

The World offers payment options via MasterCard or Visa, postal invoice,

or email invoice.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept postal or email

billing requests from outside the United States.  Additional discounts

are available for members of the Boston Computer Society and for

corporate customers.  Send email to "info@world.std.com" for details.

                           SIGNUP PROCEDURE

To sign up for public access, dial 617-739-WRLD.  At The World's login

prompt, use the login "new" to begin the account request program.  You

will be asked a few questions necessary to create your account.  The

World will allow you to select your login name which will become your

email address.  Most people select their name, their initials, or a

combination of both. Your initial password will be provided by the

account creation software.  All customers must contact our office for

account activation after making the account request.  Accounts are

eligible for a one hour trial period (see below).

                          THE WORLD'S STAFF

The World is managed by a staff of professionals, all of whom have UNIX

and international networking experience.  We are committed to providing

you reliable, cost effective network access.  Our full time job is the

support of The World and its software in order that you, our customer,

can exploit the power of today's electronic community.

                            ONE HOUR TRIAL

Any person may request an account and spend one hour on the system with

no charges being incurred.  This provides an opportunity to investigate

The World and its resources.  Simply complete the account request

procedure and take a sixty minute tour on us.

This service offers a full UNIX account with interactive Internet access

including email, telnet, ftp, usenet, live teleconference, and access to

the CNS BBS system. If you don't know what all that means, worry not! We

have developed a menu that will make some of these features easy to use.

Like all good things, the CNSLink service is not free. There is a $35

setup fee for creating the UNIX account. There is also a $1.00 per hour

connect fee which is charged on the credit card of your choice at the

end of each month. A minimum of $10 per month is charged.

After you sign up, you will be getting two copies of a billing contract

in the mail along with a self addresses envelop. You will be asked to

sign one, and return it to CNS.


Anomaly: Rhode Island's Gateway to the Internet

Welcome to Anomaly's Online New User Information/Registration System

Anomaly is an menu-based Internet gateway operated by the Rhode Island

Internet Systems Cooperative Network, servicing the needs of educators

and educational  organizations which do not have Internet access.

Anomaly is a subscription service. The funds received from subscriptions

help offset the cost of local hardware operation and the cost of the

56kbps leased line network connection to Boston.

Subscription services are obtained by filling out the on-line

registration form and mailing payment or a purchase order from a rated

institution to Anomaly's address.

Some of the additional benefits subscribers receive are as follows:

        * Downloading files from our local SCO archives

        * Access to the Anomaly Arcade (Games)

        * Read/Post access to USENET News

        * Internet Domain-based Mail

        * Interactive FTP

        * Remote system login via RLOGIN/TELNET

        * Internet Relay Chat - Real Time International CB Chat Simulator

        * Plus everything else on the Internet! (MUDs, etc.)

Users can subscribe for either 6 months ($125) or 12 months ($200). Yes,

it seems like a lot of money, but really its only about $15/month!

Users receive 60 minutes of online time per day. Those users who require

more time can purchase "blocks" of time - each block of time is 30

minutes, and costs $10/block/year. A maximum of seven (7) additional

blocks can be purchased for a total of 270 minutes of online time per

day.

Further information about Anomaly's services and subscription fees can

be obtained by contacting:

Tristate Online is an affiliate of the National Public Telecomputing

Network.

Cincinnati Bell Directory would like to take this opportunity to introduce

you to the new Tristate Online.  The look and feel is basically the same,

but there are some obvious improvements that you will notice immediately.

Other than the dramatic speed increase, the functionality is greatly

enhanced as well.

For online documentation and help, choose Option #12 from the top menu

(TSO's New Software).  Please address comments and concerns regarding the

new software in one of the boards in this area.

Lastly, we recommend that you read the "What's New On Tristate Online"

housed in the Administration Center for some brief but important messages.

Thank you and enjoy the new TriState Online!

===============================================================================

      Okay, I'm back.  People have asked me to continue this list but  I  just

 don't  have the time and I think the new age of information tools like archie

 fit the need much better than this list does.  I plan on stopping by the  end

 of  this  year  (Dec. 1991) so if there are any changes to be made be sure to

 mail me before then.  Of course, anyone  who  wants  to  can  take  over  the

 maintenance  of  this  list.  However, I feel that if that time were put into

 creating and working with current tools like archie,  it  would  be  for  the

 best.

      So what is archie?  archie is a neat interactive database  of  anonymous

 ftp  sites available via telnet and mail.  There is a file called "archie" on

 pilot that is also available via the mail server. Take a look at that if  you

 want to know more about archie.

      If you have any questions, comments, or anything else feel free to  mail

 me, but please read the rest of this header first!

      This is my list of Internet sites accepting anonymous ftp.  It  is  dis-

 tributed automatically once each month.

      If you are sending this on to someone or in any other way providing this

 for  someone  else,  please  leave  this header intact.  Otherwise I get many

 questions which this would have answered.  Feel free to make this list avail-

 able anywhere you like, as we all benefit from a freer flow of information.

      This list is posted to comp.misc, and comp.sources.wanted, on Usenet and

 is  distributed via anonymous FTP from pilot.njin.net (128.6.7.38) as well as

 being available from several other FTP sites (see list).  I am also running a

 simple  mail-server from my account on pilot.  For more information about the

 server, mail odin@pilot.njin.net with a subject of "listserv-request"  and  a

 message  body  of  "send  help".  Please make sure that you spell the subject

 correctly or it bounces to my personal mail box.  Rather than requesting  the

 latest list from me by mail, simply send the request to the listserv.  If you

 send me a request for the latest list, I will send you the help file for  the

 listserv.

      Special thanks goes to Edward Vielmetti for all the work he does posting

 new archive information to comp.archives, to David Katinsky, who allows me to

 work on this list from pilot, and to the guys working on all those nifty  new

 tools so that I don't have to do this anymore.

      If there are any corrections/updates/etc to be made please  mail  me  at

 odin@pilot.njin.net.   That  also  goes  for descriptions of the archives.  I

 don't have time to personally check each and every site so if you use a  site

 regularly  and can put together a better description, please tell me so I can

 update this list.  This is especially true for sites described  as  "unknown"

 or  with vague descriptions.  Also, if you are providing updates, it is easi-

 est on me if you either state "add/remove <whatever>"  or  simply  supply  me

 with  a complete new description of the site.  This makes it easier for me to

 make the changes without any errors, especially in the case of archives being

 moved to different sites.

      The last line for each site contains the date of last modification,  and

 the  login  and  password in the form <login>/<password>.  For the sites that

 have "odin@pilot.njin.net" for the password, substitute your own mail address

 (user@host.domain).   It  is  suggested that you use your mail address as the

 password wherever possible, even if it  isn't  required  to  let  sites  keep

 better track of who is using their site.

      For those unfortunates who do not have ftp but do  have  mail,  I  can't

 help  you.   bitftp  from  Princeton is no longer working and I have not been

 able to locate another mail ftp site.

      Thanks,

         Jon Granrose

 REMINDER: Anonymous FTP is a privilege, not a right.  The site administrators

 for the sites listed below have made their systems available out of the good-

 ness  of  their hearts.  Please respect their wishes and restrict your FTPing

 to non-prime hours (1900 - 0600 hours local time  for  the  site).   This  is

 especially true for sites not in your country.  Please keep that in mind when

 you are FTPing.  None of us want to see sites start to close down  because  a

 few are being inconsiderate.

The MLK Bibliography lists approximately 2700 bibliographic citations to

works by or about Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights

movement. This Bibliography was compiled by staff of the Martin Luther

King, Jr., Papers Project, as a first step in preparing to publish

King's works.  It is intended to help both the student and the scholar

traverse the rich and varied terrain of primary and secondary

historical, sociological, and journalistic sources on King and the Black

freedom struggle.  (For more information on the Project, type HELP MLK

PAPERS PROJECT.)

A printed version of this Bibliography, called "A Guide to Research on

Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Black Freedom Struggle", is available

in Green Library.  Though the Guide is not comprehensive, it surveys a

selection of the most important contemporary and scholarly resources on

King and the struggle.

Project staff are still verifying the citations in the Bibliography, so

you may encounter some errors.  Please use the SUGGEST command to send

U.S. SUPREME COURT ONLINE DISSEMINATION OF OPINIONS

Available on the Cleveland FREE-NET

Type go hermes   at the Your choice prompt

On May 11th, 1990 the United States Supreme Court announced that it was

beginning a two-year experimental program called "Project Hermes." The

objective of this project is to rapidly provide copies of the Court's

opinions in electronic form to as wide an audience as possible.

Twenty organizations applied to be a part of this project, 12 were

accepted; and one of the successful applicants was a noncommercial,

nonprofit, consortium composed of Case Western Reserve University

(CWRU), EDUCOM, and the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN).

What this means for YOU is that you will now be able to receive

electronically the full text of the Court's opinions within minutes of

their release--FREE.

   It will work like this...

When the Court decides to release an opinion or set of opinions, a

computer at the Supreme Court Building will open-up 12 telephone lines

and simultaneously send copies to its primary distributors.  In our

case, it will be received by a CWRU computer here in Cleveland where a

special program will clear out the various printer codes from the

document.  Two things will then occur.  First, a copy of each of the

"clean" documents will be sent electronically to the EDUCOM offices in

Washington D.C. EDUCOM will then place the files on both the Internet

and BITNET networks for distribution to the academic and research

community. Second, and at the same time, copies will be distributed

across all NPTN affiliated community computer systems.

You may have the Court's opinions sent directly to you if you have

access to either a BITNET or Internet computer (many, if not most, major

universities are connected to one service or the other); or you may

download the files directly from any NPTN community computer system.

There is no charge to receive this service beyond whatever fees your

university computing center might have, or the cost of a telephone call

to an NPTN affiliate.

This NPTN service is brought to you in part by a grant from the law firm

of PORTER, WRIGHT, MORRIS & ARTHUR, with offices in Cleveland, OH;

Columbus, OH; Cincinnati, OH; Dayton, OH; Naples, FL; and Washington

D.C.

To receive more information on how to sign-up for the BITNET/Internet

service, or if you would like to know more about accessing these files

on an NPTN community computer, please send your name, organization or

firm, address, city, state, and zip, to:  PROJECT HERMES, CWRU COMMUNITY

TELECOMPUTING LAB, 319 WICKENDEN BUILDING, CLEVELAND, OHIO 44106.

Public Telecomputing Network, please contact: Tom Grundner at the above

SCOR  or  Software  &  Courseware  On-line  Reviews  is  a  database of

information  about software and courseware and reviews of the same.  It

incorporates  the Schools Computing On-line Resources database which is

a  database of information about all aspects of the use of computers in

schools.  The database includes information about all types of software

including  application,  educational  and  system  software, curriculum

materials  and  professional development for teachers.  The database of

educational  software is built on the catalogue of software held at the

WA  Non-Government  Schools  Computing  Centre  and  currently includes

mainly  software  for  the  Apple  II, BBC and Microbee microcomputers.

Information  about  software for other microcomputers is in the process

of being added.

A  number  of pages have been included as examples of information about

hardware,  professional  development  and  curriculum  materials in the

field of schools computing.

The   database  was  initially  developed  by  the  Western  Australian

Educational Computing Consortium at the Curtin University of Technology

(formerly  the Western Australian Institute of Technology) as part of a

project  funded  by  the  Commonwealth Curriculum Development Centre to

examine   the   feasibility   of   establishing   a  national  software

clearinghouse.  The database has been considerably expanded and updated

since then.

RAPID - the ESRC's Research Activity and Publications Information

Database - plays a key role in the Council's task of demonstrating the

contribution its funds and activities make to scholarship and to an

understanding of the economic and social world at large. The database is

managed at the University of Edinburgh on one of its mainframe

computers, and holds information on research partly or wholly funded by

the ESRC and on the various outcomes of this funded activity.

RAPID combines information previously issued through the publications

"ESRC Research Supported" and the "ESRC Newsletter"; it contains details

of ESRC awards current at April 1985 or made since 1986, along with

references to several thousands of publications arising from those

awards. Entry into RAPID of information on research awards made since

1988 is scheduled for Summer 1992. Thereafter the information on awards

will be updated approximately every three months. Inevitably there is a

lag between the start of a research award and the publication of

results. Similarly, there will be some delay between the date of

publication and the entry of the bibliographic description in RAPID.

Welcome to the IAMSLIC/CYAMUS Union List of Serials

This is a test file of serials holdings from several institutions, some

of whose records were downloaded from the Melvyl Library System without

explicit permission for their inclusion, so please treat this only as a

sample, not as an authoritative listing.

As of June 1, 1992, the test database contains about 15,700 records from

the following institutions:

  Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California

  California Academy of Sciences (CAS)

  California State University campuses (CSU)

  DSIR Marine and Freshwater, New Zealand

  Guin Library, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University

  Stanford University -- Falconer Biology and Hopkins Marine Lab

  University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)

  University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC)

  University of Hawaii

  University of Oregon, Ocean and Coastal Law Center Library

  University of Southern California (USC)

  University of Washington, Fisheries/Oceanography Library (UW)

  University of Washington, Friday Harbor Library

The search interface runs on a software package called PixTex and is

very uneven in its ease of use.  Before you can search a file, you first

must select an "index" that includes the union list database.  The

default search protocols use fuzzy matching rather than normal indexing

to retrieve records, which means that many of your usual boolean search

habits may not apply.

Please send comments and feedback regarding this test version to either:

  watkins@ucsce.ucsc.edu  (Steve Watkins, UC Santa Cruz) or

  wible@krypton.stanford.edu  (Joe Wible, Stanford University)

We are particularly interested in hearing from you whether this format

and interface are acceptable as a means of distributing access to

unedited holdings information from a variety of libraries.

POLYDOS.UNI-KONSTANZ.DE is the machine of Univ. Konstanz' library,

running KOALA, a proprietary online cataloging/database software.

KOALA may be used to scan the library's inventory of about 1.4 million

volumes (no journals yet) for a given volume, using (combinations of)

about a dozen different search criteria, such as ISBN, ISSN, authors'

names, title etc.

The user interface is TTY-like and KEPT ENTIRELY IN GERMAN. It features

an online help system, and a rudimentary message handling facility to

contact the database managers.

There are a few technical limitations to using KOALA: - the machine is

quite slow (and suffers from overload) - the number of KOALA sessions

running in parallel is limited (currently to 9)

GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR INTERNET RESOURCES

Anonymous FTP (File Transfer Protocol) -- The procedure of connecting to

a remote computer, as an anonymous or guest user, in order to transfer

public files back to your local computer.  (See also:  FTP and

Protocols)

BITNET -- A cooperative computer network interconnecting over 2,300

academic and research institutions in 32 countries.  Originally based on

IBM's RSCS networking protocol, BITNET supports mail, mailing lists, and

file transfer.  Now merging with CSNET and running the RSCS protocol

over TCP/IP protocol (BITNET II), the network will be called Computer

Research and Education Network (CREN).

Client-Server Interface -- A program that provides an interface to

remote programs (called clients), most commonly across a network, in

order to provide these clients with access to some service such as

databases, printing, etc.  In general, the clients act on behalf of a

human end-user (perhaps indirectly).

CREN -- Computer Research and Education Network is the new name for the

merged computer networks, BITNET and Computer Science Network (CSNET).

It supports electronic mail and file transfer.

Domain Name System (DNS) -- The Internet naming scheme which consists of

a hierarchical sequence of names, from the most specific to the most

general (left to right), separated by dots, for example nic.ddn.mil.

(See also: IP address)

Downloading -- The electronic transfer of information from one computer

to another, generally from a larger computer to a smaller one, such as a

microcomputer.

Electronic Bulletin Board -- A shared file where users can enter

information for other users to read or download.  Many bulletin boards

are set up according to general topics and are accessable throughout a

network.

FTP -- File Transfer Protocol allows a user to transfer files

electronically from remote computers back to the user's computer. Part

of the TCP/IP/TELNET software suite.

Gateway -- Used in different senses (e.g., Mail Gateway, IP Gateway),

but most generally, a computer that forwards and routes data between two

or more networks of any size.

Host Computer -- In the context of networks, a computer that directly

provides service to a user.  In contrast to a network server, which

provides services to a user through an intermediary host computer.

Internet -- The series of interconnected networks that includes local

area, regional, and national backbone networks.  Networks in the

Internet use the same telecommunications protocol (TCP/IP) and provide

electronic mail, remote login, and file transfer services.

IP (Internet protocol) -- The Internet standard protocol that provides a

common layer over dissimilar networks, used to move packets among host

computers and through gateways if necessary.

IP Address -- The numeric address of a computer connected to the

Internet; also called Internet address.

Listserv Lists (or listservers) -- Electronic discussion of technical

and nontechnical issues conducted by electronic mail over BITNET using

LISTSERV protocols.  Similar lists, often using the UNIX readnews or rn

facilty, are available exclusively on the Internet.  Internet users may

subscribe to BITNET listservers.  Participants subscribe via a central

service, and lists often have a moderator who manages the information

flow and content.

NIC (Network Information Center) -- A NIC provides administrative

support, user support, and information services for a network.

NREN -- The National Research and Education Network is a proposed

national computer network to be built upon the foundation of the NSF

backbone network, NSFnet.  NREN would provide high speed interconnection

between other national and regional networks.  SB 1067 is the

legislative bill proposing NREN.

OPAC -- Online Public Access Catalog, a term used to describe any type

of computerized library catalog.

OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) -- This is the evolving international

standard under development at ISO (International Standards Organization)

for the interconnection of cooperative computer systems.  An open system

is one that conforms to OSI standards in its communications with other

systems.

Protocol -- A mutually determined set of formats and procedures

governing the exchange of information between systems.

Remote Access -- The ability to access a computer from outside a

building in which it is housed, or outside the library.  Remote access

requires communications hardware, software, and actual physical links,

although this can be as simple as common carrier (telephone) lines or as

complex as Telnet login to another computer across the Internet.

Shareware -- Microcomputer software, distributed through public domain

channels, for which the author expects to receive compensation.

TCP/IP -- Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a combined

set of protocols that performs the transfer of data between two

computers.  TCP monitors and ensures correct transfer of data.  IP

receives the data from TCP, breaks it up into packets, and ships it off

to a network within the Internet.  TCP/IP is also used as a name for a

protocol suite that incorporates these functions and others.

TELNET -- A portion of the TCP/IP suite of software protocols that

handles terminals.  Among other functions, it allows a user to log in to

a remote computer from the user's local computer.

Terminal Emulation -- Most communications software packages will permit

your personal computer or workstation to communicate with another

computer or network as if it were a specific type of terminal directly

connected to that computer or network.

Terminal Server -- A machine that connects terminals to a network by

providing host TELNET service.

TN3270 -- A version of TELNET providing IBM full-screen support.

Z39.50 Protocol -- Name of the national standard developed by the

National Information Standards Organization (NISO) that defines an

applications level protocol by which one computer can query another

computer and transfer result records, using a canonical format.  This

protocol provides the framework for OPAC users to search remote catalogs

on the Internet using the commands of their own local systems.  Projects

are now in development to provide Z39.50 support for catalogs on the

Internet.  SR (Search and Retrieval), ISO Draft International Standard

10162/10163 is the international version of Z39.50.

This information system is a joint project of the ANU Library and the

Computer Services Centre. It is an prototype installation, and therefore

subject to rapid change.

It is based on 'Gopher' software developed in the public domain by the

University of Minnesota and now used by over 70 institutions to deliver

their electronic information services. The top level of this server runs

on info.anu.edu.au in the Library but it links to many hundreds of other

servers across the network.

This server can be accessed via client software on Macintosh, PC,

X-Windows and Unix machines.

A cut down version of the Unix client can be accessed via telnet to

info.anu.edu.au and login to 'info'. No password is needed for this

service. For help with available commands, type a question mark (?).  On

some terminals, you may need to use the CTRL-N and CTRL-P keys to move

the cursor, instead of the arrow keys.

The hierarchy of menus you see provides access to information and

network services at ANU, Elsewhere in Australia and Overseas.

The services offered include

ANU Campus Administrative Information

       Welcome to the University of Maryland Information Service

        The Information Revolution is here!  There is a great deal of

electronic information out there on nearly every topic under the sun

that, until now, was inaccessible to the general public.  From medical

breakthroughs to the current weather conditions, forecasts, and weather

satellite pictures to USA Today articles, the resources are nearly

infinite. Now they are easily accessible to anyone with a PC, Macintosh,

Unix, or NeXT machine and access to the Internet network via WAIS,

Gopher, Archie, Hytelnet and World Wide Web.

    As you explore this service, you will be experiencing first-hand the

beginning phases of the "information revolution".  The UofM Information

Service is your connection to computing sites around the country and

indeed around the world.

    This system provides "gateways" via Gopher to such information

retrieval services as WAIS, INFO, Hytelnet, Archie, and WWW as well as a

number of other information services.  Each of these systems operate

quite differently so please view the "About..." items listed in this

directory, for further information on Gopher, WAIS, Hytelnet, Archie,

and WWW.

    Clearly, the UofM bears no responsibility for the quality of data at

other sites. The interfaces to the data are also, for the most part,

beyond our direct control. Help may be available by entering a "?".

Usually, the arrow keys will function, and generally, using "q", "Q",

or"quit" will let you leave the outside service.  Again, we urge you to

review the information in the "About..." files which describe in more

detail the peculiarities of the various services.

    We hope that you find this service useful.  At any time, if there is

some information which you wish to make available on this system, please

contact the Consulting Lab and make the suggestion.

Comments, Questions, and Suggestions:

   Should be directed to the Consulting Lab at the

   Computer Science Center, (301) 405-1500 or consult@umail.umd.edu.

                 Gopher/Enterprise Coordination

Gopher is an experimental extension of Enterprise services.  All the

data present in Enterprise is supposed to be in near-perfect

synchronization with the data in Gopher.  When a file is updated on

Enterprise, it is automatically sent to Gopher.  Every hour, Gopher

wakes up, checks for new files, translates the Enterprise format to the

plain ASCII it prefers, and stores the file in its proper place. So

there should never be more than 2 hours lag in data update between

Enterprise and Gopher.

Every night at 4am, past events in some selected files (like the Weekly

Bulletin and Movies) are stripped away.  The whole database is

re-indexed then, so even though the data may be current the index is

only as current as the previous day.

If you notice gross disparity in data, which remains over a couple of

days, please notify Mitch Block (2-6599, MSBLOCK@YALEVM).

The only significant difference you will find between Gopher and

Enterprise is under the 'Libraries' heading:  direct connections to both

Orbis and Nexis are provided.

Warning: Despite the new format - classificiation of resorces by topic -

certain parts of this listing are in a chaotic state. This has to do with the

circumstances of its compilation. Basically, to access the net I have to sneak

         comments by Anon of Ibid:

            * This site has lots of Crowley texts and gifs, including the

            *complete* texts of the Book of Lies, Book of the Law, Book 4,

            Magick in Theory and Practice, Magick Without Tears, and some

            (or all) copies of the Equinox. (Crowley's magickal journal/

            zine/publication type thing) All this stuff is in directory

             /pub/magick/incoming. But there's lots more than Crowley stuff.

            Check this site out.

[Back to me:]

Also worth perusing are wilson.on.cis, an online conference with RAWilson as

guest participant, and cybercraft, which contains an exposition of Leary's

8-circuit model. ALSO, copies of the Equinox are retailing where I live

for about $700 (for 10 vols.) at present. You could probably make yourself

same money, and do yourself a favor, and violate some sort of copyright law

by printing copies of the Equinox based on the slopoke material.

  In fact the whole slopoke site is just one of the best. They have an old

alt.slack archive (old*slack!), extensive Notes on Kabbala that you won't

find anywhere else, the Principia, and *best of all*: in /pub/incoming they

have the up-to-date version of the Scriptures of V\R (see above). Praise

Pippin!

*** WEIRD RELIGIONS ***

A historical document:

>From: hin9@tank.uchicago.edu (T. Rev)

Newsgroups: alt.slack

Subject: Re: Timelines

Date: 5 Jun 89 00:42:01 GMT

     Given that the SubGeniuses seem to have been corrupted and poisoned

by virtue of their long fight against the Conspiracy (e.g. $tang's 'selling

out', Bob Black's increasing spiritual violence, the martyrdom of St.

Reith, the slow disappearance of many of the church elders, and general

dissatisfaction in the ranks, as well as the predicted Age of the Crowned

and Conquering Bobbie), the time seems right for the appearance of another

mindless, soul-destroying cult.  Since the Discordians came along in 1959,

and the Subs in 1979, 1989 would seem to be the next proper time for a

major cult (so that the geometric series will converge just _after_ the

supposed arrival of the X-ists (giving us needed slack time, of course)).

     In this light, and for research purposes only, not for sale or

prescription at this time, I would like to ask of Mr. Parry a description

of his doctrine of 'Kibology'--a Kibologist Manifesto, as it were.

     So, Mr. Parry, what say you?

NASA Pics Sites

NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;

I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting

to transfer scores of gigabytes of pix and other material.

To access the online catalog of NASA material, CD-ROMS, et cetera:

        telnet nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov

        login as "NODIS"

        no password

Anonymous ftp sites (five):

nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov [128.183.10.4]

        This is a VAX/VMS box, so you must ftp-login as "anonymous".  To get

        a dir listing into a file on your system:

        ftp> dir [...] file_on_your_system

vab02.larc.nasa.gov

     lots of stuff, including Aliens of all colors, and UFO pix (though this

        seems to mirror a lot of what's at phoenix.oulu.fi and has some

        additional material).

ames.arc.nasa.gov

        online copies of what appears to be all NASA's CD-ROMs, and lots of

        GIFs, *.img and *.jpg from most (all?) space missions since Apollo.

Two guys here. Judex <Polybenevolent Omni-Father of Truth In Spandex> worships

squids and spreads their "gospel". Your Heinous is a computer fiend and

headbanger extrodinaire. Trade your weirdness for theirs. B}

Judex is also a music and movie trivia buff, and a good source for such.

>From corleyj@GAS.uug.Arizona.EDU Wed Oct 28 11:31:29 1992

In Robert Anton Wilson's _Illuminatus! Trilogy_, he describes

a process used by Discordians, Erisians and Anarchists against

governments, corporations and in general, The Establishment.

This process involves sending many letters from different

parts of the country/world and is called Operation Mindfuck.

With the advent of e-mail, Operation Mindfucks are much more

easily coordinated.  One such network can be joined by e-mailing

corleyj@gas.uug.arizona.edu.  Networks are set up around

communal responsibility.  Everyone agrees to participate in

everyone else's Mindfuck.  If A helps B Fuck the IRS, then when

B wants to Fuck the Department of Defense, A is obliged to help.

Hail Eris!  All Hail Discordia!

>From: The Saint of Self Abuse

   I dunno if it counts but we have a really vocal, extreme right-wing

paranoid fundamentalist Christian who got a Bboard named after him out

here at CMU.  He frequently posts more than four posts in a day and we

already have somebody at MIT mocking the guy and it may be a national

thing because this guy is 100% all-American Christian fundie right wing

nutso.....

    Anyway,  the Bboard is assocs.collegerepublicans.intolerant_assholes

@ andrew.cmu.edu and our "friend" is Dave Byler: db7n @ andrew.cmu.edu

    He may not be weird enough for this list,  but he responds to

EVERYTHING and claims such things as:

    1.  There is an International Communist Conspiracy

    2.  Sen. Macarthy was right

    3.  Al Gore plans to save the earth by depopulating it

    4.  Liberalism = Nazism

lojban

    Contact: lojban-list-request@snark.thyrsus.com  (John Cowan)

    Purpose: To use, discuss, and contribute to the development of the

    constructed human language called Lojban (known in earlier

    versions as Loglan).  Lojban has a grammar based on predicate

    logic, and vocabulary built from the six most widely spoken human

    languages.  It is intended as a tool for experimental linguistics,

    as a medium for communication with computers, and as a possible

    international auxiliary language.

    Lojban-list is an unmoderated mail reflector.  New subscribers are

    asked to send their postal mailing addresses as well, so that they

    can be placed on the mailing list of The Logical Language Group,

    Inc., a non-profit organization.  The postal mailing list provides

    materials that are useful in learning about the language.

    Purpose: The discussion of the works and life of Philip K. Dick

    (1928-1982), one of the world's most unusual science fiction writers.

    Topics include his books and stories, and books and stories about him

    and his life; however, discussion can (of necessity) branch out into

    the nature of reality, consciousness and religious experience.

    Purpose: The alife mailing list is for communications regarding

    artificial life, a formative interdisciplinary field involving

    computer science, the natural sciences, mathematics, medicine and

    others.  The recent book _Artificial Life_, Christopher Langton, ed.,

    Addison Wesley, 1989 introduces the scope of artificial life as a field

    of study.  Alife was chartered in February 1990 at the Second Artificial

    Life Workshop, held in Santa Fe & organized by the Center for Nonlinear

    Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe

    Institute.  The list is intended primarily for low-volume, high-content

    scientific correspondence and as a publically accessible forum for the

    interested members of the public.  Membership as of July 1990 includes

    over 1,200 addresses on four continents.  There is an FTP-accessible

    archives/repository of past traffic, software and papers.  The list

    is maintained by the Artificial Life Research Group, Computer Science

    Department, Lindley Hall 101, Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405.

    There are conditions on redistribution of the list in order to minimize

    any misunderstanding or exaggeration concerning this new area of study.

*** SOME FTP SITES ***

141.214.4.135 (The Site Which Must Not Be Named)

an up-and-coming home of online weirdness, by the look of it - an ftp site

of underworld industries - also info on 'alternative media / alternative

music' network in /proj/amam - try get repdir to see who you should contact

e-zine lunatic fringe and others stored, along with high weirdness by email,

a 'stream-of-consciusness' project - a lot of this stuff i couldn't access

properly owing to difficulties at MY end, but it all seems promising. some

words from the guy who runs it:

>welp, i would give you the alphabetic address/name of the site IF THERE

>WERE ONE!  you see, we get a pool of about 30 (more if we need) IP

>addresses to do with as we please.  the big boys upstairs (actually in

>another building) who are in charge of assigning names will only do so

>if they are "important" (mail servers, BIG machines).  the pool we have

>are all SUPPOSED to just be for individual (DOS/mac) workstations.

>however, i skimmed one of and made it the "pirated" uwi ftp site!! voila!

>sorry!

>

>as for my blurb (by the nameless site!) you can include something like:

>underworld industries (uwi) is dedicated to exploring new (or old) and

>exciting experimental and [arguably] creative uses for technology.  oh

>yeah, and we even like the old-fashioned experimental arts, too. (like

>underground press, graphic arts, video, etc.)  check out the docs/uwi

>directory on the ftp site for more info....

>

>[sound ok?]

other things. call up the 1991 world cia factbook and look at the entry

for 'world'. they have the bible, koran, book of mormon organized so you

can execute keyword / topic searches [any bets on how long it will be

before they have the principia discordia?]

Counterev-L

    Contact: ae852@yfn.ysu.edu (Jovan Weismiller)

    Purpose: This list is under the aegis of l'Alliance Monarchists

    and is dedicated to promoting the cause of traditional monarchy

    and the Counter Revolution.  We believe in government based on

    natural law principles, decentralization, subsidiarity, an economy

    based on the principles of distributive justice, and the defense of

    traditional Western values.

    We believe in a Europe, United, Traditional, and Free from the

    Atlantic to the Urals, but we oppose the centralizing bureaucracy

    of the Maastricht treaty.  While we are based in the US, we are

    affiliated with L'Alliance pour la maintenance de la France en Europe,

    and we have members, as well as fraternal relations with the monarchist

    organizations, in most Western European countries.

    We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration

    in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up

    of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in

    those countries without a living monarchist tradition.

experimentally going online with a collection of zine reviews. i have seen

issue #0, part 1, which contains those reviews; i am not a zine person

myself (i have my hands full with what i'm getting over the net!!) but

some of the stuff reviewed looked really interesting. there's also reviews

of poetry chapbooks (?) (unseen) and future issues will include mailart

sections. [speaking of which, is there such a thing as internet mailart

yet?] send a request and luigi-bob will mail you with whatever he has.

worth getting. and say you liked it if you did (same applies to all these

people); feedback is essential at this stage of development.

    and the supernatural.  It was (appropriately enough) "brought back

    from the dead" by NBC for a single season last year. It also

    spawned two feature films, a series of paperback novels, and lots

    more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

    There are a number of international fan clubs for the series, but

    so far there has been no newsgroup or (electronic) mailling list

    devoted to it.  Now there is.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet

Status of this Memo

   This RFC is being distributed to members of the Internet community in

   order to make available some "hints" which will allow new network

   participants to understand how the direction of the Internet is set,

   how to acquire online information and how to be a good Internet

   neighbor.  While the information discussed may not be relevant to the

   research problems of the Internet, it may be interesting to a number

   of researchers and implementors.  No standards are defined or

   specified in this memo.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

NOTICE:

   The hitchhikers guide to the Internet is a very unevenly edited memo

   and contains many passages which simply seemed to its editors like a

   good idea at the time.  It is an indispensable companion to all those

   who are keen to make sense of life in an infinitely complex and

   confusing Internet, for although it cannot hope to be useful or

   informative on all matters, it does make the reassuring claim that

   where it is inaccurate, it is at least definitively inaccurate.  In

   cases of major discrepancy it is always reality that's got it wrong.

   And remember, DON'T PANIC.  (Apologies to Douglas Adams.)

Purpose and Audience

   This document assumes that one is familiar with the workings of a

   non-connected simple IP network (e.g., a few 4.3 BSD systems on an

   Ethernet not connected to anywhere else).  Appendix A contains

   remedial information to get one to this point.  Its purpose is to get

   that person, familiar with a simple net, versed in the "oral

   tradition" of the Internet to the point that that net can be

   connected to the Internet with little danger to either.  It is not a

   tutorial, it consists of pointers to other places, literature, and

   hints which are not normally documented.  Since the Internet is a

   dynamic environment, changes to this document will be made regularly.

f   The author welcomes comments and suggestions.  This is especially

   true of terms for the glossary (definitions are not necessary).

Krol                                                            [Page 1]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

What is the Internet?

   In the beginning there was the ARPANET, a wide area experimental

   network connecting hosts and terminal servers together.  Procedures

   were set up to regulate the allocation of addresses and to create

   voluntary standards for the network.  As local area networks became

   more pervasive, many hosts became gateways to local networks.  A

   network layer to allow the interoperation of these networks was

   developed and called Internet Protocol (IP).  Over time other groups

   created long haul IP based networks (NASA, NSF, states...).  These

   nets, too, interoperate because of IP.  The collection of all of

   these interoperating networks is the Internet.

   A few groups provide much of the information services on the

   Internet.  Information Sciences Institute (ISI) does much of the

   standardization and allocation work of the Internet acting as the

   Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).  SRI International

   provides the principal information services for the Internet by

   operating the Network Information Center (NIC).  In fact, after you

   are connected to the Internet most of the information in this

   document can be retrieved from the SRI-NIC.  Bolt Beranek and Newman

   (BBN) provides information services for CSNET (the CIC) and NSFNET

   (the NNSC), and Merit provides information services for NSFNET (the

   NIS).

Operating the Internet

   Each network, be it the ARPANET, NSFNET or a regional network, has

   its own operations center.  The ARPANET is run by BBN, Inc. under

   contract from DCA (on behalf of DARPA).  Their facility is called the

   Network Operations Center or NOC.  Merit, Inc. operates NSFNET from

   yet another and completely seperate NOC.  It goes on to the regionals

   having similar facilities to monitor and keep watch over the goings

   on of their portion of the Internet.  In addition, they all should

   have some knowledge of what is happening to the Internet in total.

   If a problem comes up, it is suggested that a campus network liaison

   should contact the network operator to which he is directly

   connected.  That is, if you are connected to a regional network

   (which is gatewayed to the NSFNET, which is connected to the

   ARPANET...) and have a problem, you should contact your regional

   network operations center.

RFCs

   The internal workings of the Internet are defined by a set of

   documents called RFCs (Request for Comments).  The general process

   for creating an RFC is for someone wanting something formalized to

   write a document describing the issue and mailing it to Jon Postel

Krol                                                            [Page 2]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   (Postel@ISI.EDU).  He acts as a referee for the proposal.  It is then

   commented upon by all those wishing to take part in the discussion

   (electronically of course).  It may go through multiple revisions.

   Should it be generally accepted as a good idea, it will be assigned a

   number and filed with the RFCs.

   There are two independent categorizations of protocols.  The first is

   the state of standardization which is one of "standard", "draft

   standard", "proposed", "experimental", or "historic".  The second is

   the status of this protocol which is one of "required",

   "recommended", "elective", or "not recommended".  One could expect a

   particular protocol to move along the scale of status from elective

   to required at the same time as it moves along the scale of

   standardization from proposed to standard.

   A Required Standard protocol (e.g., RFC-791, The Internet Protocol)

   must be implemented on any host connected to the Internet.

   Recommended Standard protocols are generally implemented by network

   hosts.  Lack of them does not preclude access to the Internet, but

   may impact its usability.  RFC-793 (Transmission Control Protocol) is

   a Recommended Standard protocol.  Elective Proposed protocols were

   discussed and agreed to, but their application has never come into

   wide use.  This may be due to the lack of wide need for the specific

   application (RFC-937, The Post Office Protocol) or that, although

   technically superior, ran against other pervasive approaches.  It is

   suggested that should the facility be required by a particular site,

   an implementation be done in accordance with the RFC.  This insures

   that, should the idea be one whose time has come, the implementation

   will be in accordance with some standard and will be generally

   usable.

   Informational RFCs contain factual information about the Internet and

   its operation (RFC-1010, Assigned Numbers).  Finally, as the Internet

   and technology have grown, some RFCs have become unnecessary.  These

   obsolete RFCs cannot be ignored, however.  Frequently when a change

   is made to some RFC that causes a new one to be issued obsoleting

   others, the new RFC may only contains explanations and motivations

   for the change.  Understanding the model on which the whole facility

   is based may involve reading the original and subsequent RFCs on the

   topic.  (Appendix B contains a list of what are considered to be the

   major RFCs necessary for understanding the Internet).

   Only a few RFCs actually specify standards, most RFCs are for

   information or discussion purposes.  To find out what the current

   standards are see the RFC titled "IAB Official Protocol Standards"

   (most recently published as RFC-1100).

Krol                                                            [Page 3]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

The Network Information Center (NIC)

   The NIC is a facility available to all Internet users which provides

   information to the community.  There are three means of NIC contact:

   network, telephone, and mail.  The network accesses are the most

   prevalent.  Interactive access is frequently used to do queries of

   NIC service overviews, look up user and host names, and scan lists of

   NIC documents.  It is available by using

      %telnet nic.ddn.mil

   on a BSD system, and following the directions provided by a user

   friendly prompter.  From poking around in the databases provided, one

   might decide that a document named NETINFO:NUG.DOC (The Users Guide

   to the ARPANET) would be worth having.  It could be retrieved via an

   anonymous FTP.  An anonymous FTP would proceed something like the

   following.  (The dialogue may vary slightly depending on the

   implementation of FTP you are using).

     %ftp nic.ddn.mil

   Questions of the NIC or problems with services can be asked of or

   reported to using electronic mail.  The following addresses can be

   used:

     NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL         General user assistance, document requests

     REGISTRAR@NIC.DDN.MIL   User registration and WHOIS updates

     HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL  Hostname and domain changes and updates

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   For people without network access, or if the number of documents is

   large, many of the NIC documents are available in printed form for a

   small charge.  One frequently ordered document for starting sites is

   a compendium of major RFCs.  Telephone access is used primarily for

   questions or problems with network access.  (See appendix B for

   mail/telephone contact numbers).

The NSFNET Network Service Center

   The NSFNET Network Service Center (NNSC), located at BBN Systems and

   Technologies Corp., is a project of the University Corporation for

   Atmospheric Research under agreement with the National Science

   Foundation.  The NNSC provides support to end-users of NSFNET should

   they have questions or encounter problems traversing the network.

   The NNSC, which has information and documents online and in printed

   form, distributes news through network mailing lists, bulletins, and

   online reports.  NNSC publications include a hardcopy newsletter, the

   NSF Network News, which contains articles of interest to network

   users and the Internet Resource Guide, which lists facilities (such

   as supercomputer centers and on-line library catalogues) accessible

   from the Internet.  The Resource Guide can be obtained via anonymous

   ftp to nnsc.nsf.net in the directory resource-guide, or by joining

   the resource guide mailing list (send a subscription request to

   Resource-Guide-Request@NNSC.NSF.NET.)

Mail Reflectors

   The way most people keep up to date on network news is through

   subscription to a number of mail reflectors (also known as mail

   exploders).  Mail reflectors are special electronic mailboxes which,

   when they receive a message, resend it to a list of other mailboxes.

   This in effect creates a discussion group on a particular topic.

   Each subscriber sees all the mail forwarded by the reflector, and if

   one wants to put his "two cents" in sends a message with the comments

   to the reflector.

   The general format to subscribe to a mail list is to find the address

   reflector and append the string -REQUEST to the mailbox name (not the

   host name).  For example, if you wanted to take part in the mailing

   list for NSFNET reflected by NSFNET-INFO@MERIT.EDU, one sends a

   request to NSFNET-INFO-REQUEST@MERIT.EDU.  This may be a wonderful

   scheme, but the problem is that you must know the list exists in the

   first place.  It is suggested that, if you are interested, you read

   the mail from one list (like NSFNET-INFO) and you will probably

   become familiar with the existence of others.  A registration service

   for mail reflectors is provided by the NIC in the files

   NETINFO:INTEREST-GROUPS-3.TXT.

   The NSFNET-INFO mail reflector is targeted at those people who have a

   day to day interest in the news of the NSFNET (the backbone, regional

   network, and Internet inter-connection site workers).  The messages

   are reflected by a central location and are sent as separate messages

   to each subscriber.  This creates hundreds of messages on the wide

   area networks where bandwidth is the scarcest.

   There are two ways in which a campus could spread the news and not

   cause these messages to inundate the wide area networks.  One is to

   re-reflect the message on the campus.  That is, set up a reflector on

   a local machine which forwards the message to a campus distribution

   list.  The other is to create an alias on a campus machine which

   places the messages into a notesfile on the topic.  Campus users who

   want the information could access the notesfile and see the messages

   that have been sent since their last access.  One might also elect to

   have the campus wide area network liaison screen the messages in

   either case and only forward those which are considered of merit.

   Either of these schemes allows one message to be sent to the campus,

   while allowing wide distribution within.

Address Allocation

   Before a local network can be connected to the Internet it must be

   allocated a unique IP address.  These addresses are allocated by

   SRI-NIC.  The allocation process consists of getting an application

   form.  Send a message to Hostmaster@NIC.DDN.MIL and ask for the

   template for a connected address.  This template is filled out and

   mailed back to the hostmaster.  An address is allocated and e-mailed

   back to you.  This can also be done by postal mail (Appendix B).

   IP addresses are 32 bits long.  It is usually written as four decimal

   numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.17.5.100).  Each number is

   the value of an octet of the 32 bits.  Some networks might choose to

   organize themselves as very flat (one net with a lot of nodes) and

   some might organize hierarchically (many interconnected nets with

   fewer nodes each and a backbone).  To provide for these cases,

   addresses were differentiated into class A, B, and C networks.  This

   classification had to with the interpretation of the octets.  Class A

   networks have the first octet as a network address and the remaining

   three as a host address on that network.  Class C addresses have

   three octets of network address and one of host.  Class B is split

   two and two.  Therefore, there is an address space for a few large

   nets, a reasonable number of medium nets and a large number of small

   nets.  The high order bits in the first octet are coded to tell the

   address format.  There are very few unallocated class A nets, so a

   very good case must be made for them.  So as a practical matter, one

Krol                                                            [Page 6]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   has to choose between Class B and Class C when placing an order.

   (There are also class D (Multicast) and E (Experimental) formats.

   Multicast addresses will likely come into greater use in the near

   future, but are not frequently used yet).

   In the past, sites requiring multiple network addresses requested

   multiple discrete addresses (usually Class C).  This was done because

   much of the software available (notably 4.2BSD) could not deal with

   subnetted addresses.  Information on how to reach a particular

   network (routing information) must be stored in Internet gateways and

   packet switches.  Some of these nodes have a limited capability to

   store and exchange routing information (limited to about 700

   networks).  Therefore, it is suggested that any campus announce (make

   known to the Internet) no more than two discrete network numbers.

   If a campus expects to be constrained by this, it should consider

   subnetting.  Subnetting (RFC-950) allows one to announce one address

   to the Internet and use a set of addresses on the campus.  Basically,

   one defines a mask which allows the network to differentiate between

   the network portion and host portion of the address.  By using a

   different mask on the Internet and the campus, the address can be

   interpreted in multiple ways.  For example, if a campus requires two

   networks internally and has the 32,000 addresses beginning

   128.174.X.X (a Class B address) allocated to it, the campus could

   allocate 128.174.5.X to one part of campus and 128.174.10.X to

   another.  By advertising 128.174 to the Internet with a subnet mask

   of FF.FF.00.00, the Internet would treat these two addresses as one.

   Within the campus a mask of FF.FF.FF.00 would be used, allowing the

   campus to treat the addresses as separate entities. (In reality, you

   don't pass the subnet mask of FF.FF.00.00 to the Internet, the octet

   meaning is implicit in its being a class B address).

   A word of warning is necessary.  Not all systems know how to do

   subnetting.  Some 4.2BSD systems require additional software.  4.3BSD

   systems subnet as released.  Other devices and operating systems vary

   in the problems they have dealing with subnets.  Frequently, these

   machines can be used as a leaf on a network but not as a gateway

   within the subnetted portion of the network.  As time passes and more

   systems become 4.3BSD based, these problems should disappear.

   There has been some confusion in the past over the format of an IP

   broadcast address.  Some machines used an address of all zeros to

   mean broadcast and some all ones.  This was confusing when machines

   of both type were connected to the same network.  The broadcast

   address of all ones has been adopted to end the grief.  Some systems

   (e.g., 4.3 BSD) allow one to choose the format of the broadcast

   address.  If a system does allow this choice, care should be taken

   that the all ones format is chosen.  (This is explained in RFC-1009

Krol                                                            [Page 7]

   and RFC-1010).

Internet Problems

   There are a number of problems with the Internet.  Solutions to the

   problems range from software changes to long term research projects.

   Some of the major ones are detailed below:

   Number of Networks

      When the Internet was designed it was to have about 50 connected

      networks.  With the explosion of networking, the number is now

      approaching 1000.  The software in a group of critical gateways

      (called the core gateways) are not able to pass or store much more

      than that number.  In the short term, core reallocation and

      recoding has raised the number slightly.

   Routing Issues

      Along with sheer mass of the data necessary to route packets to a

      large number of networks, there are many problems with the

      updating, stability, and optimality of the routing algorithms.

      Much research is being done in the area, but the optimal solution

      to these routing problems is still years away.  In most cases, the

      the routing we have today works, but sub-optimally and sometimes

      unpredictably.  The current best hope for a good routing protocol

      is something known as OSPFIGP which will be generally available

      from many router manufacturers within a year.

   Trust Issues

      Gateways exchange network routing information.  Currently, most

      gateways accept on faith that the information provided about the

      state of the network is correct.  In the past this was not a big

      problem since most of the gateways belonged to a single

      administrative entity (DARPA).  Now, with multiple wide area

      networks under different administrations, a rogue gateway

      somewhere in the net could cripple the Internet.  There is design

      work going on to solve both the problem of a gateway doing

      unreasonable things and providing enough information to reasonably

      route data between multiply connected networks (multi-homed

      networks).

   Capacity & Congestion

      Some portions of the Internet are very congested during the busy

      part of the day.  Growth is dramatic with some networks

      experiencing growth in traffic in excess of 20% per month.

Krol                                                            [Page 8]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

      Additional bandwidth is planned, but delivery and budgets might

      not allow supply to keep up.

Routing

   Routing is the algorithm by which a network directs a packet from its

   source to its destination.  To appreciate the problem, watch a small

   child trying to find a table in a restaurant.  From the adult point

   of view, the structure of the dining room is seen and an optimal

   route easily chosen.  The child, however, is presented with a set of

   paths between tables where a good path, let alone the optimal one to

   the goal is not discernible.

   A little more background might be appropriate.  IP gateways (more

   correctly routers) are boxes which have connections to multiple

   networks and pass traffic between these nets.  They decide how the

   packet is to be sent based on the information in the IP header of the

   packet and the state of the network.  Each interface on a router has

   an unique address appropriate to the network to which it is

   connected.  The information in the IP header which is used is

   primarily the destination address.  Other information (e.g., type of

   service) is largely ignored at this time.  The state of the network

   is determined by the routers passing information among themselves.

   The distribution of the database (what each node knows), the form of

   the updates, and metrics used to measure the value of a connection,

   are the parameters which determine the characteristics of a routing

   protocol.

   Under some algorithms, each node in the network has complete

Krol                                                           [Page 10]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   knowledge of the state of the network (the adult algorithm).  This

   implies the nodes must have larger amounts of local storage and

   enough CPU to search the large tables in a short enough time

   (remember, this must be done for each packet).  Also, routing updates

   usually contain only changes to the existing information (or you

   spend a large amount of the network capacity passing around megabyte

   routing updates).  This type of algorithm has several problems.

   Since the only way the routing information can be passed around is

   across the network and the propagation time is non-trivial, the view

   of the network at each node is a correct historical view of the

   network at varying times in the past.  (The adult algorithm, but

   rather than looking directly at the dining area, looking at a

   photograph of the dining room.  One is likely to pick the optimal

   route and find a bus-cart has moved in to block the path after the

   photo was taken).  These inconsistencies can cause circular routes

   (called routing loops) where once a packet enters it is routed in a

   closed path until its time to live (TTL) field expires and it is

   discarded.

   Other algorithms may know about only a subset of the network.  To

   prevent loops in these protocols, they are usually used in a

   hierarchical network.  They know completely about their own area, but

   to leave that area they go to one particular place (the default

   gateway).  Typically these are used in smaller networks (campus or

   regional).

   Routing protocols in current use:

   Static (no protocol-table/default routing)

      Don't laugh.  It is probably the most reliable, easiest to

      implement, and least likely to get one into trouble for a small

      network or a leaf on the Internet.  This is, also, the only method

      available on some CPU-operating system combinations.  If a host is

      connected to an Ethernet which has only one gateway off of it, one

      should make that the default gateway for the host and do no other

      routing.  (Of course, that gateway may pass the reachability

      information somehow on the other side of itself.)

      One word of warning, it is only with extreme caution that one

      should use static routes in the middle of a network which is also

      using dynamic routing.  The routers passing dynamic information

      are sometimes confused by conflicting dynamic and static routes.

      If your host is on an ethernet with multiple routers to other

      networks on it and the routers are doing dynamic routing among

      themselves, it is usually better to take part in the dynamic

      routing than to use static routes.

Krol                                                           [Page 11]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   RIP

      RIP is a routing protocol based on XNS (Xerox Network System)

      adapted for IP networks.  It is used by many routers (Proteon,

      cisco, UB...) and many BSD Unix systems.  BSD systems typically

      run a program called "routed" to exchange information with other

      systems running RIP.  RIP works best for nets of small diameter

      (few hops) where the links are of equal speed.  The reason for

      this is that the metric used to determine which path is best is

      the hop-count.  A hop is a traversal across a gateway.  So, all

      machines on the same Ethernet are zero hops away.  If a router

      connects connects two networks directly, a machine on the other

      side of the router is one hop away.  As the routing information is

      passed through a gateway, the gateway adds one to the hop counts

      to keep them consistent across the network.  The diameter of a

      network is defined as the largest hop-count possible within a

      network.  Unfortunately, a hop count of 16 is defined as infinity

      in RIP meaning the link is down.  Therefore, RIP will not allow

      hosts separated by more than 15 gateways in the RIP space to

      communicate.

      The other problem with hop-count metrics is that if links have

      different speeds, that difference is not reflected in the hop-

      count.  So a one hop satellite link (with a .5 sec delay) at 56kb

      would be used instead of a two hop T1 connection.  Congestion can

      be viewed as a decrease in the efficacy of a link.  So, as a link

      gets more congested, RIP will still know it is the best hop-count

      route and congest it even more by throwing more packets on the

      queue for that link.

      RIP was originally not well documented in the community and people

      read BSD code to find out how RIP really worked.  Finally, it was

      documented in RFC-1058.

   Routed

      The routed program, which does RIP for 4.2BSD systems, has many

      options.  One of the most frequently used is: "routed -q" (quiet

      mode) which means listen to RIP information, but never broadcast

      it.  This would be used by a machine on a network with multiple

      RIP speaking gateways.  It allows the host to determine which

      gateway is best (hopwise) to use to reach a distant network.  (Of

      course, you might want to have a default gateway to prevent having

      to pass all the addresses known to the Internet around with RIP.)

      There are two ways to insert static routes into routed; the

      /etc/gateways file, and the "route add" command.  Static routes

      are useful if you know how to reach a distant network, but you are

Krol                                                           [Page 12]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

      not receiving that route using RIP.  For the most part the "route

      add" command is preferable to use.  The reason for this is that

      the command adds the route to that machine's routing table but

      does not export it through RIP.  The /etc/gateways file takes

      precedence over any routing information received through a RIP

      update.  It is also broadcast as fact in RIP updates produced by

      the host without question, so if a mistake is made in the

      /etc/gateways file, that mistake will soon permeate the RIP space

      and may bring the network to its knees.

      One of the problems with routed is that you have very little

      control over what gets broadcast and what doesn't.  Many times in

      larger networks where various parts of the network are under

      different administrative controls, you would like to pass on

      through RIP only nets which you receive from RIP and you know are

      reasonable.  This prevents people from adding IP addresses to the

      network which may be illegal and you being responsible for passing

      them on to the Internet.  This type of reasonability checks are

      not available with routed and leave it usable, but inadequate for

      large networks.

   Hello (RFC-891)

      Hello is a routing protocol which was designed and implemented in

      a experimental software router called a "Fuzzball" which runs on a

      PDP-11.  It does not have wide usage, but is the routing protocol

      formerly used on the initial NSFNET backbone.  The data

      transferred between nodes is similar to RIP (a list of networks

      and their metrics).  The metric, however, is milliseconds of

      delay.  This allows Hello to be used over nets of various link

      speeds and performs better in congestive situations.

      One of the most interesting side effects of Hello based networks

      is their great timekeeping ability.  If you consider the problem

      of measuring delay on a link for the metric, you find that it is

      not an easy thing to do.  You cannot measure round trip time since

      the return link may be more congested, of a different speed, or

      even not there.  It is not really feasible for each node on the

      network to have a builtin WWV (nationwide radio time standard)

      receiver.  So, you must design an algorithm to pass around time

      between nodes over the network links where the delay in

      transmission can only be approximated.  Hello routers do this and

      in a nationwide network maintain synchronized time within

      milliseconds. (See also the Network Time Protocol, RFC-1059.)

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   Gateway Gateway Protocol (GGP RFC-823)

      The core gateways originally used GGP to exchange information

      among themselves.  This is a "distance-vector" algorithm.  The new

      core gateways use a "link-state" algorithm.

   NSFNET SPF (RFC-1074)

      The current NSFNET Backbone routers use a version of the ANSI IS-

      IS and ISO ES-IS routing protocol.  This is a "shortest path

      first" (SPF) algorithm which is in the class of "link-state"

      algorithms.

   Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP RFC-904)

      EGP is not strictly a routing protocol, it is a reachability

      protocol.  It tells what nets can be reached through what gateway,

      but not how good the connection is.  It is the standard by which

      gateways exchange network reachability information with the core

      gateways.  It is generally used between autonomous systems.  There

      is a metric passed around by EGP, but its usage is not

      standardized formally.  The metric's value ranges from 0 to 255

      with smaller values considered "better".  Some implementations

      consider the value 255 to mean unreachable.  Many routers talk EGP

      so they can be used to interface to routers of different

      manufacture or operated by different administrations.  For

      example, when a router of the NSFNET Backbone exchanges routing or

      reachability information with a gateway of a regional network EGP

      is used.

   Gated

      So we have regional and campus networks talking RIP among

      themselves and the DDN and NSFNET speaking EGP.  How do they

      interoperate?  In the beginning, there was static routing.  The

      problem with doing static routing in the middle of the network is

      that it is broadcast to the Internet whether it is usable or not.

      Therefore, if a net becomes unreachable and you try to get there,

      dynamic routing will immediately issue a net unreachable to you.

      Under static routing the routers would think the net could be

      reached and would continue trying until the application gave up

      (in 2 or more minutes).  Mark Fedor, then of Cornell, attempted to

      solve these problems with a replacement for routed called gated.

      Gated talks RIP to RIP speaking hosts, EGP to EGP speakers, and

      Hello to Hello'ers.  These speakers frequently all live on one

      Ethernet, but luckily (or unluckily) cannot understand each others

      ruminations.  In addition, under configuration file control it can

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

      filter the conversion.  For example, one can produce a

      configuration saying announce RIP nets via Hello only if they are

      specified in a list and are reachable by way of a RIP broadcast as

      well.  This means that if a rogue network appears in your local

      site's RIP space, it won't be passed through to the Hello side of

      the world.  There are also configuration options to do static

      routing and name trusted gateways.

      This may sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread, but

      there is a catch called metric conversion.  You have RIP measuring

      in hops, Hello measuring in milliseconds, and EGP using arbitrary

      small numbers.  The big questions is how many hops to a

      millisecond, how many milliseconds in the EGP number 3....  Also,

      remember that infinity (unreachability) is 16 to RIP, 30000 or so

      to Hello, and 8 to the DDN with EGP.  Getting all these metrics to

      work well together is no small feat.  If done incorrectly and you

      translate an RIP of 16 into an EGP of 6, everyone in the ARPANET

      will still think your gateway can reach the unreachable and will

      send every packet in the world your way.  Gated is available via

      anonymous FTP from devvax.tn.cornell.edu in directory pub/gated.

Names

   All routing across the network is done by means of the IP address

   associated with a packet.  Since humans find it difficult to remember

   addresses like 128.174.5.50, a symbolic name register was set up at

   the NIC where people would say, "I would like my host to be named

   uiucuxc".  Machines connected to the Internet across the nation would

   connect to the NIC in the middle of the night, check modification

   dates on the hosts file, and if modified, move it to their local

   machine.  With the advent of workstations and micros, changes to the

   host file would have to be made nightly.  It would also be very labor

   intensive and consume a lot of network bandwidth.  RFC-1034 and a

   number of others describe Domain Name Service (DNS), a distributed

   data base system for mapping names into addresses.

   We must look a little more closely into what's in a name.  First,

   note that an address specifies a particular connection on a specific

   network.  If the machine moves, the address changes.  Second, a

   machine can have one or more names and one or more network addresses

   (connections) to different networks.  Names point to a something

   which does useful work (i.e., the machine) and IP addresses point to

   an interface on that provider.  A name is a purely symbolic

   representation of a list of addresses on the network.  If a machine

   moves to a different network, the addresses will change but the name

   could remain the same.

   Domain names are tree structured names with the root of the tree at

Krol                                                           [Page 15]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   the right.  For example:

                             uxc.cso.uiuc.edu

   is a machine called "uxc" (purely arbitrary), within the subdomains

   of the U of I, and "uiuc" (the University of Illinois at Urbana),

   registered with "edu" (the set of educational institutions).

   A simplified model of how a name is resolved is that on the user's

   machine there is a resolver.  The resolver knows how to contact

   across the network a root name server.  Root servers are the base of

   the tree structured data retrieval system.  They know who is

   responsible for handling first level domains (e.g., 'edu').  What

   root servers to use is an installation parameter. From the root

   server the resolver finds out who provides 'edu' service.  It

   contacts the 'edu' name server which supplies it with a list of

   addresses of servers for the subdomains (like 'uiuc').  This action

   is repeated with the sub-domain servers until the final subdomain

   returns a list of addresses of interfaces on the host in question.

   The user's machine then has its choice of which of these addresses to

   use for communication.

   A group may apply for its own domain name (like 'uiuc' above).  This

   is done in a manner similar to the IP address allocation.  The only

   requirements are that the requestor have two machines reachable from

   the Internet, which will act as name servers for that domain.  Those

   servers could also act as servers for subdomains or other servers

   could be designated as such.  Note that the servers need not be

   located in any particular place, as long as they are reachable for

   name resolution.  (U of I could ask Michigan State to act on its

   behalf and that would be fine.)  The biggest problem is that someone

   must do maintenance on the database.  If the machine is not

   convenient, that might not be done in a timely fashion.  The other

   thing to note is that once the domain is allocated to an

   administrative entity, that entity can freely allocate subdomains

   using what ever manner it sees fit.

   The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) Server implements the

   Internet name server for UNIX systems.  The name server is a

   distributed data base system that allows clients to name resources

   and to share that information with other network hosts.  BIND is

   integrated with 4.3BSD and is used to lookup and store host names,

   addresses, mail agents, host information, and more.  It replaces the

   /etc/hosts file or host name lookup.  BIND is still an evolving

   program.  To keep up with reports on operational problems, future

   design decisions, etc., join the BIND mailing list by sending a

   request to Bind-Request@UCBARPA.BERKELEY.EDU.  BIND can also be

   obtained via anonymous FTP from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu.

Krol                                                           [Page 16]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   There are several advantages in using BIND.  One of the most

   important is that it frees a host from relying on /etc/hosts being up

   to date and complete.  Within the .uiuc.edu domain, only a few hosts

   are included in the host table distributed by SRI.  The remainder are

   listed locally within the BIND tables on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (the server

   machine for most of the .uiuc.edu domain).  All are equally reachable

   from any other Internet host running BIND, or any DNS resolver.

   BIND can also provide mail forwarding information for interior hosts

   not directly reachable from the Internet.  These hosts an either be

   on non-advertised networks, or not connected to an IP network at all,

   as in the case of UUCP-reachable hosts (see RFC-974).  More

   information on BIND is available in the "Name Server Operations Guide

   for BIND" in UNIX System Manager's Manual, 4.3BSD release.

   There are a few special domains on the network, like NIC.DDN.MIL.

   The hosts database at the NIC.  There are others of the form

   NNSC.NSF.NET.  These special domains are used sparingly, and require

   ample justification.  They refer to servers under the administrative

   control of the network rather than any single organization.  This

   allows for the actual server to be moved around the net while the

   user interface to that machine remains constant.  That is, should BBN

   relinquish control of the NNSC, the new provider would be pointed to

   by that name.

   In actuality, the domain system is a much more general and complex

   system than has been described.  Resolvers and some servers cache

   information to allow steps in the resolution to be skipped.

   Information provided by the servers can be arbitrary, not merely IP

   addresses.  This allows the system to be used both by non-IP networks

   and for mail, where it may be necessary to give information on

   intermediate mail bridges.

What's wrong with Berkeley Unix

   University of California at Berkeley has been funded by DARPA to

   modify the Unix system in a number of ways.  Included in these

   modifications is support for the Internet protocols.  In earlier

   versions (e.g., BSD 4.2) there was good support for the basic

   Internet protocols (TCP, IP, SMTP, ARP) which allowed it to perform

   nicely on IP Ethernets and smaller Internets.  There were

   deficiencies, however, when it was connected to complicated networks.

   Most of these problems have been resolved under the newest release

   (BSD 4.3).  Since it is the springboard from which many vendors have

   launched Unix implementations (either by porting the existing code or

   by using it as a model), many implementations (e.g., Ultrix) are

   still based on BSD 4.2.  Therefore, many implementations still exist

   with the BSD 4.2 problems.  As time goes on, when BSD 4.3 trickles

Krol                                                           [Page 17]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   through vendors as new release, many of the problems will be

   resolved.  Following is a list of some problem scenarios and their

   handling under each of these releases.

   ICMP redirects

      Under the Internet model, all a system needs to know to get

      anywhere in the Internet is its own address, the address of where

      it wants to go, and how to reach a gateway which knows about the

      Internet.  It doesn't have to be the best gateway.  If the system

      is on a network with multiple gateways, and a host sends a packet

      for delivery to a gateway which feels another directly connected

      gateway is more appropriate, the gateway sends the sender a

      message.  This message is an ICMP redirect, which politely says,

      "I'll deliver this message for you, but you really ought to use

      that gateway over there to reach this host".  BSD 4.2 ignores

      these messages.  This creates more stress on the gateways and the

      local network, since for every packet sent, the gateway sends a

      packet to the originator.  BSD 4.3 uses the redirect to update its

      routing tables, will use the route until it times out, then revert

      to the use of the route it thinks is should use.  The whole

      process then repeats, but it is far better than one per packet.

   Trailers

      An application (like FTP) sends a string of octets to TCP which

      breaks it into chunks, and adds a TCP header.  TCP then sends

      blocks of data to IP which adds its own headers and ships the

      packets over the network.  All this prepending of the data with

      headers causes memory moves in both the sending and the receiving

      machines.  Someone got the bright idea that if packets were long

      and they stuck the headers on the end (they became trailers), the

      receiving machine could put the packet on the beginning of a page

      boundary and if the trailer was OK merely delete it and transfer

      control of the page with no memory moves involved.  The problem is

      that trailers were never standardized and most gateways don't know

      to look for the routing information at the end of the block.  When

      trailers are used, the machine typically works fine on the local

      network (no gateways involved) and for short blocks through

      gateways (on which trailers aren't used).  So TELNET and FTP's of

      very short files work just fine and FTP's of long files seem to

      hang.  On BSD 4.2 trailers are a boot option and one should make

      sure they are off when using the Internet.  BSD 4.3 negotiates

      trailers, so it uses them on its local net and doesn't use them

      when going across the network.

Krol                                                           [Page 18]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

   Retransmissions

      TCP fires off blocks to its partner at the far end of the

      connection.  If it doesn't receive an acknowledgement in a

      reasonable amount of time it retransmits the blocks.  The

      determination of what is reasonable is done by TCP's

      retransmission algorithm.

      There is no correct algorithm but some are better than others,

      where worse is measured by the number of retransmissions done

      unnecessarily.  BSD 4.2 had a retransmission algorithm which

      retransmitted quickly and often.  This is exactly what you would

      want if you had a bunch of machines on an Ethernet (a low delay

      network of large bandwidth).  If you have a network of relatively

      longer delay and scarce bandwidth (e.g., 56kb lines), it tends to

      retransmit too aggressively.  Therefore, it makes the networks and

      gateways pass more traffic than is really necessary for a given

      conversation.  Retransmission algorithms do adapt to the delay of

      the network after a few packets, but 4.2's adapts slowly in delay

      situations.  BSD 4.3 does a lot better and tries to do the best

      for both worlds.  It fires off a few retransmissions really

      quickly assuming it is on a low delay network, and then backs off

      very quickly.  It also allows the delay to be about 4 minutes

      before it gives up and declares the connection broken.

      Even better than the original 4.3 code is a version of TCP with a

      retransmission algorithm developed by Van Jacobson of LBL.  He did

      a lot of research into how the algorithm works on real networks

      and modified it to get both better throughput and be friendlier to

      the network.  This code has been integrated into the later

      releases of BSD 4.3 and can be fetched anonymously from

      ucbarpa.berkeley.edu in directory 4.3.

   Time to Live

      The IP packet header contains a field called the time to live

      (TTL) field.  It is decremented each time the packet traverses a

      gateway.  TTL was designed to prevent packets caught in routing

      loops from being passed forever with no hope of delivery.  Since

      the definition bears some likeness to the RIP hop count, some

      misguided systems have set the TTL field to 15 because the

      unreachable flag in RIP is 16.  Obviously, no networks could have

      more than 15 hops.  The RIP space where hops are limited ends when

      RIP is not used as a routing protocol any more (e.g., when NSFnet

      starts transporting the packet).  Therefore, it is quite easy for

      a packet to require more than 15 hops.  These machines will

      exhibit the behavior of being able to reach some places but not

      others even though the routing information appears correct.

Krol                                                           [Page 19]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

      Solving the problem typically requires kernel patches so it may be

      difficult if source is not available.

Glossary

--------

   autonomous system

      A set of gateways under a single administrative control and using

      compatible and consistent routing procedures.  Generally speaking,

      the gateways run by a particular organization.  Since a gateway is

      connected to two (or more) networks it is not usually correct to

      say that a gateway is in a network.  For example, the gateways

      that connect regional networks to the NSF Backbone network are run

      by Merit and form an autonomous system.  Another example, the

      gateways that connect campuses to NYSERNET are run by NYSER and

      form an autonomous system.

   core gateway

      The innermost gateways of the Internet.  These gateways have a

      total picture of the reachability to all networks known to the

      Internet.  They then redistribute reachability information to

      their neighbor gateways speaking EGP.  It is from them your EGP

      agent (there is one acting for you somewhere if you can reach the

      core of the Internet) finds out it can reach all the nets on the

      Internet.  Which is then passed to you via Hello, gated, RIP.  The

      core gateways mostly connect campuses to the ARPANET, or

      interconnect the ARPANET and the MILNET, and are run by BBN.

   count to infinity

      The symptom of a routing problem where routing information is

      passed in a circular manner through multiple gateways.  Each

      gateway increments the metric appropriately and passes it on.  As

      the metric is passed around the loop, it increments to ever

      increasing values until it reaches the maximum for the routing

      protocol being used, which typically denotes a link outage.

   hold down

      When a router discovers a path in the network has gone down

      announcing that that path is down for a minimum amount of time

      (usually at least two minutes).  This allows for the propagation

      of the routing information across the network and prevents the

      formation of routing loops.

   split horizon

      When a router (or group of routers working in consort) accept

      routing information from multiple external networks, but do not

Krol                                                           [Page 23]

RFC 1118         The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet    September 1989

      pass on information learned from one external network to any

      others.  This is an attempt to prevent bogus routes to a network

      from being propagated because of gossip or counting to infinity.

   DDN

      Defense Data Network the collective name for the ARPANET and

      MILNET.  Used frequently because although they are seperate

      networks the operational and informational foci are the same.

Security Considerations

   Security and privacy protection is a serious matter and too often

   nothing is done about it.  There are some known security bugs

   (especially in access control) in BSD Unix and in some

   implementations of network services.  The hitchhikers guide does not

   discuss these issues (too bad).

DESCRIPTION

  The Hytelnet software is a general hypertext browser, packaged with

  Peter Scott's invaluable database of Internet-accessible telnet

  sites.  Peter's database lists libraries, Campus-Wide Information

  Systems, Freenets and more.  The Hytelnet software is available for

  Unix and VMS systems, and should work on any system with a reasonable

  Curses implementation.

  The program notices telnet commands embedded in the files, and will exe-

  cute them for the user, if desired.  TN3270 commands can be executed as

  well, if this program is available on your system.

NOTES

  The Hytelnet software is now being used in more places, and for more

  purposes than was originally envisioned.

  The IBM PC version of Hytelnet uses Neil Larson's HYPERRES hypertext

  browser.  This program uses the same file format as HYPERRES, and it

  is possible to plug-and-play other HYPERRES databases as well.

COMMANDS

  Use the cursor keys to move around in Hytelnet. The up and down arrows

  move you from one highlighted link to another.  Use the right arrow (or

  return) to follow a link, and use the left arrow to come back.  You

  can also use hjkl (vi's cursor keys).

  Other commands include:

  m    Return to the main menu (the first screen you see when you start

       Hytelnet)

How to Install The Desktop Internet Reference

- The Desktop Internet Reference is a Windows Help file and uses

- the program winhelp.exe, supplied with Microsoft Windows

- 3.x as a presentation utility.  You NEED Windows 3.x to use

- the Desktop Internet Reference.

* Quick Installation Directions:

    Copy the file DIR10.HLP to a directory where you want it to reside;

    most people copy it to C:\DIR10.  Then, create an icon in Program

    Manager by choosing "File" - "New" - "Program Item" and filling

    in the "Program Item Properties" with the following information:

        Description: Desktop Internet Reference

       Command Line: WINHELP C:\DIR10\DIR10.HLP

  Working directory: C:\DIR10

* Longer Installation Directions:

    - You first need to copy the Desktop Internet Reference file,

      DIR10.HLP, to a directory on your hard drive.

    - If you know how to use the File Manager, copy DIR10.HLP to

      a directory on your hard drive called "C:\DIR10"

      If you want to use DOS to copy the file: first type "C:", then

      type "MD C:\DIR10" and finally "COPY A:\DIR10.HLP C:\DIR10"

    - Load Windows up.  The Program Manager is the first thing

      you see when windows starts up.

    - From the Program Manager, use your mouse to click on FILE

      from the pull down menu.

    - Click on NEW.

    - A dialog box titled "New Program Object" appears.  Use your

      mouse to click on the OK button.

    - A new dialog box appears titled "Program Item Properties" and a

      cursor appears next to a label titled "Description"

    - Use the keyboard to type in "Desktop Internet Reference" - do not

      type the quotation marks!

    - Press the Tab key or use your mouse to move the cursor to

      the box which has the "Command Line" label to the left of it.

    - Use the keyboard to type in "WINHELP C:\DIR10\DIR10.HLP"

    - Press the Tab key or use your mouse to move the cursor to the

      box which has the "Working Directory" label to the left of it.

    - Use the keyboard to type in "C:\DIR10"

    - Press the Enter key or use your mouse to press the button

      labelled "OK"

    - A new icon titled "Desktop Internet Reference" appears.  Press

      return or double click the icon to run it.

 Enjoy!

Preface

    The composition of this booklet was originally started because the

Computer Science department at Widener University was in desperate need of

documentation describing the capabilities of this "great new Internet link" we

obtained.

    It's since grown into an effort to acquaint the reader with much of what's

currently available over the Internet. Aimed at the novice user, it attempts

to remain operating system "neutral" -- little information herein is specific

to Unix, VMS, or any other environment.  This booklet will, hopefully, be

usable by nearly anyone.

    Some typographical conventions are maintained throughout this guide. All

abstract items like possible filenames, usernames, etc., are all represented

in italics. Likewise, definite filenames and email addresses are represented

in a quoted `typewriter' font. A user's session is usually offset from the

rest of the paragraph, as such:

     prompt> command

          The results are usually displayed here.

    The purpose of this booklet is two-fold: first, it's intended to serve as

a reference piece, which someone can easily grab on the fly and look something

up.  Also, it forms a foundation from which people can explore the vast

expanse of the Internet.  Zen and the Art of the Internet doesn't spend a

significant amount of time on any one point; rather, it provides enough for

people to learn the specifics of what his or her local system offers.

    One warning is perhaps in order -- this territory we are entering can

become a fantastic time-sink. Hours can slip by, people can come and go, and

you'll be locked into Cyberspace. Remember to do your work!

    With that, I welcome you, the new user, to The Net.

Acknowledgements

    Certain sections in this booklet are not my original work -- rather, they

are derived from documents that were available on the Internet and already

aptly stated their areas of concentration. The chapter on Usenet is, in large

part, made up of what's posted monthly to news.announce.newusers, with some

editing and rewriting.  Also, the main section on archie was derived from

`whatis.archie' by Peter Deutsch of the McGill University Computing Centre.

It's available via anonymous FTP from archie.mcgill.ca. Much of what's in the

telnet section came from an impressive introductory document put together by

SuraNet. Some definitions in the one are from an excellent glossary put

together by Colorado State University.

    This guide would not be the same without the aid of many people on The

Net, and the providers of resources that are already out there.  I'd like to

thank the folks who gave this a read-through and returned some excellent

comments, suggestions, and criticisms, and those who provided much-needed

information on the fly. Glee Willis deserves particular mention for all of his

work; this guide would have been considerably less polished without his help.

1  Network Basics

    We are truly in an information society.  Now more than ever, moving vast

amounts of information quickly across great distances is one of our most

pressing needs.  From small one-person entrepreneurial efforts, to the largest

of corporations, more and more professional people are discovering that the

only way to be successful in the '90s and beyond is to realize that technology

is advancing at a break-neck pace -- and they must somehow keep up. Likewise,

researchers from all corners of the earth are finding that their work thrives

in a networked environment. Immediate access to the work of colleagues and a

"virtual" library of millions of volumes and thousands of papers affords them

the ability to encorporate a body of knowledge heretofore unthinkable. Work

groups can now conduct interactive conferences with each other, paying no heed

to physical location -- the possibilities are endless.

    You have at your fingertips the ability to talk in "real-time" with

someone in Japan, send a 2,000-word short story to a group of people who will

critique it for the sheer pleasure of doing so, see if a Macintosh sitting in

a lab in Canada is turned on, and find out if someone happens to be sitting in

front of their computer (logged on) in Australia, all inside of thirty

minutes. No airline (or tardis, for that matter) could ever match that travel

itinerary.

    The largest problem people face when first using a network is grasping all

that's available.  Even seasoned users find themselves surprised when they

discover a new service or feature that they'd never known even existed. Once

acquainted with the terminology and sufficiently comfortable with making

occasional mistakes, the learning process will drastically speed up.

    Getting where you want to go can often be one of the more difficult

aspects of using networks.  The variety of ways that places are named will

probably leave a blank stare on your face at first.  Don't fret; there is a

method to this apparent madness.

    If someone were to ask for a home address, they would probably expect a

street, apartment, city, state, and zip code. That's all the information the

post office needs to deliver mail in a reasonably speedy fashion.  Likewise,

computer addresses have a structure to them. The general form is:

     a person's email address on a computer: user@somewhere.domain

     a computer's name: somewhere.domain

    The user portion is usually the person's account name on the system,

though it doesn't have to be.  somewhere.domain tells you the name of a

6                                              Zen and the Art of the Internet

system or location, and what kind of organization it is. The trailing domain

is often one of the following:

com          Usually a company or other commercial institution or

             organization, like Convex Computers (`convex.com').

edu          An educational institution, e.g.  New York University, named

             `nyu.edu'.

gov          A government site; for example, NASA is `nasa.gov'.

mil          A military site, like the Air Force (`af.mil').

net          Gateways and other administrative hosts for a network (it does

             not mean all of the hosts in a network).(1)  One such gateway is

             `near.net'.

org          This is a domain reserved for private organizations, who don't

             comfortably fit in the other classes of domains.  One example

             is the Electronic Frontier Foundation (see Section 8.3.3 [EFF],

             page 66), named `eff.org'.

    Each country also has its own top-level domain.  For example, the us

domain includes each of the fifty states.  Other countries represented with

domains include:

au           Australia

ca           Canada

fr           France

uk           The United Kingdom.  These also have sub-domains of things

             like `ac.uk' for academic sites and `co.uk' for commercial ones.

    The proper terminology for a site's domain name (somewhere.domain above)

is its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). It is usually selected to give a

clear indication of the site's organization or sponsoring agent. For example,

the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's FQDN is `mit.edu'; similarly,

Apple Computer's domain name is `apple.com'.  While such obvious names are

usually the norm, there are the occasional exceptions that are ambiguous

enough to mislead -- like `vt.edu', which on first impulse one might surmise

is an educational institution of some sort in Vermont; not so. It's actually

the domain name for Virginia Tech. In most cases it's relatively easy to glean

the meaning of a domain name_such confusion is far from the norm.

1.2  Internet Numbers

    Every single machine on the Internet has a unique address,2 called its

Internet number or IP Address.  It's actually a 32-bit number, but is most

commonly represented as four numbers joined by periods (`.'), like

147.31.254.130.  This is sometimes also called a dotted quad; there are

literally thousands of different possible dotted quads.  The ARPAnet (the

mother to today's Internet) originally only had the capacity to have up to 256

systems on it because of the way each system was addressed. In the early

eighties, it became clear that things would fast outgrow such a small limit;

the 32-bit addressing method was born, freeing thousands of host numbers.

    Each piece of an Internet address (like 192) is called an "octet,"

representing one of four sets of eight bits.  The first two or three pieces

(e.g. 192.55.239) represent the network that a system is on, called its

subnet. For example, all of the computers for Wesleyan University are in the

subnet 129.133.  They can have numbers like 129.133.10.10, 129.133.230.19, up

to 65 thousand possible combinations (possible computers).

    IP addresses and domain names aren't assigned arbitrarily -- that would

lead to unbelievable confusion.  An application must be filed with the

Network Information Center (NIC), either electronically (to

hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil) or via regular mail.

1.3  Resolving Names and Numbers

    Ok, computers can be referred to by either their FQDN or their Internet

address.  How can one user be expected to remember them all?

    They aren't.  The Internet is designed so that one can use either method.

Since humans find it much more natural to deal with words than numbers in most

cases, the FQDN for each host is mapped to its Internet number.  Each domain

is served by a computer within that domain, which provides all of the

necessary information to go from a domain name to an IP address, and vice-

versa. For example, when someone refers to foosun.bar.com, the resolver knows

that it should ask the system foovax.bar.com about systems in bar.com.  It

asks what Internet address foosun.bar.com has; if the name foosun.bar.com

really exists, foovax will send back its number.  All of this "magic" happens

behind the scenes.

_________________________________

 2  At least one address, possibly two or even three -- but we won't go into

    that.

8                                              Zen and the Art of the Internet

    Rarely will a user have to remember the Internet number of a site

(although often you'll catch yourself remembering an apparently obscure

number, simply because you've accessed the system frequently).  However, you

will remember a substantial number of FQDNs.  It will eventually reach a point

when you are able to make a reasonably accurate guess at what domain name a

certain college, university, or company might have, given just their name.

1.4  The Networks

Internet     The Internet is a large "network of networks."   There is no one

             network known as The Internet; rather, regional nets like

             SuraNet, PrepNet, NearNet, et al., are all inter-connected (nay,

             "inter-networked") together into one great living thing,

             communicating at amazing speeds with the TCP/IP protocol.  All

             activity takes place in "real-time."

UUCP         The UUCP network is a loose association of systems all

             communicating with the `UUCP' protocol. (UUCP stands for `Unix-

             to-Unix Copy Program'.) It's based on two systems connecting to

             each other at specified intervals, called polling, and executing

             any work scheduled for either of them. Historically most UUCP was

             done with Unix equipment, although the software's since been

             implemented on other platforms (e.g. VMS). For example, the

             system oregano polls the system basil once every two hours. If

             there's any mail waiting for oregano, basil will send it at that

             time; likewise, oregano will at that time send any jobs waiting

             for basil.

BITNET       BITNET (the "Because It's Time Network") is comprised of systems

             connected by point-to-point links, all running the NJE protocol.

             It's continued to grow, but has found itself suffering at the

             hands of the falling costs of Internet connections.  Also, a

             number of mail gateways are in place to reach users on other

             networks.

1.5  The Physical Connection

    The actual connections between the various networks take a variety of

forms. The most prevalent for Internet links are 56k leased lines (dedicated

telephone lines carrying 56kilobit-per-second connections) and T1 links

(special phone lines with 1Mbps connections). Also installed are T3 links,

acting as backbones between major locations to carry a massive 45Mbps load of

traffic.

Chapter 1: Network Basics                                                    9

    These links are paid for by each institution to a local carrier (for

example, Bell Atlantic owns PrepNet, the main provider in Pennsylvania).  Also

available are SLIP connections, which carry Internet traffic (packets) over

high-speed modems.

    UUCP links are made with modems (for the most part), that run from 1200

baud all the way up to as high as 38.4Kbps.  As was mentioned in Section 1.4

[The Networks], page 8, the connections are of the store-and-forward variety.

Also in use are Internet-based UUCP links (as if things weren't already

confusing enough!). The systems do their UUCP traffic over TCP/IP connections,

which give the UUCP-based network some blindingly fast "hops,"  resulting in

better connectivity for the network as a whole. UUCP connections first became

popular in the 1970's, and have remained in wide-spread use ever since. Only

with UUCP can Joe Smith correspond with someone across the country or around

the world, for the price of a local telephone call.

    BITNET links mostly take the form of 9600bps modems connected from site to

site.   Often places have three or more links going;  the majority, however,

look to "upstream" sites for their sole link to the network.

2  Electronic Mail

    The desire to communicate is the essence of networking.  People have

always wanted to correspond with each other in the fastest way possible, short

of normal conversation. Electronic mail (or email) is the most prevalent

application of this in computer networking.  It allows people to write back

and forth without having to spend much time worrying about how the message

actually gets delivered.  As technology grows closer and closer to being a

common part of daily life, the need to understand the many ways it can be

utilized and how it works, at least to some level, is vital.

2.1  Email Addresses

    Electronic mail is hinged around the concept of an address; the section on

Networking Basics made some reference to it while introducing domains. Your

email address provides all of the information required to get a message to you

from anywhere in the world. An address doesn't necessarily have to go to a

human being. It could be an archive server,(1) a list of people, or even

someone's pocket pager.  These cases are the exception to the norm -- mail to

most addresses is read by human beings.

2.1.1  %@!.: Symbolic Cacophony

    Email addresses usually appear in one of two forms -- using the Internet

format which contains `@', an "at"-sign, or using the UUCP format which

contains `!', an exclamation point, also called a "bang."  The latter of the

two, UUCP "bang" paths, is more restrictive, yet more clearly dictates how the

mail will travel.

    To reach Jim Morrison on the system south.america.org, one would address

the mail as `jm@south.america.org'. But if Jim's account was on a UUCP site

named brazil, then his address would be `brazil!jm'. If it's possible (and one

exists), try to use the Internet form of an address; bang paths can fail if an

intermediate site in the path happens to be down. There is a growing trend for

UUCP sites to register Internet domain names, to help alleviate the problem of

path failures.

    Another symbol that enters the fray is `%' -- it acts as an extra

"routing" method.  For example, if the UUCP site  dream  is connected to

12                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

south.america.org, but doesn't have an Internet domain name of its own, a user

debbie on dream can be reached by writing to the address

     debbie%dream@south.america.org

The form is significant. This address says that the local system should first

send the mail to south.america.org.  There the address debbie%dream will turn

into debbie@dream, which will hopefully be a valid address. Then

south.america.org will handle getting the mail to the host dream, where it

will be delivered locally to debbie.

    All of the intricacies of email addressing methods are fully covered in

the book !%@::  A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing and Networks

published by O'Reilly and Associates, as part of their Nutshell Handbook

series.  It is a must for any active email user.  Write to nuts@ora.com for

ordering information.

2.1.2  Sending and Receiving Mail

    We'll make one quick diversion from being OS-neuter here, to show you what

it will look like to send and receive a mail message on a Unix system. Check

with your system administrator for specific instructions related to mail at

your site.

    A person sending the author mail would probably do something like this:

     % mail brendan@cs.widener.edu

     Subject: print job's stuck

     I typed `print babe.gif' and it didn't work! Why??

The next time the author checked his mail, he would see it listed in his

mailbox as:

     % mail

     "/usr/spool/mail/brendan": 1 messages 1 new 1 unread

      U  1 joeuser@foo.widene Tue May  5 20:36   29/956   print job's stuck

     ?

which gives information on the sender of the email, when it was sent, and the

subject of the message. He would probably use the `reply' command of Unix mail

to send this response:

Chapter 2: Electronic Mail                                                  13

     ? r

     To: joeuser@foo.widener.edu

     Subject: Re: print job's stuck

     You shouldn't print binary files like GIFs to a printer!

     Brendan

    Try sending yourself mail a few times, to get used to your system's

mailer. It'll save a lot of wasted aspirin for both you and your system

administrator.

2.1.3  Anatomy of a Mail Header

    An electronic mail message has a specific structure to it that's common

across every type of computer system.2 A sample would be:

     From bush@hq.mil Sat May 25 17:06:01 1991

     Received: from hq.mil by house.gov with SMTP id AA21901

       (4.1/SMI for dan@house.gov); Sat, 25 May 91 17:05:56 -0400

     Date: Sat, 25 May 91 17:05:56 -0400

     From: The President <bush@hq.mil>

     Message-Id: <9105252105.AA06631@hq.mil>

     To: dan@senate.gov

     Subject: Meeting

     Hi Dan .. we have a meeting at 9:30 a.m. with the Joint Chiefs.  Please

     don't oversleep this time.

The first line, with `From' and the two lines for `Received:' are usually not

very interesting.  They give the "real" address that the mail is coming from

(as opposed to the address you should reply to, which may look much

different), and what places the mail went through to get to you.  Over the

Internet, there is always at least one `Received:' header and usually no more

than four or five.  When a message is sent using UUCP, one `Received:' header

is added for each system that the mail passes through.  This can often result

in more than a dozen `Received:' headers.  While they help with dissecting

problems in mail delivery, odds are the average user will never want to see

them.  Most mail programs will filter out this kind of "cruft" in a header.

    The `Date:' header contains the date and time the message was sent.

Likewise, the "good" address (as opposed to "real" address) is laid out in the

`From:' header.  Sometimes it won't include the full name of the person (in

    info on how to get copies of the various RFCs.

14                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

this case `The President'), and may look different, but it should always

contain an email address of some form.

    The `Message-ID:' of a message is intended mainly for tracing mail

routing, and is rarely of interest to normal users.  Every `Message-ID:' is

guaranteed to be unique.

    `To:' lists the email address (or addresses) of the recipients of the

message.  There may be a `Cc:' header, listing additional addresses. Finally,

a brief subject for the message goes in the `Subject:' header.

    The exact order of a message's headers may vary from system to system, but

it will always include these fundamental headers that are vital to proper

delivery.

2.1.4  Bounced Mail

    When an email address is incorrect in some way (the system's name is

wrong, the domain doesn't exist, whatever), the mail system will bounce the

message back to the sender, much the same way that the Postal Service does

when you send a letter to a bad street address.  The message will include the

reason for the bounce; a common error is addressing mail to an account name

that doesn't exist.  For example, writing to Lisa Simpson at Widener

University's Computer Science department will fail, because she doesn't have

an account.(3)

     From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON>

     Date: Sat, 25 May 91 16:45:14 -0400

     To: mg@gracie.com

     Cc: Postmaster@cs.widener.edu

     Subject: Returned mail: User unknown

        ----- Transcript of session follows -----

     While talking to cs.widener.edu:

     >>> RCPT To:<lsimpson@cs.widener.edu>

     <<< 550 <lsimpson@cs.widener.edu>... User unknown

     550 lsimpson... User unknown

As you can see, a carbon copy of the message (the `Cc:' header entry) was sent

to the postmaster of Widener's CS department.  The Postmaster  is responsible

for maintaining a reliable mail system on his system.  Usually postmasters at

sites will attempt to aid you in getting your mail where it's

supposed to go.  If a typing error was made, then try re-sending the message.

If you're sure that the address is correct, contact the postmaster of the site

directly and ask him how to properly address it.

    The message also includes the text of the mail, so you don't have to

retype everything you wrote.

        ----- Unsent message follows -----

     From: Matt Groening <mg@gracie.com>

     Subject: Scripting your future episodes

     Reply-To: writing-group@gracie.com

     : verbiage :

The full text of the message is returned intact, including any headers that

were added. This can be cut out with an editor and fed right back into the

mail system with a proper address, making redelivery a relatively painless

process.

2.2  Mailing Lists

    People that share common interests are inclined to discuss their hobby or

interest  at  every  available  opportunity.   One  modern  way to aid in this

exchange of information is by using a mailing list -- usually an email address

that  redistributes  all  mail  sent  to  it  back  out  to  a  list  of

addresses.  For example, the Sun Managers mailing list (of interest to people

that administer computers manufactured by Sun) has the address `sun-

managers@eecs.nwu.edu'. Any mail sent to that address will "explode" out to

each person named in a file maintained on a computer at Northwestern

University.

    Administrative tasks (sometimes referred to as administrivia) are often

handled through other addresses, typically with the suffix `-request'.  To

continue the above, a request to be added to or deleted from the Sun Managers

list should be sent to `sun-managers-request@eecs.nwu.edu'.

    When in doubt, try to write to the `-request' version of a mailing list

address first; the other people on the list aren't interested in your desire

to be added or deleted, and can certainly do nothing to expedite your request.

Often if the administrator of a list is busy (remember, this is all peripheral

to real jobs and real work), many users find it necessary to ask again and

again, often with harsher and harsher language, to be removed from a list.

16                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

This does nothing more than waste traffic and bother everyone else receiving

the messages. If, after a reasonable amount of time, you still haven't

succeeded to be removed from a mailing list, write to the postmaster at that

site and see if they can help.

    Exercise caution when replying to a message sent by a mailing list.  If

you wish to respond to the author only, make sure that the only address you're

replying to is that person, and not the entire list. Often messages of the

sort "Yes, I agree with you completely!" will appear on a list, boring the

daylights out of the other readers. Likewise, if you explicitly do want to

send the message to the whole list, you'll save yourself some time by checking

to make sure it's indeed headed to the whole list and not a single person.

    A list of the currently available mailing lists is available in at least

two places; the first is in a file on ftp.nisc.sri.com called `interest-

groups' under the `netinfo/' directory.  It's updated fairly regularly, but is

large (presently around 700K), so only get it every once in a while. The other

list is maintained by Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu), and is posted in

parts to the newsgroup news.lists semi-regularly. (See Chapter 4 [Usenet

News], page 29, for info on how to read that and other newsgroups.)

2.2.1  Listservs

    On BITNET there's an automated system for maintaining discussion lists

called the listserv.  Rather than have an already harried and overworked human

take care of additions and removals from a list, a program performs these and

other tasks by responding to a set of user-driven commands.

    Areas  of  interest  are  wide  and  varied -- ETHICS-L  deals with ethics

in  computing,  while  ADND-L  has  to  do  with  a  role-playing  game.   A

full  list  of  the  available  BITNET  lists  can  be  obtained  by  writing

to `LISTSERV@BITNIC.BITNET' with a body containing the command

     list  global

However, be sparing in your use of this -- see if it's already on your system

somewhere. The reply is quite large.

    The most fundamental command is `subscribe'. It will tell the listserv to

add the sender to a specific list. The usage is

     subscribe  foo-l  Your Real Name

It will respond with a message either saying that you've been added to the

list, or that the request has been passed on to the system on which the list

is actually maintained.

Chapter 2: Electronic Mail                                                  17

    The mate to `subscribe' is, naturally, `unsubscribe'.  It will remove a

given address from a BITNET list.  It, along with all other listserv commands,

can be abbreviated -- `subscribe' as `sub',  `unsubscribe' as `unsub', etc.

For a full list of the available listserv commands, write to

`LISTSERV@BITNIC.BITNET', giving it the command `help'.

    As an aside, there have been implementations of the listserv system for

non-BITNET hosts (more specifically, Unix systems). One of the most complete

is available on cs.bu.edu in the directory `pub/listserv'.

3  Anonymous FTP

    FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the primary method of transferring files

over the Internet. On many systems, it's also the name of the program that

implements the protocol.  Given proper permission, it's possible to copy a

file from a computer in South Africa to one in Los Angeles at very fast speeds

(on the order of 5-10K per second).  This normally requires either a user id

on both systems or a special configuration set up by the system

administrator(s).

    There is a good way around this restriction -- the anonymous FTP service.

It essentially will let anyone in the world have access to a certain area of

disk space in a non-threatening way.  With this, people can make files

publicly available with little hassle.  Some systems have dedicated entire

disks or even entire computers to maintaining extensive archives of source

code and information.   They include gatekeeper.dec.com (Digital),

wuarchive.wustl.edu (Washington University in Saint Louis), and

archive.cis.ohio-state.edu (The Ohio State University).

    The process involves the "foreign" user (someone not on the system itself)

creating an FTP connection and logging into the system as the user

`anonymous', with an arbitrary password:

     Name (foo.site.com:you): anonymous

     Password: jm@south.america.org

Custom and netiquette dictate that people respond to the Password: query with

an email address so that the sites can track the level of FTP usage, if they

desire.  (See Section 2.1 [Addresses], page 11 for information on email

addresses).

    The speed of the transfer depends on the speed of the underlying link. A

site that has a 9600bps SLIP connection will not get the same throughput as a

system with a 56k leased line (see Section 1.5 [The Physical Connection], page

8, for more on what kinds of connections can exist in a network). Also, the

traffic of all other users on that link will affect performance.  If there are

thirty people all FTPing from one site simultaneously, the load on the system

(in addition to the network connection) will degrade the overall throughput of

the transfer.

3.1  FTP Etiquette

    Lest we forget, the Internet is there for people to do work. People using

the network and the systems on it are doing so for a purpose, whether it be

20                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

research, development, whatever.  Any heavy activity takes away from the

overall performance of the network as a whole.

    The effects of an FTP connection on a site and its link can vary; the

general rule of thumb is that any extra traffic created detracts from the

ability of that site's users to perform their tasks. To help be considerate of

this, it's highly recommended that FTP sessions be held only after normal

business hours for that site, preferably late at night. The possible effects

of a large transfer will be less destructive at 2 a.m. than 2 p.m. Also,

remember that if it's past dinner time in Maine, it's still early afternoon in

California -- think in terms of the current time at the site that's being

visited, not of local time.

3.2  Basic Commands

    While there have been many extensions to the various FTP clients out

there, there is a de facto "standard" set that everyone expects to work. For

more specific information, read the manual for your specific FTP program. This

section will only skim the bare minimum of commands needed to operate an FTP

session.

3.2.1  Creating the Connection

    The actual command to use FTP will vary among operating systems; for the

sake of clarity, we'll use `FTP' here, since it's the most general form.

    There are two ways to connect to a system -- using its hostname or its

Internet number.  Using the hostname is usually preferred.  However, some

sites aren't able to resolve  hostnames properly,  and have no alternative.

We'll assume you're able to use hostnames for simplicity's sake. The form is

     ftp  somewhere.domain

See Section 1.1 [Domains], page 5 for help with reading and using domain names

(in the example below, somewhere.domain is ftp.uu.net).

    You must first know the name of the system you want to connect to. We'll

use `ftp.uu.net' as an example. On your system, type:

     ftp ftp.uu.net

(the actual syntax will vary depending on the type of system the connection's

being made from). It will pause momentarily then respond with the message

     Connected to ftp.uu.net.

and an initial prompt will appear:

Chapter 3: Anonymous FTP                                                    21

     220 uunet FTP server (Version 5.100 Mon Feb 11 17:13:28 EST 1991) ready.

     Name (ftp.uu.net:jm):

to which you should respond with anonymous:

     220 uunet FTP server (Version 5.100 Mon Feb 11 17:13:28 EST 1991) ready.

     Name (ftp.uu.net:jm): anonymous

The system will then prompt you for a password; as noted previously, a good

response is your email address:

     331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.

     Password: jm@south.america.org

     230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.

     ftp>

The password itself will not echo. This is to protect a user's security when

he or she is using a real account to FTP files between machines. Once you

reach the ftp> prompt, you know you're logged in and ready to go.

3.2.2  dir

    At the `ftp>' prompt, you can type a number of commands to perform various

functions.  One example is `dir' -- it will list the files in the current

directory. Continuing the example from above:

     ftp> dir

     200 PORT command successful.

     150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

     226 Transfer complete.

     5414 bytes received in 1.1 seconds (4.9 Kbytes/s)

     ftp>

The file `newthisweek.Z' was specifically included because we'll be using it

later.  Just for general information, it happens to be a listing of all of the

22                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

files added to UUNET's archives during the past week.

    The directory shown is on a machine running the Unix operating system --

the dir command will produce different results on other operating systems

(e.g. TOPS, VMS, et al.). Learning to recognize different formats will take

some time. After a few weeks of traversing the Internet, it proves easier to

see, for example, how large a file is on an operating system you're otherwise

not acquainted with.

    With many FTP implementations, it's also possible to take the output of

dir and put it into a file on the local system with

     ftp> dir n* outfilename

the contents of which can then be read outside of the live FTP connection;

this is particularly useful for systems with very long directories (like

ftp.uu.net).  The above example would put the names of every file that begins

with an `n' into the local file outfilename.

3.2.3  cd

    At the beginning of an FTP session, the user is in a "top-level"

directory. Most things are in directories below it (e.g. `/pub'). To change

the current directory, one uses the cd command.  To change to the directory

`pub', for example, one would type

     ftp> cd pub

which would elicit the response

     250 CWD command successful.

Meaning the "Change Working Directory" command (`cd') worked properly. Moving

"up" a directory is more system-specific -- in Unix use the command `cd ..',

and in VMS, `cd [-]'.

3.2.4  get and put

    The actual transfer is performed with the get and put commands.  To get a

file from the remote computer to the local system, the command takes the form:

     ftp> get filename

where filename is the file on the remote system. Again using ftp.uu.net as an

example, the file `newthisweek.Z' can be retrieved with

Chapter 3: Anonymous FTP                                                    23

     ftp> get newthisweek.Z

     200 PORT command successful.

     150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for newthisweek.Z (42390 bytes).

     226 Transfer complete.

     local: newthisweek.Z remote: newthisweek.Z

     42553 bytes received in 6.9 seconds (6 Kbytes/s)

     ftp>

The section below on using binary mode instead of ASCII will describe why this

particular choice will result in a corrupt and subsequently unusable file.

    If, for some reason, you want to save a file under a different name (e.g.

your system can only have 14-character filenames, or can only have one dot in

the name), you can specify what the local filename should be by providing get

with an additional argument

     ftp> get newthisweek.Z uunet-new

which will place the contents of the file `newthisweek.Z' in `uunet-new' on

the local system.

    The transfer works the other way, too.  The put command will transfer a

file from the local system to the remote system. If the permissions are set up

for an FTP session to write to a remote directory, a file can be sent with

     ftp> put filename

As with get, put will take a third argument, letting you specify a different

name for the file on the remote system.

3.2.4.1  ASCII vs Binary

    In the example above, the file `newthisweek.Z' was transferred, but

supposedly not correctly.  The reason is this:  in a normal ASCII transfer

(the default), certain characters are translated between systems, to help make

text files more readable. However, when binary files (those containing non-

ASCII characters) are transferred, this translation should not take place. One

example is a binary program -- a few changed characters can render it

completely useless.

    To avoid this problem, it's possible to be in one of two modes -- ASCII or

binary. In binary mode, the file isn't translated in any way. What's on the

remote system is precisely what's received.  The commands to go between the

two modes are:

     ftp> ascii

     200 Type set to A.   (Note the A, which signifies ASCII mode.)

     ftp> binary

     200 Type set to I.   (Set to Image format, for pure binary transfers.)

24                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

Note that each command need only be done once to take effect; if the user

types binary, all transfers in that session are done in binary mode (that is,

unless ascii is typed later).

    The transfer of `newthisweek.Z' will work if done as:

     ftp> binary

     200 Type set to I.

     ftp> get newthisweek.Z

     200 PORT command successful.

     150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for newthisweek.Z (42390 bytes).

     226 Transfer complete.

     local: newthisweek.Z remote: newthisweek.Z

     42390 bytes received in 7.2 seconds (5.8 Kbytes/s)

          Note:  The file size (42390) is different from that done in ASCII

          mode (42553) bytes; and the number 42390 matches the one in the

          listing of UUNET's top directory.  We can be relatively sure that

          we've received the file without any problems.

3.2.4.2  mget and mput

    The commands mget and mput allow for multiple file transfers using

wildcards to get several files, or a whole set of files at once, rather than

having to do it manually one by one.  For example, to get all files that begin

with the letter `f', one would type

     ftp> mget f*

Similarly, to put all of the local files that end with .c:

     ftp> mput *.c

    Rather than reiterate what's been written a hundred times before, consult

a local manual for more information on wildcard matching (every DOS manual,

for example, has a section on it).

    Normally, FTP assumes a user wants to be prompted for every file in a mget

or mput operation. You'll often need to get a whole set of files and not have

each of them confirmed -- you know they're all right. In that case, use the

prompt command to turn the queries off.

     ftp> prompt

     Interactive mode off.

Likewise, to turn it back on, the prompt command should simply be issued

again.

3.3  The archie Server

    A group of people at McGill University in Canada got together and created

a query system called archie. It was originally formed to be a quick and easy

way to scan the offerings of the many anonymous FTP sites that are maintained

around the world.  As time progressed, archie grew to include other valuable

services as well.

    The archie service is accessible through an interactive telnet session,

email queries, and command-line and X-window clients. The email responses can

be used along with FTPmail servers for those not on the Internet.  (See [FTP-

by-Mail Servers], page 77, for info on using FTPmail servers.)

3.3.1  Using archie Today

    Currently, archie tracks the contents of over 800 anonymous FTP archive

sites containing over a million files stored across the Internet.

Collectively, these files represent well over 50 gigabytes of information,

with new entries being added daily.

    The archie server automatically updates the listing information from each

site about once a month.  This avoids constantly updating the databases, which

could waste network resources, yet ensures that the information on each site's

holdings is reasonably up to date.

    To access archie interactively,  telnet to one of the existing servers.(1)

They include

       archie.ans.net (New York, USA)

       archie.rutgers.edu (New Jersey, USA)

       archie.sura.net (Maryland, USA)

       archie.unl.edu (Nebraska, USA)

       archie.mcgill.ca (the first Archie server, in Canada)

       archie.funet.fi (Finland)

       archie.au (Australia)

       archie.doc.ic.ac.uk (Great Britain)

At the login: prompt of one of the servers, enter `archie' to log in.  A

greeting will be displayed, detailing information about ongoing work in the

archie project; the user will be left at a `archie>' prompt, at which he may

enter commands.  Using `help' will yield instructions on using the `prog'

command to make queries, `set' to control various aspects of the server's

_________________________________

operation, et al.  Type `quit' at the prompt to leave archie.  Typing the

query `prog vine.tar.Z' will yield a list of the systems that offer the source

to the X-windows program vine; a piece of the information returned looks like:

     Host ftp.uu.net   (137.39.1.9)

     Last updated 10:30  7 Jan 1992

         Location: /packages/X/contrib

           FILE       rw-r--r--     15548  Oct  8 20:29   vine.tar.Z

           FILE       rw-rw-r--     15548  Nov  8 03:25   vine.tar.Z

3.3.2  archie Clients

    There are two main-stream archie clients, one called (naturally enough)

`archie',  the other `xarchie' (for X-Windows).   They query the archie

databases and yield a list of systems that have the requested file(s)

available for anonymous FTP, without requiring an interactive session to the

server. For example, to find the same information you tried with the server

command `prog', you could type

     % archie vine.tar.Z

     Host athene.uni-paderborn.de

         Location: /local/X11/more_contrib

                 FILE -rw-r--r--       18854  Nov 15 1990  vine.tar.Z

     Host emx.utexas.edu

         Location: /pub/mnt/source/games

                 FILE -rw-r--r--       12019  May  7 1988  vine.tar.Z

     Host export.lcs.mit.edu

         Location: /contrib

                 FILE -rw-r--r--       15548  Oct  9 00:29  vine.tar.Z

    Note that your system administrator may not have installed the archie

clients yet; the source is available on each of the archie servers, in the

directory `archie/clients'.

    Using the X-windows client is much more intuitive -- if it's installed,

just read its man page and give it a whirl. It's essential for the networked

desktop.

3.3.3  Mailing archie

    Users limited to email connectivity to the Internet should send a message

to the address `archie@archie.mcgill.ca' with the single word help in the body

of the message. An email message will be returned explaining how to use the

email archie server, along with the details of using FTPmail. Most of the

commands offered by the telnet interface can be used with the mail server.

3.3.4  The whatis database

    In addition to offering access to anonymous FTP listings,  archie also

permits access to the whatis description database.  It includes the names and

brief synopses for over 3,500 public domain software packages, datasets and

informational documents located on the Internet.

    Additional whatis databases are scheduled to be added in the future.

Planned offerings include listings for the names and locations of online

library catalog programs, the names of publicly accessible electronic mailing

lists, compilations of Frequently Asked Questions lists, and archive sites for

the most popular Usenet newsgroups. Suggestions for additional descriptions or

locations databases are welcomed and should be sent to the archie developers

at `archie-l@cs.mcgill.ca'.

4  Usenet News

    The first thing to understand about Usenet is that it is widely

misunderstood.  Every day on Usenet the "blind men and the elephant"

phenomenon appears, in spades.  In the opinion of the author, more flame wars

(rabid arguments) arise because of a lack of understanding of the nature of

Usenet than from any other source.  And consider that such flame wars arise,

of necessity,  among people who are on Usenet.  Imagine, then, how poorly

understood Usenet must be by those outside!

    No essay on the nature of Usenet can ignore the erroneous impressions held

by many Usenet users. Therefore, this section will treat falsehoods first.

Keep reading for truth. (Beauty, alas, is not relevant to Usenet.)

4.1  What Usenet Is

    Usenet is the set of machines that exchange articles tagged with one or

more universally-recognized labels, called newsgroups (or "groups" for short).

(Note that the term `newsgroup' is correct, while `area', `base', `board',

`bboard', `conference', `round table', `SIG', etc. are incorrect. If you want

to be understood, be accurate.)

4.2  The Diversity of Usenet

    If the above definition of Usenet sounds vague, that's because it is. It

is almost impossible to generalize over all Usenet sites in any non-trivial

way. Usenet encompasses government agencies, large universities, high schools,

businesses of all sizes, home computers of all descriptions, etc.

    Every administrator controls his own site.  No one has any real control

over any site but his own. The administrator gets his power from the owner of

the system he administers. As long as the owner is happy with the job the

administrator is doing, he can do whatever he pleases, up to and including

cutting off Usenet entirely. C'est la vie.

4.3  What Usenet Is Not

Usenet is not an organization.

            Usenet has no central authority.  In fact, it has no central

            anything. There is a vague notion of "upstream" and "downstream"

30                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

            related to the direction of high-volume news flow. It follows

            that, to the extent that "upstream" sites decide what traffic they

            will carry for their "downstream" neighbors, that "upstream" sites

            have some influence on their neighbors. But such influence is

            usually easy to circumvent, and heavy-handed manipulation

            typically results in a backlash of resentment.

Usenet is not a democracy.

            A democracy can be loosely defined as "government of the people,

            by the people, for the people."  However, as explained above,

            Usenet is not an organization, and only an organization can be run

            as a democracy.   Even a democracy must be organized, for if it

            lacks a means of enforcing the peoples' wishes, then it may as

            well not exist.

            Some people wish that Usenet were a democracy. Many people pretend

            that it is. Both groups are sadly deluded.

Usenet is not fair.

            After all, who shall decide what's fair? For that matter, if

            someone is behaving unfairly, who's going to stop him?  Neither

            you nor I, that's certain.

Usenet is not a right.

            Some people misunderstand their local right of "freedom of speech"

            to mean that they have a legal right to use others' computers to

            say what they wish in whatever way they wish, and the owners of

            said computers have no right to stop them.

            Those people are wrong.  Freedom of speech also means freedom not

            to speak; if I choose not to use my computer to aid your speech,

            that is my right.  Freedom of the press belongs to those who own

            one.

Usenet is not a public utility.

            Some Usenet sites are publicly funded or subsidized.  Most of

            them, by plain count, are not. There is no government monopoly on

            Usenet, and little or no control.

Usenet is not a commercial network.

            Many Usenet sites are academic or government organizations; in

            fact, Usenet originated in academia. Therefore, there is a Usenet

            custom of keeping commercial traffic to a minimum.  If such

            commercial traffic is generally considered worth carrying, then it

            may be grudgingly tolerated. Even so, it is usually separated

            somehow from non-commercial traffic; see comp.newprod.

Chapter 4: Usenet News                                                      31

Usenet is not the Internet.

            The Internet is a wide-ranging network, parts of which are

            subsidized by various governments. The Internet carries many kinds

            of traffic; Usenet is only one of them.  And the Internet is only

            one of the various networks carrying Usenet traffic.

Usenet is not a Unix network, nor even an ASCII network.

            Don't assume that everyone is using "rn" on a Unix machine. There

            are Vaxen running VMS, IBM mainframes, Amigas, and MS-DOS PCs

            reading and posting to Usenet.  And, yes, some of them use

            (shudder) EBCDIC. Ignore them if you like, but they're out there.

Usenet is not software.

            There are dozens of software packages used at various sites to

            transport and read Usenet articles.  So no one program or package

            can be called "the Usenet software."

            Software designed to support Usenet traffic can be (and is) used

            for other kinds of communication, usually without risk of mixing

            the two.  Such private communication networks are typically kept

            distinct from Usenet by the invention of newsgroup names different

            from the universally-recognized ones.

Usenet is not a UUCP network.

            UUCP is a protocol (some might say protocol suite, but that's a

            technical point) for sending data over point-to-point connections,

            typically using dialup modems. Usenet is only one of the various

            kinds of traffic carried via UUCP, and UUCP is only one of the

            various transports carrying Usenet traffic.

    Well, enough negativity.

4.4  Propagation of News

    In the old days,  when UUCP over long-distance dialup lines was the

dominant means of article transmission, a few well-connected sites had real

influence in determining which newsgroups would be carried where.  Those sites

called themselves "the backbone."

    But things have changed. Nowadays, even the smallest Internet site has

connectivity the likes of which the backbone admin of yesteryear could only

dream.  In addition, in the U.S., the advent of cheaper long-distance calls

and high-speed modems has made long-distance Usenet feeds thinkable for

smaller companies.  There is only one pre-eminent UUCP transport site

32                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

today in the U.S., namely UUNET. But UUNET isn't a player in the propagation

wars, because it never refuses any traffic -- it gets paid by the minute,

after all; to refuse based on content would jeopardize its legal status as an

enhanced service provider.

    All of the above applies to the U.S. In Europe, different cost structures

favored the creation of strictly controlled hierarchical organizations with

central registries. This is all very unlike the traditional mode of U.S. sites

(pick a name, get the software, get a feed, you're on).  Europe's "benign

monopolies", long uncontested, now face competition from looser organizations

patterned after the U.S. model.

4.5  Group Creation

    As discussed above, Usenet is not a democracy.  Nevertheless, currently

the most popular way to create a new newsgroup involves a "vote" to determine

popular support for (and opposition to) a proposed newsgroup. See Appendix C

[Newsgroup Creation], page 79, for detailed instructions and guidelines on the

process involved in making a newsgroup.

    If you follow the guidelines, it is probable that your group will be

created and will be widely propagated. However, due to the nature of Usenet,

there is no way for any user to enforce the results of a newsgroup vote (or

any other decision, for that matter).  Therefore, for your new newsgroup to be

propagated widely, you must not only follow the letter of the guidelines; you

must also follow its spirit.  And you must not allow even a whiff of shady

dealings or dirty tricks to mar the vote.

    So, you may ask: How is a new user supposed to know anything about the

"spirit" of the guidelines?  Obviously, she can't.  This fact leads inexorably

to the following recommendation:

     If you're a new user, don't try to create a new newsgroup alone.

If you have a good newsgroup idea, then read the news.groups newsgroup for a

while (six months, at least) to find out how things work. If you're too

impatient to wait six months, then you really need to learn; read news.groups

for a year instead. If you just can't wait, find a Usenet old hand to run the

vote for you.

    Readers may think this advice unnecessarily strict.  Ignore it at your

peril. It is embarrassing to speak before learning. It is foolish to jump into

a society you don't understand with your mouth open. And it is futile to try

to force your will on people who can tune you out with the press of a key.

Chapter 4: Usenet News                                                      33

4.6  If You're Unhappy:

    Property rights being what they are,  there is no higher authority on

Usenet than the people who own the machines on which Usenet traffic is

carried. If the owner of the machine you use says, "We will not carry alt.sex

on this machine," and you are not happy with that order, you have no Usenet

recourse. What can we outsiders do, after all?

    That doesn't mean you are without options.  Depending on the nature of

your site, you may have some internal political recourse.  Or you might find

external pressure helpful. Or, with a minimal investment, you can get a feed

of your own from somewhere else. Computers capable of taking Usenet feeds are

down in the $500 range now, Unix-capable boxes are going for under $2000, and

there are at least two Unix lookalikes in the $100 price range.

    No matter what, appealing to "Usenet" won't help.  Even if those who read

such an appeal regarding system administration are sympathetic to your cause,

they will almost certainly have even less influence at your site than you do.

    By the same token, if you don't like what some user at another site is

doing, only the administrator and/or owner of that site have any authority to

do anything about it. Persuade them that the user in question is a problem for

them, and they might do something (if they feel like it).  If the user in

question is the administrator or owner of the site from which he or she posts,

forget it; you can't win.  Arrange for your newsreading software to ignore

articles from him or her if you can, and chalk one up to experience.

4.7  The History of Usenet (The ABCs)

    In the beginning, there were conversations, and they were good.  Then came

Usenet in 1979, shortly after the release of V7 Unix with UUCP; and it was

better.  Two Duke University grad students in North Carolina, Tom Truscott and

Jim Ellis, thought of hooking computers together to exchange information with

the Unix community.  Steve Bellovin, a grad student at the University of North

Carolina, put together the first version of the news software using shell

scripts and installed it on the first two sites:  unc and duke.  At the

beginning of 1980 the network consisted of those two sites and phs (another

machine at Duke), and was described at the January 1980 Usenix conference in

Boulder, CO.(1)  Steve Bellovin later rewrote the scripts into C programs, but

they were never released beyond unc and duke. Shortly thereafter, Steve Daniel

34                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

did another implementation in the C programming language for public

distribution.  Tom Truscott made further modifications, and this became the

"A" news release.

    In 1981 at the University of California at Berkeley, grad student Mark

Horton and high school student Matt Glickman rewrote the news software to add

functionality and to cope with the ever increasing volume of news -- "A" news

was intended for only a few articles per group per day.  This rewrite was the

"B" news version. The first public release was version 2.1 in 1982; all

versions before 2.1 were considered in beta test.  As The Net grew, the news

software was expanded and modified.  The last version maintained and released

primarily by Mark was 2.10.1.

    Rick Adams, then at the Center for Seismic Studies, took over coordination

of the maintenance and enhancement of the news software with the 2.10.2

release in 1984. By this time, the increasing volume of news was becoming a

concern, and the mechanism for moderated groups was added to the software at

2.10.2.  Moderated groups were inspired by ARPA mailing lists and experience

with other bulletin board systems.  In late 1986, version 2.11 of news was

released, including a number of changes to support a new naming structure for

newsgroups, enhanced batching and compression, enhanced ihave/sendme control

messages, and other features.  The current release of news is 2.11, patchlevel

19.

    A new version of news, becoming known as "C" news, has been developed at

the University of Toronto by Geoff Collyer and Henry Spencer.  This version is

a rewrite of the lowest levels of news to increase article processing speed,

decrease article expiration processing and improve the reliability of the news

system through better locking,  etc.  The package was released to The Net in

the autumn of 1987.  For more information, see the paper News Need Not Be

Slow, published in the Winter 1987 Usenix Technical Conference proceedings.

    Usenet software has also been ported to a number of platforms, from the

Amiga and IBM PCs all the way to minicomputers and mainframes.

4.8  Hierarchies

    Newsgroups are organized according to their specific areas of

concentration.  Since the groups are in a tree structure, the various areas

are called hierarchies. There are seven major categories:

`comp'       Topics of interest to both computer professionals and hobbyists,

             including topics in computer science, software sources, and

             information on hardware and software systems.

Chapter 4: Usenet News                                                      35

`misc'       Group addressing themes not easily classified into any of the

             other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple

             categories.  Subjects include fitness, job-hunting, law, and

             investments.

`sci'        Discussions marked by special knowledge relating to research in

             or application of the established sciences.

`soc'        Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing.

             Included are discussions related to many different world

             cultures.

`talk'       Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long

             discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts of

             generally useful information.

`news'       Groups concerned with the news network, group maintenance, and

             software.

`rec'        Groups oriented towards hobbies and recreational activities

    These  "world"  newsgroups  are  (usually)  circulated  around  the

entire Usenet -- this implies world-wide distribution.  Not all groups

actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. The European Usenet and Eunet

sites take only a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and

controversial "noise" groups are often not carried by many sites in the U.S.

and  Canada (these groups are primarily under the `talk' and `soc'

classifications). Many sites do not carry some or all of the comp.binaries

groups because of the typically large size of the posts in them (being actual

executable programs).

    Also available are a number of "alternative" hierarchies:

`alt'        True anarchy; anything and everything can and does appear;

             subjects include sex, the Simpsons, and privacy.

`gnu'        Groups concentrating on interests and software with the GNU

             Project of the Free Software Foundation.  For further info on

             what the FSF is, see Section 8.3.4 [FSF], page 68.

`biz'        Business-related groups.

4.9  Moderated vs Unmoderated

    Some newsgroups insist that the discussion remain focused and on-target;

to serve this need, moderated groups came to be.  All articles posted to a

moderated group get mailed to the group's moderator. He or she periodically

(hopefully sooner than later) reviews the posts, and then either posts them

36                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

individually to Usenet, or posts a composite digest of the articles for the

past day or two. This is how many mailing list gateways work (for example, the

Risks Digest).

4.10  news.groups & news.announce.newgroups

    Being a good net.citizen includes being involved in the continuing growth

and evolution of the Usenet system.  One part of this involvement includes

following the discussion in the groups news.groups and the notes in

news.announce.newgroups. It is there that discussion goes on about the

creation of new groups and destruction of inactive ones.  Every person on

Usenet is allowed and encouraged to vote on the creation of a newsgroup.

4.11  How Usenet Works

    The transmission of Usenet news is entirely cooperative. Feeds are

generally provided out of good will and the desire to distribute news

everywhere.  There are places which provide feeds for a fee (e.g.  UUNET), but

for the large part no exchange of money is involved.

    There are two major transport methods, UUCP and NNTP.  The first is mainly

modem-based and involves the normal charges for telephone calls. The second,

NNTP, is the primary method for distributing news over the Internet.

    With UUCP, news is stored in batches on a site until the neighbor calls to

receive the articles, or the feed site happens to call.  A list of groups

which the neighbor wishes to receive is maintained on the feed site.  The

Cnews system compresses its batches, which can dramatically reduce the

transmission time necessary for a relatively heavy newsfeed.

    NNTP, on the other hand, offers a little more latitude with how news is

sent.  The traditional store-and-forward method is, of course, available.

Given the "real-time" nature of the Internet, though, other methods have been

devised.  Programs now keep constant connections with their news neighbors,

sending news nearly instantaneously, and can handle dozens of simultaneous

feeds, both incoming and outgoing.

    The transmission of a Usenet article is centered around the unique

`Message-ID:' header.  When an NNTP site offers an article to a neighbor, it

says it has that specific Message ID. If the neighbor finds it hasn't received

the article yet, it tells the feed to send it through; this is repeated for

each and every article that's waiting for the neighbor.  Using unique IDs

Chapter 4: Usenet News                                                      37

helps prevent a system from receiving five copies of an article from each of

its five news neighbors, for example.

    Further information on how Usenet works with relation to the various

transports is available in the documentation for the Cnews and NNTP packages,

as well as in RFC-1036, the Standard for Interchange of USENET Messages and

RFC-977, Network News Transfer Protocol: A Proposed Standard for the Stream-

Based Transmission of News. The RFCs do tend to be rather dry reading,

particularly to the new user.  See  [RFCs], page 73 for information on

retrieving RFCs.

4.12  Mail Gateways

    A natural progression is for Usenet news and electronic mailing lists to

somehow become merged -- which they have, in the form of news gateways. Many

mailing lists are set up to "reflect" messages not only to the readership of

the list, but also into a newsgroup.  Likewise, posts to a newsgroup can be

sent to the moderator of the mailing list, or to the entire mailing list. Some

examples of this in action are comp.risks (the Risks Digest) and

comp.dcom.telecom (the Telecom Digest).

    This method of propagating mailing list traffic has helped solve the

problem of a single message being delivered to a number of people at the same

site -- instead, anyone can just subscribe to the group.  Also, mailing list

maintenance is lowered substantially, since the moderators don't have to be

constantly removing and adding users to and from the list.  Instead, the

people can read and not read the newsgroup at their leisure.

4.13  Usenet "Netiquette"

    There are many traditions with Usenet, not the least of which is dubbed

netiquette -- being polite and considerate of others. If you follow a few

basic guidelines, you, and everyone that reads your posts, will be much

happier in the long run.

4.13.1  Signatures

    At the end of most articles is a small blurb called a person's signature.

In Unix this file is named `.signature' in the person's login directory -- it

will vary for other operating systems.  It exists to provide information about

how to get in touch with the person posting the article, including

38                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

their email address, phone number, address, or where they're located. Even so,

signatures have become the graffiti of computers. People put song lyrics,

pictures, philosophical quotes, even advertisements in their ".sigs". (Note,

however, that advertising in your signature will more often than not get you

flamed until you take it out.)

    Four lines will suffice -- more is just extra garbage for Usenet sites to

carry along with your article, which is supposed to be the intended focus of

the reader.  Netiquette dictates limiting oneself to this "quota" of four --

some people make signatures that are ten lines or even more, including

elaborate ASCII drawings of their hand-written signature or faces or even the

space shuttle. This is not cute, and will bother people to no end.

    Similarly, it's not necessary to include your signature -- if you forget

to append it to an article, don't worry about it.  The article's just as good

as it ever would be, and contains everything you should want to say.  Don't

re-post the article just to include the signature.

4.13.2  Posting Personal Messages

    If mail to a person doesn't make it through, avoid posting the message to

a newsgroup. Even if the likelihood of that person reading the group is very

high, all of the other people reading the articles don't give a whit what you

have to say to Jim Morrison. Simply wait for the person to post again and

double-check the address, or get in touch with your system administrator and

see if it's a problem with local email delivery. It may also turn out that

their site is down or is having problems, in which case it's just necessary to

wait until things return to normal before contacting Jim.

4.13.3  Posting Mail

    In the interests of privacy, it's considered extremely bad taste to post

any email that someone may have sent, unless they explicitly give you

permission to redistribute it.  While the legal issues can be heavily debated,

most everyone agrees that email should be treated as anything one would

receive via normal snailmail,(2) with all of the assumed rights that are

carried with it.

Chapter 4: Usenet News                                                      39

4.13.4  Test Messages

    Many people, particularly new users, want to try out posting before

actually taking part in discussions. Often the mechanics of getting messages

out is the most difficult part of Usenet.  To this end, many, many users find

it necessary to post their tests to "normal" groups (for example, news.admin

or comp.mail.misc). This is considered a major netiquette faux pas in the

Usenet world.  There are a number of groups available, called test groups,

that exist solely for the purpose of trying out a news system, reader, or even

new signature. They include

     alt.test

     gnu.gnusenet.test

     misc.test

some of which will generate auto-magic replies to your posts to let you know

they made it through. There are certain denizens of Usenet that frequent the

test groups to help new users out. They respond to the posts, often including

the article so the poster can see how it got to the person's site. Also, many

regional hierarchies have test groups, like phl.test in Philadelphia.

    By all means, experiment and test -- just do it in its proper place.

4.13.5  Famous People Appearing

    Every once in a while, someone says that a celebrity is accessible through

"The Net";  or, even more entertaining, an article is forged to appear to be

coming  from  that  celebrity.   One  example  is  Stephen  Spielberg -- the

rec.arts.movies readership was in an uproar for two weeks following a couple

of posts supposedly made by Mr.  Spielberg.  (Some detective work revealed it

to be a hoax.)

    There are a few well-known people that are acquainted with Usenet and

computers in general -- but the overwhelming majority are just normal people.

One should act with skepticism whenever a notable personality is "seen" in a

newsgroup.

4.13.6  Summaries

    Authors of articles occasionally say that readers should reply by mail and

they'll summarize. Accordingly, readers should do just that -- reply via mail.

Responding with a followup article to such an article defeats the intention of

the author. She, in a few days, will post one article containing the

highlights of the responses she received. By following up to the whole group,

the author may not read what you have to say.

40                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

    When creating a summary of the replies to a post, try to make it as

reader-friendly as possible.  Avoid just putting all of the messages received

into one big file. Rather, take some time and edit the messages into a form

that contains the essential information that other readers would be interested

in.

    Also, sometimes people will respond but request to remain anonymous (one

example is the employees of a corporation that feel the information's not

proprietary, but at the same time want to protect themselves from political

backlash).  Summaries should honor this request accordingly by listing the

`From:' address as `anonymous' or `(Address withheld by request)'.

4.13.7  Quoting

    When following up to an article, many newsreaders provide the facility to

quote the original article with each line prefixed by `> ', as in

     In article <1232@foo.bar.com>, sharon@foo.bar.com wrote:

     > I agree, I think that basketweaving's really catching on,

     > particularly in Pennsylvania.  Here's a list of every person

     > in PA that currently engages in it publicly:

     : etc :

    This is a severe example (potentially a horribly long article), but proves

a point.  When you quote another person, edit out whatever isn't directly

applicable to your reply.(3)  This gives the reader of the new article a

better idea of what points you were addressing.  By including the entire

article, you'll only annoy those reading it.  Also, signatures in the original

aren't necessary; the readers already know who wrote it (by the attribution).

    Avoid being tedious with responses -- rather than pick apart an article,

address it in parts or as a whole. Addressing practically each and every word

in an article only proves that the person responding has absolutely nothing

better to do with his time.

    If a "war" starts (insults and personal comments get thrown back and

forth), take it into email -- exchange email with the person you're arguing

with. No one enjoys watching people bicker incessantly.

4.13.8  Crossposting

    The `Newsgroups:' line isn't limited to just one group -- an article can

be posted in a list of groups. For instance, the line

     Newsgroups: sci.space,comp.simulation

posts the article to both the groups sci.space and comp.simulation. It's

usually safe to crosspost to up to three or four groups.  To list more than

that is considered "excessive noise."

    It's also suggested that if an article is crossposted a `Followup-To:'

header be included. It should name the group to which all additional

discussion should be directed to. For the above example a possible `Followup-

To:' would be

     Followup-To: sci.space

which would make all followups automatically be posted to just sci.space,

rather than both sci.space and comp.simulation.  If every response made with a

newsreader's "followup" command should go to the person posting the article no

matter what, there's also a mechanism worked in to accommodate.  The Followup-

To: header should contain the single word `poster':

     Followup-To: poster

Certain newsreaders will use this to sense that a reply should never be posted

back onto The Net.  This is often used with questions that will yield a

summary of information later, a vote, or an advertisement.

4.13.9  Recent News

    One should avoid posting "recent" events -- sports scores, a plane crash,

or whatever people will see on the evening news or read in the morning paper.

By the time the article has propagated across all of Usenet, the "news" value

of the article will have become stale. (This is one case for the argument that

`Usenet news' is a misnomer.(4))

4.13.10  Quality of Postings

    How you write and present yourself in your articles is important.  If you

have terrible spelling, keep a dictionary near by.  If you have trouble with

grammar and punctuation, try to get a book on English grammar and composition

(found in many bookstores and at garage sales). By all means pay attention to

what you say -- it makes you who you are on The Net.

    Likewise, try to be clear in what you ask. Ambiguous or vague questions

often lead to no response at all, leaving the poster discouraged.  Give as

much essential information as you feel is necessary to let people help you,

but keep it within limits.  For instance, you should probably include the

operating system of your computer in the post if it's needed, but don't tell

everybody what peripherals you have hanging off of it.

4.13.11  Useful Subjects

    The `Subject:' line of an article is what will first attract people to

read it -- if it's vague or doesn't describe what's contained within, no one

will read the article. At the same time, `Subject:' lines that're too wordy

tend to be irritating. For example:

Good         Subject: Building Emacs on a Sun Sparc under 4.1

Good         Subject: Tryin' to find Waldo in NJ.

Bad          Subject: I can't get emacs to work !!!

Bad          Subject: I'm desperately in search of the honorable Mr. Waldo

             in the state of...

Simply put, try to think of what will best help the reader when he or she

encounters your article in a newsreading session.

4.13.12  Tone of Voice

    Since common computers can't portray the inflection or tone in a person's

voice, how articles are worded can directly affect the response to them.  If

you say

     Anybody using a Vic-20 should go buy themselves a life.

you'll definitely get some responses -- telling you to take a leap. Rather

than be inflammatory, phrase your articles in a way that rationally expresses

your opinion, like

     What're the practical uses of a Vic-20 these days?

Chapter 4: Usenet News                                                      43

which presents yourself as a much more level-headed individual.

    Also, what case (upper or lower) you use can indicate how you're trying to

speak -- netiquette dictates that if you USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, people will

think you're "shouting."  Write as you would in a normal letter to a friend,

following traditional rules of English (or whatever language you happen to

speak).

4.13.13  Computer Religion

    No matter what kind of computer a person is using,  theirs is always the

best and most efficient of them all. Posting articles asking questions like

`What computer should I buy? An Atari ST or an Amiga?' will lead only to

fervent arguments over the merits and drawbacks of each brand. Don't even ask

The Net -- go to a local user group, or do some research of your own like

reading some magazine reviews.  Trying to say one computer is somehow better

than another is a moot point.

4.14  Frequently Asked Questions

    A number of groups include Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) lists, which

give the answers to questions or points that have been raised time and time

again in a newsgroup.  They're intended to help cut down on the redundant

traffic in a group.  For example, in the newsgroup alt.tv.simpsons, one

recurring question is `Did you notice that there's a different blackboard

opening at the beginning of every Simpsons episode?' As a result, it's part of

the FAQ for that group.

    Usually, FAQ lists are posted at the beginning of each month, and are set

to expire one month later (when, supposedly, the next FAQ will be published).

Nearly every FAQ is also crossposted to news.answers, which is used as a

Usenet repository for them.

4.14.1  The Pit-Manager Archive

    MIT, with Jonathan Kamens, has graciously dedicated a machine to the

archiving and storage of the various periodic postings that are peppered

throughout the various Usenet groups. To access them, FTP to the system pit-

manager.mit.edu and look in the directory `/pub/usenet'.

5  Telnet

    Telnet is the main Internet protocol for creating a connection with a

remote machine.  It gives the user the opportunity to be on one computer

system and do work on another, which may be across the street or thousands of

miles away. Where modems are limited, in the majority, by the quality of

telephone lines and a single connection, telnet provides a connection that's

error-free and nearly always faster than the latest conventional modems.

5.1  Using Telnet

    As with FTP (see Section 3.2.2 [Anonymous FTP], page 21), the actual

command for negotiating a telnet connection varies from system to system. The

most common is telnet itself, though. It takes the form of:

     telnet somewhere.domain

To be safe, we'll use your local system as a working example. By now, you

hopefully know your site's domain name. If not, ask or try to figure it out.

You'll not get by without it.

    To open the connection, type

     telnet your.system.name

If the system were wubba.cs.widener.edu, for example, the command would look

like

     telnet wubba.cs.widener.edu

The system will respond with something similar to

     Trying 147.31.254.999...

     Connected to wubba.cs.widener.edu.

     Escape character is '^]'.

The escape character, in this example ^] (Control-]), is the character that

will let you go back to the local system to close the connection, suspend it,

etc.  To close this connection, the user would type ^], and respond to the

telnet> prompt with the command close.  Local documentation should be checked

for information on specific commands,  functions,  and escape character that

can be used.

5.1.1  Telnet Ports

    Many telnet clients also include a third option, the port on which the

46                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

connection should take place.  Normally, port 23 is the default telnet port;

the user never has to think about it. But sometimes it's desirable to telnet

to a different port on a system, where there may be a service available, or to

aid in debugging a problem. Using

     telnet somewhere.domain port

will connect the user to the given port on the system somewhere.domain. Many

libraries use this port method to offer their facilities to the general

Internet community;  other services are also available.  For instance,  one

would type

     telnet martini.eecs.umich.edu 3000

to connect to the geographic server at the University of Michigan (see Section

5.5.6 [Geographic Server], page 50). Other such port connections follow the

same usage.

5.2  Publicly Accessible Libraries

    Over the last several years, most university libraries have switched from

a manual (card) catalog system to computerized library catalogs.  The

automated systems provide users with easily accessible and up-to-date

information about the books available in these libraries.  This has been

further improved upon with the advent of local area networks, dialup modems,

and wide area networks. Now many of us can check on our local library's

holdings or that of a library halfway around the world!

    Many, many institutions of higher learning have made their library

catalogs available for searching by anyone on the Internet. They include

Boston University, the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL), and

London University King's College.

    To include a listing of some of the existing sites would not only be far

too long for this document, it would soon be out of date.  Instead, several

lists are being maintained and are available either by mail or via FTP. Also,

the Internet Resource Guide (IRG) also describes a few libraries that are

accessible -- see Section 9.1 [IRG], page 71 for further information.

    Art St. George and Ron Larsen are maintaining a list of Internet-

accessible libraries and databases often referred to as "the St. George

directory."  It began with only library catalogs but has expanded to include

sections on campus-wide information systems, and even bulletin board systems

that are not on the Internet.  The library catalog sections are divided into

those that are free, those that charge, and international (i.e. non-U.S.)

catalogs; they are arranged by state, province, or country within each

section.  There is also a section giving dialup information for some of the

library catalogs.  It's available for FTP (see Section 3.2.2

Chapter 5: Telnet                                                           47

[Anonymous FTP], page 21) on nic.cerf.net in the directory

`cerfnet/cerfnet_info/library_catalog'.  The file `internet-catalogs' has a

date suffix; check for the most current date. The information is updated

periodically.

    Billy Barron, Systems Manager at the University of North Texas, produces a

directory as an aid to his user community.  It complements the St. George

guide by providing a standard format for all systems which lists the Internet

address, login instructions, the system vendor, and logoff information.  The

arrangement is alphabetic by organization name.  It's available for FTP on

vaxb.acs.unt.edu in the subdirectory `library' as the file `libraries.txt'.

    For announcements of new libraries being available and discussion on

related topics, consult the Usenet newsgroup comp.internet.library (see

Chapter 4 [Usenet News], page 29 to learn how to read news).

5.3  The Cleveland Freenet

    Freenets are open-access, free, community computer systems.  One such

system is the Cleveland Freenet, sponsored by CWRU (Case Western Reserve

University).  Anyone and everyone is welcome to join and take part in the

exciting project -- that of a National Telecomputing Public Network, where

everyone benefits. There's no charge for the registration process and no

charge to use the system.

    To register, telnet to any one of

     freenet-in-a.cwru.edu

     freenet-in-b.cwru.edu

     freenet-in-c.cwru.edu

After you're connected, choose the entry on the menu that signifies you're a

guest user. Another menu will follow; select `Apply for an account', and

you'll be well on your way to being a FreeNet member.

    You will need to fill out a form and send it to them through the Postal

Service -- your login id and password will be created in a few days. At that

point you're free to use the system as you wish.  They provide multi-user

chat, email, Usenet news, and a variety of other things to keep you occupied

for hours on end.

5.4  Directories

    There are a few systems that are maintained to provide the Internet

community with access to lists of information -- users, organizations, etc.

They range from fully dedicated computers with access to papers and research

results, to a system to find out about the faculty members of a university.

5.4.1  Knowbot

    Knowbot is a "master directory" that contains email address information

from the NIC WHOIS database (see Section 6.4.1 [Whois], page 57), the PSI

White Pages Pilot Project, the NYSERNET X.500 database and MCI Mail.  Most of

these services are email registries themselves, but Knowbot provides a very

comfortable way to access all of them in one place.  Telnet to

nri.reston.va.us on port 185.

5.4.2  White Pages

    PSI maintains a directory of information on individuals.  It will list the

person's name,  organization,  and email address if it is given.  Telnet to

wp.psi.net and log in as `fred'. The White Pages Project also includes an

interface to use Xwindows remotely.

5.5  Databases

    For information on database services, see Section 7.2 [Commercial

Databases], page 60.  Not all databases on the Internet require payment for

use, though.  There do exist some, largely research-driven databases, which

are publicly accessible.  New ones spring up regularly.

    To find out more about the databases in this section, contact the people

directly responsible for them. Their areas of concentration and the software

used to implement them are widely disparate, and are probably beyond the

author's expertise.  Also, don't forget to check with your local library --

the reference librarian there can provide information on conventional

resources, and possibly even those available over the Internet (they are

becoming more common).

5.5.1  Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL)

    The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL), in association with

CARL Systems Inc., operates a public access catalog of services. Offered are a

number of library databases, including searches for government periodicals,

book reviews, indices for current articles, and access to to other library

Chapter 5: Telnet                                                           49

databases around the country. Other services are available to CARL members

including an online encyclopedia. Telnet to pac.carl.org, or write to

`help@carl.org' for more details.

5.5.2  PENpages

    PENpages is an agriculturally-oriented database administered by

Pennsylvania State University. Information entered into PENpages is provided

by numerous sources including the Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture, Rutgers

University, and Penn State.  Easy-to-use menus guide users to information

ranging from cattle and agricultural prices to current weather information,

from health information to agricultural news from around the nation.  A

keyword search option also allows users to search the database for related

information and articles.  The database is updated daily, and a listing of

most recent additions is displayed after login.  Telnet to psupen.psu.edu and

log in as the user `PNOTPA'.

5.5.3  Clemson Univ. Forestry & Agricultural Network

    Clemson maintains a database similar to PENpages in content, but the

information provided tends to be localized to the Southeastern United States.

A menu-driven database offers queries involving the weather, food, family, and

human resources. Telnet to eureka.clemson.edu and log in as `PUBLIC'. You need

to be on a good VT100 emulator (or a real VT terminal).

5.5.4  University of Maryland Info Database

    The Computer Science department of the University of Maryland maintains a

repository of information on a wide variety of topics.  They wish to give a

working example of how network technology can (and should) provide as much

information as possible to those who use it. Telnet to info.umd.edu and log in

as `info'. The information contained in the database is accessible through a

screen-oriented interface, and everything therein is available via anonymous

FTP.

    There is a mailing list used to discuss the UMD Info Database, welcoming

suggestions for new information, comments on the interface the system

provides, and other related topics.  Send mail to listserv@umdd.umd.edu with a

body of

     subscribe INFO-L Your Full Name

forecasts for cities in the U.S., a national weather summary, ski conditions,

earthquake and hurricane updates, and a listing of severe weather conditions.

Telnet to madlab.sprl.umich.edu on port 3000 to use the system.

5.5.6  Geographic Name Server

    A geographic database listing information for cities in the United States

and some international locations is maintained by Merit, Inc. The database is

searchable by city name,  zip code,  etc.  It will respond with a lot of

information: the area code, elevation, time zone, and longitude and latitude

are included. For example, a query of `19013' yields

     0 Chester

     1 42045 Delaware

     2 PA Pennsylvania

     3 US United States

     F 45 Populated place

     L 39 50 58 N  75 21 22 W

To use the server, telnet to martini.eecs.umich.edu on port 3000.  The command

`help' will yield further instructions, along with an explanation for each of

the fields in a reponse.

5.5.7  FEDIX -- Minority Scholarship Information

    FEDIX is an on-line information service that links the higher education

community and the federal government to facilitate research, education, and

services.  The system provides accurate and timely federal agency information

to colleges, universities, and other research organizations.  There are no

registration fees and no access charges for FEDIX whatsoever.

Chapter 5: Telnet                                                           51

computer networks.  NED is an object-oriented database which contains

52                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

extensive information for nearly 132,000 extragalactic objects taken from

about major catalogs of galaxies, quasars, infrared and radio sources. NED

provides positions, names, and other basic data (e.g. magnitude types, sizes

and redshifts as well as bibliographic references and abstracts). Searches can

be done by name, around a name, and on an astronomical position. NED contains

a tutorial which guides the user through the retrieval process.  Telnet to

ipac.caltech.edu and log in as `ned'.

6  Various Tools

    New and interesting ways to use the Internet are being dreamed up every

day.  As they gain wide-spread use, some methods become near-standard (or

actual written standard) tools for Internet users to take advantage of. A few

are detailed here; there are undoubtedly others, and new ideas spring up all

the time.  An active user of the Internet will discover most of the more

common ones in time. Usually, these services are free. See Chapter 7

[Commercial Services], page 59 for applications that are commercially

available over the Internet.

    Usenet is often used to announce a new service or capability on the

Internet. In particular, the groups comp.archives and comp.protocols.tcp-ip

are good places to look.  Information will drift into other areas as word

spreads.  See Chapter 4 [Usenet News], page 29 for information on reading

news.

6.1  Finger

    On many systems there exists the `finger' command, which yield information

about each user that's currently logged in. This command also has extensions

for use over the Internet, as well.  Under normal circumstances, the command

is simply `finger' for a summary of who's logged into the local system, or

`finger username' for specific information about a user. It's also possible to

go one step further and go onto the network.  The general usage is

     finger @hostname

To see who's currently logged in at Widener University, for instance, use

     % finger @cs.widener.edu

     [cs.widener.edu]

     Login        Name               TTY Idle    When             Where

     brendan  Brendan Kehoe          p0       Fri 02:14  tattoo.cs.widene

     sven     Sven Heinicke          p1       Fri 04:16  xyplex3.cs.widen

To find out about a certain user, they can be fingered specifically (and need

not be logged in):

54                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

     % finger bart@cs.widener.edu

     No unread mail

     Project: To become a "fluff" cartoon character.

     Plan:

     Don't have a cow, man.

Please realize that some sites are very security conscious, and need to

restrict the information about their systems and users available to the

outside world. To that end, they often block finger requests from outside

sites -- so don't be surprised if fingering a computer or a user returns with

`Connection refused'.

6.2  Ping

    The `ping' command allows the user to check if another system is currently

"up" and running.  The general form of the command is `ping system'.(1) For

example,

     ping cs.widener.edu

will tell you if the main machine in Widener University's Computer Science lab

is currently online (we certainly hope so!).

    Many implementations of `ping' also include an option to let you see how

fast a link is running (to give you some idea of the load on the network).

For example:

     % ping -s cs.swarthmore.edu

     PING cs.swarthmore.edu: 56 data bytes

     64 bytes from 130.58.68.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=251 time=66 ms

     64 bytes from 130.58.68.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=45 ms

     64 bytes from 130.58.68.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=251 time=46 ms

     ^C

     --- cs.swarthmore.edu ping statistics ---

     3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss

     round-trip min/avg/max = 45/52/66 ms

This case tells us that for `cs.swarthmore.edu' it takes about 46 milliseconds

for a packet to go from Widener to Swarthmore College and back again.

_________________________________

 1  The usage will, again, vary.

Chapter 6: Various Tools                                                    55

It also gives the average and worst-case speeds, and any packet loss that may

have occurred (e.g. because of network congestion).

    While `ping' generally doesn't hurt network performance, you shouldn't use

it too often -- usually once or twice will leave you relatively sure of the

other system's state.

6.3  Talk

    Sometimes email is clumsy and difficult to manage when one really needs to

have an interactive conversation. The Internet provides for that as well, in

the form of talk. Two users can literally see each other type across thousands

of miles.

    To talk with Bart Simpson at Widener, one would type

     talk bart@cs.widener.edu

which would cause a message similar to the following to be displayed on Bart's

terminal:

     Message from Talk_Daemon@cs.widener.edu at 21:45 ...

     talk: connection requested by joe@ee.someplace.edu

     talk: respond with:  talk joe@ee.someplace.edu

Bart would, presumably, respond by typing `talk joe@ee.someplace.edu'.  They

could then chat about whatever they wished, with instantaneous response time,

rather than the write-and-wait style of email.  To leave talk, on many systems

one would type Ctrl-C (hold down the Control key and press `C'). Check local

documentation to be sure.

    There are two different versions of talk in common use today.  The first,

dubbed "old talk," is supported by a set of Unix systems (most notably, those

currently sold by Sun).  The second, ntalk (aka "new talk"), is more of the

standard.  If, when attempting to talk with another user, it responds with an

error about protocol families, odds are the incompatibilities between versions

of talk is the culprit.  It's up to the system administrators of sites which

use the old talk to install ntalk for their users.

6.4  The WHOIS Database

    The main WHOIS database is run at the Network Information Center (NIC).

The `whois' command will let you search a database of every registered domain

(e.g. `mit.edu') and of registered users. It's primarily used by system

postmasters or listowners to find the Points of Contact for a site, to let

56                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

them know of a problem or contact them for one reason or another.  You can

also find out their postal address.  For example:

     % whois mit.edu

     Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MIT.EDU             18.72.2.1

     Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT-DOM)                   MIT.EDU

Note that there are two entries for `mit.edu'; we'll go for the second.

     % whois mit-dom

     Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT-DOM) )  Mailing address

        Cambridge, MA 02139

        Domain Name: MIT.EDU  )  Domain name

        STRAWB.MIT.EDU                18.71.0.151

        W20NS.MIT.EDU                 18.70.0.160

        BITSY.MIT.EDU                 18.72.0.3

        LITHIUM.LCS.MIT.EDU           18.26.0.121

     To see this host record with registered users, repeat the command with a

     star ('*') before the name; or, use '%' to show JUST the registered

     users.

Much better!  Now this information (sought, possibly, by a system

administrator) can be used to find out how to notify MIT of a security issue

or problem with connectivity.

    Queries can be made for individuals as well; the following would yield an

entry for the author:

Included is the author's name, his handle (a unique sequence of letters and

numbers), information on how to contact him, and the last time the record was

modified in any way.

    Anyone can register with the whois database.  People who are

administrative or technical contacts for domains are registered automatically

when their domain applications are processed.   For normal users, one must

simply fill out a form from the NIC.  FTP to nic.ddn.mil and get the file

`netinfo/user-template.txt'.  The completed form should be mailed to

`registrar@nic.ddn.mil'.

6.4.1  Other Uses of WHOIS

    Also, many educational sites run WHOIS servers of their own, to offer

information about people who may be currently on the staff or attending the

institution.  To specify a WHOIS server, many implementations include some

sort of option or qualifier -- in VMS under MultiNet, it's `/HOST', in Unix `-

h'.  To receive information about using the Stanford server, one might use the

command

     whois -h stanford.edu help

    A large list of systems offering WHOIS services is being maintained by

Matt Power of MIT (mhpower@stan.mit.edu). It is available via anonymous FTP

7  Commercial Services

    Many services can be accessed through the Internet. As time progresses and

more outlets for commercial activity appear, once-restricted traffic (by the

NSFnet Acceptable Use Policy) may now flow freely.  Now that there are other

networks for that information to travel on, businesses are making their move.

7.1  Electronic Journals

    The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) publishes a hard-copy

directory of electronic journals, newsletters, and scholarly discussion lists.

It is a compilation of entries for hundreds of scholarly lists, dozens of

journals and newsletters, and a many "other" titles, including newsletter-

digests, into one reference source. Each entry includes instructions on how to

access the referenced publication or list.

    The documents are available electronically by sending the commands

     get ejournl1 directry

     get ejournl2 directry

to the server at `LISTSERV@OTTAWA.BITNET'.  See Section 2.2.1 [Listservs],

8  Things You'll Hear About

    There are certain things that you'll hear about shortly after you start

actively using the Internet.  Most people assume that everyone's familiar with

them, and they require no additional explanation.  If only that were true!

    This section addresses a few topics that are commonly encountered and

asked about as a new user explores Cyberspace. Some of them are directly

related to how the networks are run today; other points are simply interesting

to read about.

8.1  The Internet Worm

    On November 2, 1988, Robert Morris, Jr., a graduate student in Computer

Science at Cornell, wrote an experimental, self-replicating, self-propagating

program called a worm and injected it into the Internet.  He chose to release

it from MIT, to disguise the fact that the worm came from Cornell.  Morris

soon discovered that the program was replicating and reinfecting machines at a

much faster rate than he had anticipated -- there was a bug.  Ultimately, many

machines at locations around the country either crashed or became "catatonic."

When Morris realized what was happening, he contacted a friend at Harvard to

discuss a solution.  Eventually, they sent an anonymous message from Harvard

over the network, instructing programmers how to kill the worm and prevent

reinfection.   However, because the network route was clogged, this message

did not get through until it was too late. Computers were affected at many

sites, including universities, military sites, and medical research

facilities. The estimated cost of dealing with the worm at each installation

ranged from $200 to more than $53,000.(1)

    The program took advantage of a hole in the debug mode of the Unix

sendmail program, which runs on a system and waits for other systems to

connect to it and give it email, and a hole in the finger daemon fingerd,

which serves finger requests (see Section 6.1 [Finger], page 53).  People at

the University of California at Berkeley and MIT had copies of the program and

were actively disassembling it (returning the program back into its source

form) to try to figure out how it worked.

    Teams of programmers worked non-stop to come up with at least a temporary

fix, to prevent the continued spread of the worm.  After about twelve

hours, the team at Berkeley came up with steps that would help retard the

spread of the virus.  Another method was also discovered at Purdue and widely

published.  The information didn't get out as quickly as it could have,

however, since so many sites had completely disconnected themselves from the

network.

    After a few days, things slowly began to return to normalcy and everyone

wanted to know who had done it all.  Morris was later named in The New York

Times as the author (though this hadn't yet been officially proven, there was

a substantial body of evidence pointing to Morris).

    Robert T. Morris was convicted of violating the computer Fraud and Abuse

Act (Title 18), and sentenced to three years of probation, 400 hours of

community service, a fine of $10,050, and the costs of his supervision. His

appeal, filed in December, 1990, was rejected the following March.

8.2  The Cuckoo's Egg

    First in an article entitled "Stalking the Wily Hacker," and later in the

book The Cuckoo's Egg, Clifford Stoll detailed his experiences trying to track

down someone breaking into a system at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in

California.(2)

    A 75-cent discrepancy in the Lab's accounting records led Stoll on a chase

through California, Virginia, and Europe to end up in a small apartment in

Hannover, West Germany.  Stoll dealt with many levels of bureaucracy and red

tape, and worked with the FBI, the CIA, and the German Bundespost trying to

track his hacker down.

    The experiences of Stoll, and particularly his message in speaking

engagements, have all pointed out the dire need for communication between

parties on a network of networks.  The only way everyone can peacefully co-

exist in Cyberspace is by ensuring rapid recognition of any existing problems.

8.3  Organizations

    The indomitable need for humans to congregate and share their common

interests is also present in the computing world.  User groups exist around

the world, where people share ideas and experiences.  Similarly, there are

organizations which are one step "above" user groups; that is to say, they

exist to encourage or promote an idea or set of ideas, rather than support a

specific computer or application of computers.

8.3.1  The Association for Computing Machinery

    The Association for Computing Machinery (the ACM) was founded in 1947,

immediately after Eckert and Mauchly unveiled one of the first electronic

computers, the ENIAC, in 1946. Since then, the ACM has grown by leaps and

bounds, becoming one of the leading educational and scientific societies in

the computer industry.

    The ACM's stated purposes are:

  o  To advance the sciences and arts of information processing;

  o  To promote the free interchange of information about the sciences and

     arts of information processing both among specialists and among the

     public;

  o  To develop and maintain the integrity and competence of individuals

     engaged in the practices of the sciences and arts of information

     processing.

    Membership in the ACM has grown from seventy-eight in September, 1947, to

over 77,000 today. There are local chapters around the world, and many

colleges and universities endorse student chapters. Lecturers frequent these

meetings, which tend to be one step above the normal "user group" gathering.

A large variety of published material is also available at discounted prices

for members of the association.

    The ACM has a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that concentrate on

a certain area of computing, ranging from graphics to the Ada programming

language to security.  Each of the SIGs also publishes its own newsletter.

There is a Usenet group, comp.org.acm, for the discussion of ACM topics.  See

Chapter 4 [Usenet News], page 29 for more information on reading news.

8.3.2  Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility

    The CPSR is an alliance of computer professionals concentrating on certain

66                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

areas of the impact of computer technology on society.  It traces its history

to the fall of 1981, when several researchers in Palo Alto, California,

organized a lunch meeting to discuss their shared concerns about the

connection between computing and the nuclear arms race.  Out of that meeting

and the discussions which followed, CPSR was born, and has been active ever

since.(3)

    The national CPSR program focuses on the following project areas:

  o  Reliability and Risk This area reflects on the concern that overreliance

     on computing technology can lead to unacceptable risks to society.  It

     includes, but isn't limited to, work in analyzing military systems such

     as SDI.

  o  Civil Liberties and Privacy This project is concerned with such topics as

     the FBI National Crime Information Center, the growing use of databases

     by both government and private industry, the right of access to public

     information,  extension of First Amendment rights to electronic

     communication, and establishing legal protections for privacy of

     computerized information.

  o  Computers in the Workplace The CPSR Workplace Project has concentrated

     its attention on the design of software for the workplace, and

     particularly on the philosophy of "participatory design," in which

     software designers work together with users to ensure that systems meet

     the actual needs of that workplace.

  o  The 21st Century Project This is a coalition with other professional

     organizations working towards redirecting national research priorities

     from concentrating on military issues to anticipating and dealing with

     future problems as science and technology enter the next century.

the "electronic frontier" -- the Cyberspacial medium becoming ever-present in

today's society; to make it truly useful and beneficial not just to a

technical elite, but to everyone; and to do this in a way which is in keeping

with the society's highest traditions of the free and open flow of information

and communication.4

    The mission of the EFF is

  o  to engage in and support educational activities which increase popular

     understanding of the opportunities and challenges posed by developments

     in computing and telecommunications;

  o  to develop among policy-makers a better understanding of the issues

     underlying free and open telecommunications, and support the creation of

     legal and structural approaches which will ease the assimilation of these

     new technologies by society;

  o  to raise public awareness about civil liberties issues arising from the

     rapid advancement in the area of new computer-based communications media

     and, where necessary, support litigation in the public interest to

     preserve, protect, and extend First Amendment rights within the realm of

     computing and telecommunications technology;

  o  to encourage and support the development of new tools which will endow

     non-technical users with full and easy access to computer-based

     telecommunications;

    The Usenet newsgroups comp.org.eff.talk and comp.org.eff.news are

dedicated to discussion concerning the EFF. They also have mailing list

counterparts for those that don't have access to Usenet, eff-talk-

request@eff.org  and  eff-news-request@eff.org   The first is an informal

arena (aka a normal newsgroup) where anyone may voice his or her opinions.

The second, comp.org.eff.news, is a moderated area for regular postings from

the EFF in the form of EFFector Online.  To submit a posting for the EFFector

Online, or to get general information about the EFF, write to eff@eff.org.

8.3.4  The Free Software Foundation

    The Free Software Foundation was started by Richard Stallman (creator of

the popular GNU Emacs editor).  It is dedicated to eliminating restrictions on

copying, redistributing, and modifying software.

    The word "free" in their name does not refer to price; it refers to

freedom.  First, the freedom to copy a program and redistribute it to your

neighbors, so that they can use it as well as you.  Second, the freedom to

change a program, so that you can control it instead of it controlling you;

for this, the source code must be made available to you.

    The Foundation works to provide these freedoms by developing free

compatible replacements for proprietary software.  Specifically, they are

putting together a complete, integrated software system called "GNU" that is

upward-compatible with Unix.(5)  When it is released, everyone will be

permitted to copy it and distribute it to others.  In addition, it will be

distributed with source code, so you will be able to learn about operating

systems by reading it, to port it to your own machine, and to exchange the

changes with others.

    For more information on the Free Software Foundation and the status of the

GNU Project, or for a list of the current tasks that still need to be done,

write to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.

8.3.5  The League for Programming Freedom

    The League for Programming Freedom is a grass-roots organization of

professors, students, businessmen, programmers and users dedicated to

"bringing back" the freedom to write programs, which they contend has been

lost over the past number years.  The League is not opposed to the legal

system that Congress intended -- copyright on individual programs. Their aim

is to reverse the recent changes made by judges in response to special

interests, often explicitly rejecting the public interest principles of the

Constitution.

_________________________________

 5  As an aside, the editor of the GNU project, emacs, contains a built-in

    LISP interpreter and a large part of its functionality is written in LISP.

    The name GNU is itself recursive (the mainstay of the LISP language); it

    stands for "Gnu's Not Unix."

Chapter 8: Things You'll Hear About                                         69

    The League works to abolish the new monopolies by publishing articles,

talking with public officials, boycotting egregious offenders, and in the

future may intervene in court cases. On May 24, 1989, the League picketed

Lotus headquarters because of their lawsuits, and then again on August 2,

1990. These marches stimulated widespread media coverage for the issue.  They

welcome suggestions for other activities, as well as help in carrying them

out.

8.4  Networking Initiatives

    Research and development are two buzz words often heard when discussing

the networking field -- everything needs to go faster, over longer distances,

for a lower cost.  To "keep current," one should read the various trade

magazines and newspapers, or frequent the networking-oriented newsgroups of

Usenet.  If possible, attend trade shows and symposia like Usenix, Interop,

et. al.

8.4.1  NREN

    The National Research and Education Network (NREN) is a five-year project

approved by Congress in the Fall of 1991.  It's intended to create a national

electronic "super-highway."  The NREN will be 50 times faster than the fastest

available networks (at the time of this writing).  Proponents of the NREN

claim it will be possible to transfer the equivalent of the entire text of the

Encyclopedia Britannica in one second.  Further information, including the

original text of the bill presented by Senator Al Gore (D-TN), is available

through anonymous FTP to nis.nsf.net, in the directory `nsfnet'. In addition,

Vint Cerf wrote on the then-proposed NREN in RFC-1167, Thoughts on the

National Research and Education Network.  See [RFCs], page 73 for information

on obtaining RFCs.

9  Finding Out More

9.1  Internet Resource Guide

    The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) compiles and makes available an

Internet Resource Guide (IRG). The goal of the guide is to increase the

visibility of various Internet resources that may help users do their work

better. While not yet an exhaustive list, the guide is a useful compendium of

many resources and can be a helpful reference for a new user.

    Resources listed are grouped by types into sections.  Current sections

include descriptions of online library catalogs, data archives, online white

pages directory services, networks, network information centers, and

computational resources, such as supercomputers. Each entry describes the

resource, identifies who can use the resource, explains how to reach the local

network via the Internet, and lists contacts for more information.  The list

is distributed electronically by the NNSC. To receive a guide, or to get on a

mailing list that alerts you to when it is updated,  send a message to

resource-guide-request@nnsc.nsf.net.

    The current edition of the IRG is available via anonymous FTP from

nnsc.nsf.net, in the directory `/resource-guide'.

9.2  Requests for Comments

    The internal workings of the Internet are defined by a set of documents

called RFCs (Request for Comments).   The general process for creating an RFC

is for someone wanting something formalized to write a document describing the

issue and mailing it to Jon Postel (postel@isi.edu).  He acts as a referee for

the proposal.  It is then commented upon by all those wishing to take part in

the discussion (electronically, of course).  It may go through multiple

revisions. Should it be generally accepted as a good idea, it will be assigned

a number and filed with the RFCs.

    The RFCs can be divided into five groups:  required, suggested,

directional,  informational and obsolete.  Required RFCs (e.g.,  RFC-791, The

Internet Protocol) must be implemented on any host connected to the Internet.

    Suggested RFCs are generally implemented by network hosts.  Lack of them

does not preclude access to the Internet, but may impact its usability. RFC-

793, Transmission Control Protocol, is a must for those implementing TCP.

72                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

    Directional RFCs were discussed and agreed to, but their application has

never come into wide use.  This may be due to the lack of wide need for the

specific application (RFC-937, The Post Office Protocol) or that, although

technically superior, ran against other pervasive approaches (RFC-891, Hello).

It is suggested that, should the facility be required by a particular site, an

implementation be done in accordance with the RFC. This ensures that, should

the idea be one whose time has come, the implementation will be in accordance

with some standard and will be generally usable.

    Informational RFCs contain factual information about the Internet and its

operation (RFC-990, Assigned Numbers).

    There is also a subset of RFCs called FYIs (For Your Information). They

are written in a language much more informal than that used in the other,

standard RFCs.  Topics range from answers to common questions for new and

experienced users to a suggested bibliography.

    Finally, as the Internet has grown and technology has changed, some RFCs

become unnecessary.  These obsolete RFCs cannot be ignored, however.

Frequently when a change is made to some RFC that causes a new one to obsolete

others, the new RFC only contains explanations and motivations for the change.

Understanding the model on which the whole facility is based may involve

reading the original and subsequent RFCs on the topic.

    RFCs and FYIs are available via FTP from many sources, including:

  o  The nic.ddn.mil archive, as `/rfc/rfc-xxxx.txt', where xxxx is the

     number of the RFC.

  o  from ftp.uu.net, in the directory `/RFC'.

    They're also available through mail by writing to service@nic.ddn.mil,

with a `Subject:' line of send RFC-xxxx.TXT, again with xxxx being the RFC

number. To learn about archive servers,  [Archive Servers], page 77.)

               "Knowledge is of two kinds.  We know a subject ourselves, or we

                                  know where we can find information upon it."

                                                                Samuel Johnson

Conclusion                                                                  73

Conclusion

    This guide is far from complete -- the Internet changes on a daily (if not

hourly) basis.  However, this booklet should provide enough information to

make the incredible breadth and complexity of the Internet a mite less

imposing.  Coupled with some exploration and experimentation, every user has

the potential to be a competent net citizen, using the facilities that are

Appendix A  Getting to Other Networks

    Inter-connectivity has been and always will be one of the biggest goals in

computer networking.  The ultimate desire is to make it so one person can

contact anyone else no matter where they are. A number of "gateways" between

networks have been set up. They include:

AppleLink    Quantum Services sells access to AppleLink, which is similar to

             QuantumLink for Commodore computers and PCLink for IBM PCs and

             compatibles. It also provides email access through the address

             `user@applelink.apple.com'.

ATTMail      AT&T sells a commercial email service called ATTMail.  Its users

             can be reached by writing to `user@attmail.com'.

BIX          Users on BIX (the Byte Information eXchange) can be reached

             through the DAS gateway at `user@dcibix.das.net'.

CompuServe (CI$)

             To reach a user on the commercial service CompuServe, you must

             address  the  mail  as  xxxxx.xxx@compuserve.com,  with xxxxx.xxx

             being their CompuServe user ID. Normally CompuServe ids are

             represented as being separated by a comma (like 71999,141); since

             most mailers don't react well to having commas in addresses, it

             was changed to a period.  For the above address, mail would be

             sent to `71999.141@compuserve.com'.

EasyNet      Digital sells a service called EasyNet; users that subscribe to

             it can be reached with the addresses user@host.enet.dec.com or

             `user%host.enet@decwrl.dec.com'.

FidoNet      The  FidoNet  computer  network  can  be  reached  by  using  a

             special  addressing  method.   If  John  Smith  is  on  the  node

             `1:2/3.4'  on  FidoNet,  his  or  her  email  address  would  be

             `john.smith@p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.org' (notice how the numbers fall

             in place?).

MCI Mail     MCI also sells email accounts (similar to ATTMail). Users can be

             reached with `user@mcimail.com'.

PeaceNet     Users on the PeaceNet network can be reached by writing to

             `user@igc.org'.

    This table is far from complete.  In addition to sites not being listed,

some services are not (nor do they plan to be) accessible from the "outside"

(like Prodigy); others, like GEnie, are actively investigating the possibility

of creating a gateway into their system. For the latest information, consult a

list called the Inter-Network Mail Guide. It's available from a number of FTP

sites, including UUNET; see Section 3.2.2 [Anonymous FTP], page 21, for more

information on getting a copy of it using anonymous FTP.

Appendix B: Retrieving Files via Email                                      77

Appendix B  Retrieving Files via Email

    For those who have a connection to the Internet, but cannot FTP, there do

exist a few alternatives to get those files you so desperately need. When

requesting files, it's imperative that you keep in mind the size of your

request -- odds are the other people who may be using your link won't be too

receptive to sudden bursts of really heavy traffic on their normally sedate

connection.

Archive Servers

    An alternative to the currently well over-used FTPmail system is taking

advantage of the many archive servers that are presently being maintained.

These are programs that receive email messages that contain commands, and act

on them.  For example, sending an archive server the command `help' will

usually yield, in the form of a piece of email, information on how to use the

various commands that the server has available.

    One such archive server is `service@nic.ddn.mil'.  Maintained by the

Network Information Center (NIC) in Chantilly, VA, the server is set up to

make all of the information at the NIC available for people who don't have

access to FTP. This also includes the WHOIS service (see Section 6.4.1

[Whois], page 57).  Some sample `Subject:' lines for queries to the NIC server

are:

     Subject: help                         Describes available commands

     Subject: rfc 822                      Sends a copy of RFC-822

     Subject: rfc index                    Sends an index of the available RFCs

     Subject: netinfo domain-template.txt  Sends a domain application

     Subject: whois widener                Sends WHOIS information on `widener'

    More information on using their archive server can be obtained by writing

to their server address service@nic.ddn.mil with a `Subject:' of help.

    There are different "brands" of archive server, each with its own set of

commands and services.  Among them there often exists a common set of commands

and services (e.g.  `index', `help', etc).  Be that as it may, one should

always consult the individual help for a specific server before assuming the

syntax -- 100K surprises can be hard on a system.

FTP-by-Mail Servers

    Some systems offer people the ability to receive files through a mock-FTP

interface via email.  See Section 3.2.2 [Anonymous FTP], page 21 for

78                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

a general overview of how to FTP. The effects of providing such a service

varies, although a rule of thumb is that it will probably use a substantial

amount of the available resources on a system.

    The "original" FTP-by-Mail service, BITFTP, is available to BITNET users

from the Princeton node PUCC.  It was once accessible to anyone, but had to be

closed out to non-BITNET users because of the heavy load on the system.

    In response to this closure, Paul Vixie designed and installed a system

called FTPmail on one of Digital's gateway computers, decwrl.dec.com. Write to

`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' with `help' in the body of the letter for

instructions on its use. The software is undergoing constant development; once

it reaches a stable state, other sites will be encouraged to adopt it and

provide the service also.

Appendix C: Newsgroup Creation                                              79

Appendix C  Newsgroup Creation

    Everyone has the opportunity to make a Call For Votes on the Usenet and

attempt to create a newsgroup that he/she feels would be of benefit to the

general readership.  The rules governing newsgroup creation have evolved over

the years into a generally accepted method. They only govern the "world"

groups; they aren't applicable to regional or other alternative hierarchies.

Discussion

    A discussion must first take place to address issues like the naming of

the group, where in the group tree it should go (e.g.  rec.sports.koosh vs

rec.games.koosh?),  and whether or not it should be created in the first

place.  The formal Request For Discussion (RFD) should be posted to

news.announce.newgroups, along with any other groups or mailing lists at all

related to the proposed topic.  news.announce.newgroups is moderated. You

should place it first in the `Newsgroups:' header, so that it will get mailed

to the moderator only. The article won't be immediately posted to the other

newsgroups listed; rather, it will give you the opportunity to have the

moderator correct any inconsistencies or mistakes in your RFD. He or she will

take care of posting it to the newsgroups you indicated. Also the `Followup-

To:' header will be set so that the actual discussion takes place only in

news.groups. If a user has difficulty posting to a moderated group, he or she

may mail submissions intended for news.announce.newgroups to the address

`announce-newgroups@rpi.edu'.

    The final name and charter of the group, and whether it will be moderated

or unmoderated, will be determined during the discussion period. If it's to be

moderated, the discussion will also decide who the moderator will be. If

there's no general agreement on these points among those in favor of a new

group at the end of 30 days, the discussion will be taken into mail rather

than continued posting to news.groups; that way, the proponents of the group

can iron out their differences and come back with a proper proposal, and make

a new Request For Discussion.

Voting

    After the discussion period (which is mandatory), if it's been determined

that a new group really is desired, a name and charter are agreed upon, and

it's been determined whether the group will be moderated (and by whom), a Call

For Votes (CFV) should be posted to news.announce.newgroups, along with any

80                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

other groups that the original Request For Discussion was posted to. The CFV

should be posted (or mailed to the news.announce.newgroups moderator) as soon

as possible after the discussion ends (to keep it fresh in everyone's mind).

    The Call for Votes should include clear instructions on how to cast a

vote. It's important that it be clearly explained how to both vote for and

against a group (and be of equivalent difficulty or ease). If it's easier for

you or your administrator, two separate addresses can be used to mail yes and

no votes to, providing that they're on the same machine. Regardless of the

method, everyone must have a very specific idea of how to get his/her vote

counted.

    The voting period can last between 21 and 31 days, no matter what the

preliminary results of the vote are. A vote can't be called off simply because

400 "no" votes have come in and only two "yes" votes.  The Call for Votes

should include the exact date that the voting period will end -- only those

votes arriving on the vote-taker's machine before this date can be counted.

    To keep awareness high, the CFV can be repeated during the vote, provided

that it gives the same clear, unbiased instructions for casting a vote as the

original; it also has to be the same proposal as was first posted. The charter

can't change in mid-vote.  Also, votes that're posted don't count -- only

those that were mailed to the vote-taker can be tallied.

    Partial results should never be included; only a statement of the specific

proposal, that a vote is in progress on it, and how to cast a vote.  A mass

acknowledgement ("Mass ACK" or "Vote ACK") is permitted; however, it must be

presented in a way that gives no indication of which way a person voted.  One

way to avoid this is to create one large list of everyone who's voted, and

sort it in alphabetical order. It should not be two sorted lists (of the yes

and no votes, respectively).

    Every vote is autonomous.  The votes for or against one group can't be

transferred to another, similar proposal. A vote can only count for the exact

proposal that it was a response to.  In particular, a vote for or against a

newsgroup under one name can't be counted as a vote for or against another

group with a different name or charter, a different moderated/unmoderated

status, or, if it's moderated, a different moderator or set of moderators.

Whew!

    Finally, the vote has to be explicit; they should be of the form `I vote

for the group foo.bar as proposed' or `I vote against the group foo.bar as

proposed'.  The wording doesn't have to be exact, your intention just has to

be clear.

Appendix C: Newsgroup Creation                                              81

The Result of a Vote

    At the end of the voting period, the vote-taker has to post (to

news.announce.newgroups) the tally and email addresses of the votes received.

Again, it can also be posted to any of the groups listed in the original CFV.

The tally should make clear which way a person voted, so the results can be

verified if it proves necessary to do so.

    After the vote result is posted to news.announce.newgroups, there is a

mandatory five-day waiting period.  This affords everyone the opportunity to

correct any errors or inconsistencies in the voter list or the voting

procedure.

Creation of the Group

    If, after the waiting period, there are no serious objections that might

invalidate the vote, the vote is put to the "water test."  If there were 100

more valid `YES/create' votes than `NO/don't' create votes, and  at least two-

thirds of the total number of votes are in favor of creation, then a newgroup

control message can be sent out (often by the moderator of

news.announce.newgroups).  If the 100-vote margin or the two-thirds percentage

isn't met, the group has failed and can't be created.

    If the proposal failed, all is not lost -- after a six-month waiting

period (a "cooling down"), a new Request For Discussion can be posted to

news.groups, and the whole process can start over again.  If after a couple of

tries it becomes obvious that the group is not wanted or needed, the vote-

taker should humbly step back and accept the opinion of the majority. (As life

goes, so goes Usenet.)

Glossary

    This glossary is only a tiny subset of all of the various terms and other

things that people regularly use on The Net. For a more complete (and very

entertaining) reference, it's suggested you get a copy of The New Hacker's

Dictionary, which is based on a VERY large text file called the Jargon File.

    :-)  This odd symbol is one of the ways a person can portray "mood" in the

very flat medium of computers -- by using "smilies."  This is `meta-

communication', and there are literally hundreds of them, from the obvious to

the obscure.  This particular example expresses "happiness." Don't see it?

Tilt your head to the left 90 degrees.  Smilies are also used to denote

sarcasm.

    address resolution  Conversion of an Internet address to the corresponding

physical address.  On an ethernet, resolution requires broadcasting on the

local area network.

usually slower circuits. Also used in reference to a system that acts as a

"hub" for activity (although those are becoming much less prevalent now than

they were ten years ago).

    bandwidth  The capacity of a medium to transmit a signal. More informally,

the mythical "size" of The Net, and its ability to carry the files and

messages of those that use it.  Some view certain kinds of traffic (FTPing

hundreds of graphics images, for example) as a "waste of bandwidth" and look

down upon them.

    BITNET (Because It's Time Network)  An NJE-based international educational

network.

    bounce  The return of a piece of mail because of an error in its delivery.

    btw  An abbreviation for "by the way."

can network a wide variety of computers, it is not proprietary, and components

are widely available from many commercial sources.

    FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface)  An emerging standard for network

technology based on fiber optics that has been established by ANSI.  FDDI

specifies a 100-million bit per second data rate.  The access control

mechanism uses token ring technology.

    flame  A piece of mail or Usenet posting which is violently argumentative.

The Internet number for the site cs.widener.edu is 147.31.254.130.  A resolver

is used to translate between hostnames and Internet addresses.

    interoperate   The ability of multi-vendor computers to work together

using a common set of protocols.  With interoperability, PCs, Macs, Suns, Dec

VAXen, CDC Cybers, etc, all work together allowing one host computer to

communicate with and take advantage of the resources of another.

    ISO (International Organization for Standardization)  Coordinator of the

main networking standards that are put into use today.

    kernel  The level of an operating system or networking system that

drivers, the memory management routines, the scheduler, and system calls. This

program is always running while the system is operating.

    LAN (Local Area Network)  Any physical network technology that operates at

high speed over short distances (up to a few thousand meters).

    mail gateway  A machine that connects to two or more electronic mail

systems (especially dissimilar mail systems on two different networks) and

    node  A computer that is attached to a network; also called a host.

    NSFnet  The national backbone network, funded by the National Science

Foundation and operated by the Merit Corporation, used to interconnect

regional (mid-level) networks such as WestNet to one another.

    packet  The unit of data sent across a packet switching network. The term

is used loosely.  While some Internet literature uses it to refer specifically

to data sent across a physical network, other literature views the Internet as

a packet switching network and describes IP datagrams as packets.

news.

    postmaster   The person responsible for taking care of mail problems,

answering queries about users, and other related work at a site.

computers must follow to exchange those messages. Protocols can describe low-

level details of machine-to-machine interfaces (e.g., the order in which bits

and bytes are sent across a wire) or high-level exchanges between allocation

programs (e.g., the way in which two programs transfer a file across the

Internet).

someone asks a simple or common question.  The word `Fantastic' is usually

replaced with one much more vulgar.

88                                             Zen and the Art of the Internet

    SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)  The Internet standard protocol for

transferring electronic mail messages from one computer to another.  SMTP

specifies how two mail systems interact and the format of control messages

they exchange to transfer mail.

    server  A computer that shares its resources, such as printers and files,

with other computers on the network. An example of this is a Network File

System (NFS) server which shares its disk space with other computers.

    signal-to-noise ratio  When used in reference to Usenet activity, this

describes the relation between amount of actual information in a discussion,

compared to their quantity.  More often than not, there's substantial activity

in a newsgroup, but a very small number of those articles actually contain

anything useful.

    signature  The small, usually four-line message at the bottom of a piece

of email or a Usenet article. In Unix, it's added by creating a file

`.signature' in the user's home directory.  Large signatures are a no-no.

    summarize   To encapsulate a number of responses into one coherent, usable

message.  Often done on controlled mailing lists or active newsgroups, to help

reduce bandwidth.

    synchronous  Data communications in which transmissions are sent at a

fixed rate, with the sending and receiving devices synchronized.

    TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)  A set of

protocols,  resulting from ARPA efforts,  used by the Internet to support

services such as remote login (telnet), file transfer (FTP) and mail (SMTP).

    telnet  The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection

service. Telnet allows a user at one site to interact with a remote

timesharing system at another site as if the user's terminal were connected

directly to the remote computer.

    terminal server  A small, specialized, networked computer that connects

many terminals to a LAN through one network connection. Any user on the

network can then connect to various network hosts.

    TEX  A free typesetting system by Donald Knuth.

    twisted pair  Cable made up of a pair of insulated copper wires wrapped

around each other to cancel the effects of electrical noise.

    UUCP (Unix to Unix Copy Program)  A store-and-forward system, primarily

for Unix systems but currently supported on other platforms (e.g. VMS and

personal computers).

    WAN (Wide-Area Network)  A network spanning hundreds or thousands of

miles.

Glossary                                                                    89

    workstation  A networked personal computing device with more power than a

standard IBM PC or Macintosh.  Typically, a workstation has an operating

system such as unix that is capable of running several tasks at the same time.

It has several megabytes of memory and a large, high-resolution display.

Examples are Sun workstations and Digital DECstations.

    worm  A computer program which replicates itself.  The Internet worm (see

Section 8.1 [The Internet Worm], page 63) was perhaps the most famous; it

successfully (and accidentally) duplicated itself on systems across the

Internet.

    wrt  With respect to.

                                                         "I hate definitions."

                                                             Benjamin Disraeli

Zen and the Art of the Internet: A Beginner's Guide---your navigator's guide

to the many twists and turns that come with being comfortable with the

Internet.  Published by Prentice Hall, its Second Edition is due to begin

shipping in the middle of July (a couple of weeks).  It has an ISBN of 0-13-

010778-6, and it costs $22.  There are discounts available for large quantity

and educational orders.

Zen is primarily written for people that're comfortable with computers, but

may not have had much (if any) exposure to networks in general.  No one

operating system is targeted; it's purposely "Operating System-neutral."

Whether you use VM, VMS, Unix, DOS, or Billy's Virtual Machine, you should

find this information useful.  Even if you've been using the Net for years,

you'll probably find something in Zen that you hadn't realized existed before.

Zen discusses how to decypher domain names; use email well; what telnet is and

what's available using it; Usenet news (including a lot on proper netiquette);

FTP & archie; the various services that're out there, in their many forms; and

a variety of other topics.

It also features a chapter (my personal favorite) called ``What You'll Hear

About''.  Therein are described the different organizations that are concerned

with or active on the Net, happenings like the Internet Worm and Cliff Stoll's

wily hacker, and discussions of other net lore as well.  I think you'll find

Zen to be a good read, and not anything like the dry technical manuals that so

often proliferate our book shelves.  The first edition was received incredibly

well by the Net in the past few months.  (Send mail to archive-

server@cs.widener.edu with the command `send zen hints' in the body of your

message to get instructions on how to get the first edition.  It will continue

to be distributed, irregardless of what future editions may come out.)

Opened with a foreword by Ed Vielmetti, Vice President of MSEN, the second

edition offers roughly 30 pages of new information, and has been completely

"refinished" front to back, with every page rewritten or changed in some way.

You'll find it to be much cleaner and more complete than the first; everything

in the first edition has been supplemented or improved.  It sports a more

complete glossary, an extensive bibliography, and a number of other reference

features.  I've directly incorporated the suggestions of dozens of folks on

the net, in the hopes of making it exactly the kind of book you need.

Let Zen be your guide through Cyberspace.  Comments on either edition are

welcome; please send them to guide-bugs@cs.widener.edu

Putting your home PC on the Internet: Summary and Compendium

   25 Jan 1991

I'd like to thank all the folks who took the time to respond to my

questions about how to get the home PC hung on the internet.  Here's a

summary of the responses as I understand them, followed by the

complete text of all responses so you can draw your own conclusions.

I regret that this summary is not very comprehensive or authoritative

(not that netnews ever is) but it does indicate directions to proceed

in.

There were two questions I asked:  1) how to get assigned an internet

address and get physically hooked in to the internet, and 2) failing

this, how to get an e-mail and news feed.  I specified that I didn't

want to discuss software (not that it's not important), just how to

get physically and administratively hooked up.  I also sent a query to

the group rec.ham-radio.packet asking what people thought of using

amateur packet radio as the connection to the outside world.  These

responses are also attached below.

0. Background information

People often confuse the terms "internet address" and "domain name"

(probably because e-mail is generally addressed to a domain name, not

an internet address).  An internet address is a 32-bit number that is

assigned to each node on the internet.  It's usually written in four

bytes, for instance the address of max.berkeley.edu is 128.32.178.63.

A domain name is a name like max.berkeley.edu.  You don't have to be

an internet node to get an official domain name, but if you aren't

one, you have to tell them the name of an internet node that will take

care of forwarding your mail off the internet.  To get more info about

registering a domain name in the "us" domain, ftp to nic.ddn.mil and

get netinfo:us-domain.txt.  There is no registration fee.

Note that although both the domain name system and the internet

addressing are heirarchical, they have nothing to do with each other.

The internet address heirarchy is related to physical connection, but

the domain name heirarchy is administrative.

1. Getting an internet address

A basic problem with getting on the internet is that the US gov't,

which is footing the bill for most of the internet, doesn't want

anyone on there unless some gov't agency will vouch that you are doing

research or other work for them.  So if you do contract work for Uncle

Sam in your spare time, you might get your patron agency to back you.

The relevant document is netinfo:internet-number-template.txt on

nic.ddn.mil.  I don't think there's any fee, and you get 256 internet

addresses to do with as you please.

If, however, you are not a budding Beltway Bandit, it becomes a matter

of who you know.  Suppose you have buddies at the local university or

bomb plant.  They might be willing and able to lend you an address out

of their pool.  Strictly speaking, they aren't supposed to do this

unless you are using the net for uses related to working for them, but

it's been known to happen anyhow.

Which of these options you select also affects the way you can hook

in, covered next.

2. Physical connections

The expensive way of getting connected is to rent a phone line from

you to some local organization, and pay them to deal with the other

end.  Somebody sent a copy of recent NEARnet rates.  A small operation

could get hooked up at 9600 baud for a $10,750 installation charge,

and $7000 per year exclusive of leased line charges.  The cost of the

leased line obviously depends on where you are, but according to

UUNET's AlterNet blurb, they cost $3000 per year and up.  NEARnet

serves New England, I suppose there are similar organizations in other

parts of the country but I don't know who they are.

UUNET runs AlterNet (just mentioned) and they estimate the following

charges for a 9600 baud connection.  Initial charge is $2750, and

annual fee of $3000 exclusive of phone company charges.  They mention

that they also support dial-up connections, which might save a bundle

on phone charges.  Alternet has a few hubs spaced around the country

and a couple in Europe.  To get info on AlterNet, send mail to

info@uunet.uu.net.

Several respondents also mentioned PSI.  I have requested info from

them, but don't have it yet.

The above choices are not only a bit expensive, they also will not get

you on the Internet unless you have the aformentioned government

sponsorship.  If you have a friend with a hooked up network, you can

try to talk him into running a SLIP protocol connection over a dial-up

modem to one of his machines.  As I mentioned above, this is not

strictly on the up-and-up, but is enormously cheaper.

Another possibility that occurred to me was to make the outside

connection via amateur packet radio.  I don't know anything about

packet radio myself, but the replies I got indicated the following.

It's not legal to use amateur radio for any business purposes.

Nothing is supposed to be transmitted over amateur radio unless it's

been read by someone with a license.  And there's some question about

the legality of unattended operation.  Nonetheless, it seems some hams

are doing stuff like this.  I don't have any idea what kind of

equipment costs are involved.

3. How about just mail and news?

The other option is to forget the internet and just get a news and

mail feed via UUCP.  Basicly you buy a modem and locate someone who

already has mail and news who will let you call in and grab them.

Possible feeds are UUNET (send mail to info@uunet.uu.net) or many

nixpub sites (listed in a period posting in pubnet.nixpub and

comp.misc) and probably thousands of others.  UUNET apparently costs

something like $400 a year plus phone charges; some of sites in the

nixpub list are free.  Someone suggested to look in comp.mail.maps to

find invitations for UUCP feeds.  Fidonet and PSI are also mentioned

as possible feeds.

One thing to bear in mind is that if you want a registered domain

name, you must have a internet site that agrees to forward your mail.

I believe UUNET and PSI take care of this for you, but if you just

pick someone out of comp.mail.maps to feed you, you will have to hunt

down your internet site separately.  I understand that Fidonet sites

all have registered domain names, albiet peculiar looking ones.

4. Other things to try

One of the responses below suggests sending a query to

hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil.  I have, but the reply just told me how to

register a domain name in the US domain.  I haven't pursued this

further.

As mentioned above, info on UUNET can be gotten by sending your US

mail address (no kidding!) to info@uunet.uu.net.  I don't have this

packet yet, so I can't tell you what's in it.  Also, some info can be

gotten by anon FTP from uunet.uu.net in the directory uunet-info.

Info on PSI is reportedly available from info@psi.com.

I don't know where to find info about fidonet.

 There should have been information there about getting an address.

You might try contacting the postmaster at the large Ohio State USENET

site.  (Don't remember the name off hand.)  I've seen messsage from him in

the past about providing mail/news help to people and he should point you in

the right direction.  You might also look into CSNET, UUNET, and PSINET??

all of which have TCP/IP networks and may have dial-up TCP/IP capability.

(Which is probably what you want.  Having a dedicated line to your home

could get expensive.)  Also look into the SLIP and/or PPP protocols which

are available for the PC and are used to implement TCP/IP over dial-up lines.

If you have good connections at local Internet sites, you might be able to

get somebody to assign you an address there and use dial-up connections.

 A high speed modem may be all you need as far as additional

 The mail groups or tcp-ip groups might have been better.  You might

try finding the archives for the tcp-ip groups.  They should have

information.

$35.00 one-time fee for an internet-style mail address through UUnet.

Actual internet-style connection is substantially more ($800/month? I

think I remember for Alternet, don't have it in front of me).

Anyways, UUnet does both (the internet stuff from uunet is called "Alternet").

Write info@uunet.uu.net for details.

Post to a *.uucp group distributed near you & also Email

postmaster@"local sites" and ask for someone who is willing

to give you a feed.  To find local sites, look in the UUCP maps

(either on your favourite machine, or in the newsgroup comp.mail.maps).

The UUCP map for some sites lists an invitation for new UUCP mail

or news feeds; most sites are willing to give a mail feed if you

ask nicely, but news is much harder to come by.  Almost impossible

to come by if you aren't running a high-speed modem.  But, again,

uunet will give you a feed if all else fails.

Also, again, uunet does this---$35.00/month + $2.00/hour or so.

The information I have about Alternet is on paper, so you're out of luck;

ask uunet to send you a copy (that's what I did).

I appended to the bottom of this message the info from uunet on registering

a domain style address.

Have fun.

Probably, if you're associated with a University, you can do an internet

connection for free to them; look for information on TCP/IP and SLIP

(Internet Protocol, Serial Line Internet Protocol (i.e., for

modems), ...I think that's what these acronyms stand for)

Disclaimer:  I'm a UUCP only site, so I haven't actually done any of this;

use this info at your own risk, I'm not associated with the University,

the government, UUnet, or anyone else mentioned in this, etc, etc, ...

Hello,

 Please find below some info regarding domain registration and application form

 for registering.

BACKGROUND:

A "zone" is a registry of domains kept by a particular organization.  A

zone registry is "authoritative", that is, the master copy of the

registry is kept by the zone organization, and this copy is, by

definition, always up-to-date.  Copies of this registry may be

distributed to other places and kept in caches, but these caches are

not authoritative because they may be out of date.  An authoritative

answer is required for certain decisions, such as "this mail cannot be

delivered because there is no such domain", or "the name you have

chosen is available and is now assigned uniquely to you."

You need a registered domain name to use software (including smail)

which supports domain addresses.  This name must be unique in the

world, and must be registered with the appropriate registry.  You also

need to be in a domain that has a forwarder from the INternet.

Currently, the domain tree in the USA has three major top level

domains:  COM for companies, EDU for educational institutions, and GOV

for government entities.  Three other top level names exist: MIL, NET,

ORG, but are somewhat specialized.  For the most part, countries other

than the USA are using the ISO 3166 2 letter abbreviation for their

country as a top level.

The second level is generally the name of the organization, using the

shortest possible abbreviation that is clear and unique, thus ATT, DEC,

IBM, HP, etc.  The choice of exact name is up to the organization, and

longer names, such as Berkeley.EDU or Tektronix.COM are perfectly

acceptable.  Just remember that people must type the name, as well as

see it displayed.  Only the second level domain name need be registered.

Not all countries use the second level for the organization.  In

particular, Australia and Britain have set up second level domains

OZ.AU and AC.UK for their academic communities, and put the

organization at the third level.

The third and subsequent levels, if used, should be organizational

units within the organization.  Try to keep the number of levels to a

minimum, since people have to type the names.  More than four total

levels (country, org, org-unit1, and org-unit2) should rarely be

needed.  The actual organizational units to be used are up to you, for

example, they might be departments, or they might be machine names.

You do not need to register levels beneath the second level.

CHOSING NAMES:

Domain names are case independent.  uucpnames MUST be all lower case.

"vax", "u3b20", and the like are terrible host names, because sooner or

later you'll have more than one vax, or more than one 3b20, and the

names will be confusing.  We recommend organizational names, with any

subdomains based on the department or project the machine is used for.

We highly discourage use of a nonorganizational uucpname as the second

level domain name.  Of course, in order to keep the names reasonably

short and to avoid duplicating names in the heirarchy, some compromise

will be needed.  For example, csvax.CS.UND.EDU is redundant, but

RISC.CS.UND.EDU might be a good name for the computer used by the RISC

project in the CS department.

Please note that you should support both RFC 976 and the documents it

refers to, in particular RFC 822 and RFC 920.  This means, for

example:

(a) The name "postmaster" on all machines visible to the outside

    should be forwarded to the technical contact.  This can be

    easily done with an alias in /usr/lib/aliases, if your site

    runs sendmail or smail release 2.0 or beyond.

(b) Your machine should not alter valid RFC 822 headers, such as

    From:, of mail it generates or forwards.  Many machines running

    sendmail have a bug which adds uucpname! to the front of such

    addresses.  Installing smail will fix the bug, because mail

    passed through the machine is not passed through sendmail.

    We hope to make a fix to sendmail available, also, at a

    later date.

COSTS:

UUNET charges a one time fee of $35 for processing the forms and

setting up the servers.  This fee does NOT include a connection to the

uunet computer.  There is no registration charge for UUNET customers.

Payment should be sent to:

 UUNET Communications Services

 3110 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 570

 Falls Church, VA 22042

 +1 703 876 5050

 uunet!domain-request

Please indicate the name of your domain and the uucp name of your

gateway machine on your payment so that we may properly credit you.

Registration can not be completed until payment is received (except for

UUNET subscribers).

Information about UUNET's other services can be obtained by sending

your postal address to uunet!info

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:

We will notify you via mail to "postmaster" in your domain when your

domain is registered.  Please make sure such an address exists in your

domain.  You can NOT use your domain name in outgoing mail until

registration is completed, although it is OK to install smail (using

the host.UUCP domain) ahead of time.  We do recommend that you set up

to accept incoming mail for your domain name ahead of time, if this is

convenient.

Several steps are needed before your registration is complete.  Some of

these steps are approval by the NIC, setting up the nameservers, and

setting up the forwarder.  Seeing your domain published in the UUCP map

is not, by itself, sufficient (or necessary) for the use of your domain

name.

FORWARDERS:

A forwarder is a kind of mail bridge host between the Internet

(formerly called the ARPANET) and UUCP.  The nameserver structure

directs all Internet mail for your domain to the forwarder, and the

forwarder passes the mail from Internet into UUCP.  Forwarders can also

forward your mail from UUCP to Internet, but it is not strictly

necessary to use your forwarder for this, since mail to any of the

published UUCP->Internet gateways can do this.  If you use a forwarder

other than uunet please have the postmaster or a system administrator

at the forwarder send uunet a message granting permission to use that

system as a forwarder.

To register your domain, you need to have a forwarder.  If you know of

an Internet site (such as uunet) that is willing to be a forwarder for

your domain, let us know.  As a last resort, uunet can be a forwarder

for you even if you are not directly connected.  HOWEVER, we require

that you have the postmaster or system administrator at the site that

is directly connected to uunet and will route your mail send uunet a

message of permission before we start forwarding mail through them.

THE APPLICATION:

To register your domain with the NIC, we need to send in the following

form.  Questions 4,7,8 and 9 are already answered for you.  Do not

change them.

Answer questions 0,1,2,3,5,6 and 10 and return THE ENTIRE FORM to

uunet!domain-request.  PLEASE do not just return the questions you

answer and do not reformat the application.  It creates extra work for

us, as we have to copy your answers back onto the form we originally

sent you, and will delay registration.

[ THE FORM STARTS HERE. ]

   (0a) Specify what machine you want to be your forwarder.  If you are

 directly connected to uunet, uunet can be your forwarder.  If

 you are not directly connected, then you need to find some other

 site to be your forwarder OR get the permission of a site that

 IS directly connected to uunet to allow your arpanet mail to be

 forwarded through them.  We must receive the permission of the

 uunet site or the other forwarder directly from that forwarder.

 Who will be your forwarder:

  For Example: uunet.uu.net

   (0b) Specify the uucpname registered in the UUCP maps of the system

 which will act as the mail gateway for your domain.  This is

 optional, but highly recommended, for domains which do not use

 uunet.uu.net as forwarder.  UUNET subscribers using uunet.uu.net

 as forwarder may simply give the name of the account.

 What is the name of your mail gateway:

[ NETINFO:DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT ]                                  [ 10/90 DM ]

   To establish a domain, the following information must be sent to

   the NIC Domain Registrar (HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL).  Questions

   may be addressed to the NIC Hostmaster by electronic mail at the

   above address, or by phone at (415) 859-3695 or (800) 235-3155.

   NOTE: The key people must have electronic mailboxes and NIC

   "handles," unique NIC database identifiers.  If you have access to

   "WHOIS", please check to see if you are registered and if so, make

   sure the information is current.  Include only your handle and any

   changes (if any) that need to be made in your entry.  If you do not

   have access to "WHOIS", please provide all the information indicated

   and a NIC handle will be assigned.

   (1) The name of the top-level domain to join

       (EDU, COM, MIL, GOV, NET, ORG).

 1.  Top-level domain:

   (2) The name of the domain (up to 12 characters).  This is the name

   that will be used in tables and lists associating the domain with the

   domain server addresses.  [While, from a technical standpoint, domain

   names can be quite long we recommend the use of shorter, more user-

   friendly names.]

 2.  Complete Domain Name:

   (3) The name and address of the organization establishing the domain.

 3a.  Organization name:

 3b.  Organization address:

   (4) The date you expect the domain to be fully operational.

   (5) The NIC handle of the administrative head of the organization --

   or this person's name, mailing address, phone number, organization,

   and network mailbox.  This is the contact point for administrative

   and policy questions about the domain.  In the case of a research

   project, this should be the principal investigator.

   NOTE: Both the Administrative and the Technical/Zone contact of a

   domain MUST have a network mailbox, even if the mailbox is to be

   provide the domain service for translating names to addresses

   for hosts in this domain.

   * If you are applying for a domain and a network number assignment

   simultaneously and a host on your proposed network will be used

   as a server for the domain, you must wait until you receive your

   network number assigment and have given the server(s) a netaddress

   before sending in the domain application.  Sending in the domain

   application without complete information in Sections 7 and 8 of

   this template will result in the delay of the domain registration.

   Also, establishing the servers in physically separate locations

   and on different PSNs and/or networks is strongly recommended.

You may well want to consider purchasing DELL's SYS V.4,

as it has SLIP built *into* it. Then you could SLIP into

*.berkeley.edu(I know of several hosts there) that allow

SLIP access.

This would be the *easiest* way to do it. Just purchase

the s/w, &/or a machine(small hype(!!) from us, and then

you'd be on the 'net.

Of course, doing this would also allow things like ftp,

and etc...

For more information on DELL's SYS V.4 UNIX, drop a line to

info@uudell.dell.com

 Since I 'work' at NYU, it would be acceptable to go and

 have a talk with the network manager for NYU.  If you are

 connected with UC Berkeley, you might look for the net

 manager there.

I have an Internet address, but I haven't taken the next

step onto the Internet.  PSI will give you a dial-up slip

connection for (I think) $250/month.  The only equipment you

need is a Telebit modem.  The drawback is that if you're not

in a "gateway" city, the long distance phone bills will kill

you.  (I'm not -- the closest is LA, a $20/hr bill)

I believe the next step up is a dedicated line (again to

either PSI or uunet's Alternet service) and I think those

costs are in the ~$2500/month range.  Plus an X.25 interface

which is not cheap.

I'd be interested in a summary of whatever you find out.

That's about how it's done.  Actually, if you're in

Berkeley, I'd give the postmaster at UCB (look in the maps)

a voice call and ask for mail connections.  Since mail

doesn't generate a lot of traffic, he'll probably be happy

to accomodate you.  While you're on the phone, ask him if he

knows where you can get a news feed.  He may be willing to

feed you, or if not, he may know someone he feeds that will

feed you.

As a last resort, get "Reach Out California" and call me for

news.  (2 hrs a day for a full feed.)

Oh, and don't forget uunet.  $35/month plus connect time.

  I see 2 possibilities for you: the first as you said is to get your

  that's interesting for just one or 2 machines.

  What would be more interesting is that your node get an attribution

  from an existing subnetwork you can call by phone. That would cost

  you just the negotiation of an attribution is this subnet, without

  having to bother about an IP domain.

  Hope this help.

X-Origin: The Portal System (TM)

Dave, as I understand it, you have to talk some site into

giving you a feed. This entails a modem line in, lots of mass storage,

(you DID want *everything*, didn't you?), and pretty high fees,

usually based on the traffic, over which you have litle control.

Your other choice, that of getting mail and news via uucp, is

a lot easier and cheaper. I use Portal Communications, in

Cupertino (South Bay). For $10 per month, we get unlimited

use of a large system of local BBs, Usenet email, and news.

They have a fairly sophisticated news reader interface, and

archive many groups for quite long periods. I know this is

a toll call for you, but you might try it out for a few months,

and also look for a similar service in the North or East Bay.

They can be reached in Cupertino at (408) 973-9111 by voice,

or log in at (408) 725-0561 or 725-1930 for info online.

(1200 or 2400 bps, 8,N,1)

A SLIP gateway is the most economical way to do this.  You find a host

willing to let you do it.  They will assign you an internet name and IP

number... something in their domain.  (cottingham.berkeley.edu?) ...  your

home machine will dial in and "log in" to this machine, which will establish

an Internet connection.  This is much easier if your home machine is a UNIX

machine.

This requires a modem on each end.  Higher speed modems are nicer but more

expensive.  It may also require a "router," if your home PC is not capable

of the hard work.  A router is a cheap dedicated computer running something

like pcroute.  This adds to the cost....

Finding a willing host is the harder part, though.

Depending on what type of PC you have, you can definitely get hooked

up to the net.  SCO produces a short version of UNIX (called Xenix)

which should satisfy your needs - a version is even available for

an 8088-XT based machine.

Now, getting a true internet registration cannot be done under Xenix,

because it lacks some of the communications systems needed to perform

true internet connections.  From my experience, you need a minimum

386-based PC, with 2M RAM, at LEAST a 40MB hard drive, and SCO UNIX.

If you don't mind being in another domain, instead of having your own,

you don't need UNIX.  I, for example, have a machine called "sungate",

but I'm "in" the UUNET domain.  So, instead of being  glen@sungate.ORG,

I am glen%sungate@uunet.UU.NET... makes no difference to me, but I'm

running Xenix, and that's just me.  Being in the UUNET domain as I am,

I still have full access to news and mail, and 24-hour support from

them for changes and problems.

Getting news and mail requires a minimum 286-PC, and SCO-Xenix with

a minimum of 20MB hard drive and 1M RAM.  If you want to store news

for a while, you should probably have more space.  I have 25 newsgroups

coming in here, and they require 10MB for two weeks storage.

If you just want mail access, you can do it on an 86-XT machine with

640K and as little as 10MB of hard drive space.  SCO's Xenix-86 will

do that job nicely.

If you have the hardware, the software reatils for about $400 from

SCO.  Send a message to info@sco.COM for up-to-date pricing, and a

sales referral.

In any event, many people choose to hook up to a number of networks.  The

most popular of these is probably UUNET Communications in Fairfax, VA.

They offer a full news feed, mail service, FTP's and other services.  You

can reach them at  postmaster@uunet.UU.NET  for info; however, I can tell

you that, to become a uunet member costs $35/month plus $2/hour connect.

There is no setup charge.  UUNET can help you register a domain with all

the proper people.  This is provided free to members, and costs $35 for

non members.  The uunet postmaster can provide you with more info.

For me, I started out not knowing what "uucp" was, and learned everything

I know from SCO and UUNET.  I recommend you contact them; however, feel

free to re-contact me.  I'd be happy to help you get set up and, since

I'm in the uunet domain, I can get assistance from them for you very

quickly.  You can reach me again at   glen%sungate@uunet.UU.NET .

Hope this helps!

Subject: Q: how to make home PC an internet node?

   It sure would be great if my PC at home were on the internet.  I'm

   sure this must be possible, since there are plenty of smallish

   businesses on the internet.  However, a perusal of the documents at

   nic.ddn.mil shows only how to launch a new network, which requires

   divine intervention from a government agency, and is definitely of a

   grander scale than what I have in mind.

Ok, I'll give it to you straight. Unless you're prepared to spend several thousand

dollars for hardware and pay connect costs to the telco of several hundred to several

thousand a month I won't get into it. If you are send email. 8-)

   If this turns out to be impossible, I figure I'll settle for news and

   mail via uucp.  I know one way to do this, which is to get in contact

   with one of the sites on the NIXPUB list.  If anybody knows a better

   way, I'd like to hear about it.

Easy enough. Run SCO Xenix on your PC along with smail 2.5 or smail3.1 and B or C news.

Get a connection with either UUNET or PSI. PSI runs about 75/month for unlimited news

mail etc.

   And finally, if there is a more appropriate place to post this,

   please let me know.  (Intensive scrutiny of the list of active

   newgorups turned up none which really seemed right,  but these

   seemed slightly plausible.)

Probably the right place since you have a PC and you'll be running something close

to what is used by most people who use this group.

Dave,

Not sure if this fits exactly what you are looking for or not. Is it

that you don't know how to register your address or is it that you

don't know how to go about creating a site for yourself at home?

If it is the latter then I think it should be fairly straight

forward. I originally contacted UNIFORUM trying to just get access

to email & USENET News. Through my contacts there they put me in

contact with a local outfit (SKAN) who were working on a new

software product called DISTNET. I was fortunate enough to be

given an offer to become a Beta Tester for them, which has worked

out extremely well for me in that 1) I have developed a very good

friendship with Doug Thompson - without a doubt the driving force

behind the program and 2) NEWS and email access to the network via

my own PC. It is great!

I have heard of several products that are available for DOS machines

that will allow them to do this. DistNet is very similar to another

product called WAFFLE, I have downloaded WAFFLE and taken a look at

the documentation and found it very confusing and intimidating

(after having become used to DistNet) I have also heard of several

others called UUPC and I believe UULINK. DistNet is designed to be

simple to set up, simple to use and simple to maintain. The hardware

necessary to run the program can be very simple (even an XT) - I

myself started on a 286 with a hard-disk and a 2400 baud modem. I

think the weekest link is the modem 2400 baud is very very slow for

transfering a lot of mail and wish I could afford a telebit modem

for much faster transfers.

DistNet is now going into it's final stages of Beta Testing before

being released into the open arena. The whole key to setting up any

sort of "leaf node" as DistNet calls my PC is to have a host that is

already connected to the network and has email and news capability.

If you already have a host available then all you really need is a

PC with hard disk (if you are planning to get a lot of NEWS I

recommend planning 30 Megs of hard disk for it) and a fast modem

that can communicate with it (9600 HST, Telebit, etc).

As for the software itself I will let the introduction to the manual

talk for itself:

"DistNet is a subset implementation of unix uucp mail and news for

MS-DOS computers.  Its overall structure and operations will look

quite familiar to those experienced with unix uucp.

This version of DistNet is designed to enable a DOS PC to become a

uucp site and interact with a uucp host exactly as any other uucp

site does over the modem.

To use it you must, therefore, have a site to call, and that site

must give you a uucp login account and you must agree with the

postmaster there as to what your site name will be.

UUCP stands for Unix-to-Unix-CoPy, and is one of the most popular

and common (and thus one of the most useful) electronic mail

systems in use in the world today. A vast world of networking is

accessible to uucp/modem users who have compatible software through

existing links between many uucp machines and the internet, and

through the uucp mapping project which makes it possible for

connected sites to exchange mail with millions of computer users

all over the world.

This package includes user interface software to enable you to read

and write mail messages, along with uucico to conduct uucp sessions

with other uucp sites, and uux and uuxqt to sort and file both

inbound and outbound mail. Aliases, forward, paths, and signature

files may be created along with multiple user accounts for the

machine running DistNet version 5.

DistNet also includes utilities to facilitate exchanging other

files with direct uucp neighbours, as well as transferring files by

mail to those who are not direct uucp neighbours. All of these are

(to the best of our knowledge) wholly compatible with unix

systems.

The DOS user will encounter frequent 'unixisms' since this software

is essentially a subset of the capabilities unix users often take

for granted. The difference is, this runs on DOS, and thus contains

some 'DOSisms' which will strike the ear of the unix user as

unfamiliar.

Most of the central capabilities of uucp are accessible to the

DistNet user in a form fully compatible with common practice and

standards in use in the unix electronic mail world.

In addition this package contains a menu program which integrates

all the pieces into a user-friendly installation which requires

very little experience to operate.  The system configuration can be

inspected or altered through another menu program, accessible

through the main menu program or the command line such that the

user never need pay detailed attention to the inevitably complex"

I don't have a firm date for the actual release of their software

but if you need more information then I do recommend you talking to

Doug directly. He can be reached by the following means.

Hope this rather long response (sorry I do get carried away with

myself) is helpful to you. Good luck in your quest - I have found

that there are a lot of good and very helpful people out here and I

am sure that you will shortly get all the answers you need.

Take Care,

I'm not sure whether you mean an Internet address like this:

 rfarris@rfengr.com

or one like this:

 141.193.1.1

In the case of the first, you have to find a mail forwarder

that is on the Internet.  Uunet is the most accessible.  If

you choose to open an account with uunet they will do the

paperwork to get you set up for free.  As a matter of fact,

I think uunet will process the paperwork for anyone for $35

or so, but if you don't connect with them you have to find

another mail forwarder.

In the case of the second, write to hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil

and they will send you a form to fill out.  (You have to

have the first address before you can be assigned a

numerical IP address.)

 I'm sure it's pretty expensive. I have a internet address, but am

 actually just a UUCP node. This is what many companies do. I think for

 Internet access, you have to have a leased line, and pay charges to

 UUNet or whoever your provider is. It won't be cheap. It's much easier

 just to get an Internet adddress, but stay UUCP...

If you have $30,000 to spare I think you will enjoy putting your home system

on the Internet.  On the other hand, if you want Usenet news and uucp mail,

you can run Waffle software ($30 to register the MS-DOS shareware version).

It works!

You only need to do 2 things.  1) Get a copy of a uucp mailer/news reader

availiable for DOS.  I use FSUUCP which can be obtained from

wuarchive.wustl.edu or polyslo.calpoly.edu.  Its very easy to set up.

2) Get a local unix machine to give you a news feed.  I see your in the

Physics Dept at Berkeley (I did my undergrad there).  You should be able

to swing a news/mail UUCP account from one of the local machines.  I see that

max.berkeley.edu is a VMS system;so you might have to go over to EECS or

somebody that has a UNIX box somewhere.  After you have your account, you

just have to be registered with a local nameserver.  They place a record

in the nameserver tables that says that all mail to your home machine should

actually be sent to the UNIX box.  You then poll the UNIX box at your

leisure to get your mail.  I have a timer on my PC that picks up my mail

once a day while I'm asleep.  Hope this helps.

Dave,

I think you'll find it to cost a bit more than you want to spend.

Here at National we still don't have a "true" Internet connection; we're

just well-connected UUCP-wise and our Telebits get a good workout (we're

a news-feed site for a number of others)  {:^).  That's supposedly going

to change sometime this year, but it requires (unless the rules have

changed) an up-front $$ layout for some kind of network interface equip-

ment and then a dedicated line to your site (as in T1 or something

similar).  However, unless your goal is to have ftp access, it's not

much of a handicap because we do have an Internet domain name (nsc.com)

so mail, news, etc. works just fine.  You might be able to do the same.

Good luck.

(note: this followup is only going to comp.misc)

A couple of ideas:

1. If I was running 2400-baud or less, I wouldn't run TCP/IP, I'd

   settle for UUCP.

   MS-DOS based programs for usenet news and e-mail are Waffle, fsuucp,

   and the soon-to-be-released fsbbs (I believe it's in beta).

   Waffle is a multiple-user system that can be configured as a bbs, or

   with separate user-names for husband/wife/each kid/etc.  I believe

   FSBBS has the same facilities.  FSUUCP is more single-user oriented,

   based on the docs I've read.  I'm looking into setting up Waffle.

   For more information, look in alt.bbs or alt.bbs.waffle.

2. To run TCP from home, you'll probably want to run some type of dial-up

   IP connection.  There are several MS-DOS TCP software packages that

   can use FTP Software's packet driver interface - KA9Q is probably

   what I'd pick for home use.  You need a 'packet driver' that speaks

   a protocol you can use - there's one for SLIP (serial-line IP) that

   will run with KA9Q.  PPP is a more-sophisticated dial-up protocol -

   I don't know much about it - and I don't know if there's a MS-DOS

   packet driver for it yet.  Check comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc for

   more information.

3. You need a site to connect to.  Sometimes universities or employers

   will offer this to you for free or a reasonable price.  Sites on the

   'nixpub' public-access unix lists may be able to set you up with a

   UUCP newsfeed/mail.

4. The easiest way to get a domain-name is to get one in the .us

   domain - there's no charge, you can fill out the application by

   e-mail.  You need to know what configuration you're using (TCP or

   UUCP) and have it somewhat-working before you can answer the

   questions.  I don't remember where you can ftp the information

   from, but if nothing else you can e-mail Ann Westine (westine@isi.edu)

   and ask for information - Ann is the domain-coordinator for the .us

   domain.

   If your connection is uucp, you can go with the more-traditional

   7-or-less-characters.uucp site name.  In this case, your entry

   should go into the UUCP maps.

   The Waffle docs talk about getting a UUCP connection.  Some of the

   ideas would be equally applicable for TCP connections.

5. USR HST modems are not particularly good for UUCP use.  The Telebit

   Trailblazer seems to be the "standard" modem for high-speed UUCP

   connections.  I probably would choose a V.32 modem of some sorts,

   but all of this is based on discussions in alt.bbs.

Most of the software is available via anon FTP from wuarchive.wustl.edu -

look in /mirrors/msdos/bbs for waffle, /mirrors/msdos/uucp for fsuucp,

and /mirrors/msdos/ka9q-tcpip (I think - I'm doing this all from memory).

Hope this helps.

Sites attached to the internet such that they send may send packets across

NSFnet or other parts of the federally funded internet must have some

relation to institutions or groups that are doing research under federal

funding or are educational institutions.  It's hard to find out exactly

where the line is drawn, but this could rule out home ip sites unless

one is involved with federal research or a university.  If you are

involved like this, it shouldn't be too hard to talk to your network

administration and find out details of how to connect remotely to

your IP net, if they will allow it.

Otherwise, you will have to either be rich or have a

real good reason to be on an IP net.  Two commercial internet

providers are UUNET Communications, which runs AlterNET, and PSI,

which runs PSInet.  These two providers give services which range from

9600 baud dialup to T1 (1.544Mbaud) dedicated IP service.  You can't

send packets from AlterNET or PSInet across NSFnet or the DDN

unless you, once again, are doing federal research or are involved

with a university.  This makes the AlterNET and PSInet services

good for connecting geographically separated portions of a company's

network, but poor for your average Joe at home that wants to

FTP stuff from NSFnet sites.  AlterNET and PSInet people will

help take care of the site setup and administration details, but

they get paid well to do that.

If we could just get the feds to change their restrictions on the

use of the NSF & other backbones...  1/2 :-)

Followups should probably go to email, since there isn't a usenet

group that discusses this subject.

One way to get an internet address for a PC at home, is to get a FIDO address

(look for local FIDO BBS's and check with them about getting an address)

after you have that, sent FIDO-NET Mail to 325/101 (James Pallack) and ask

him for the required programs, as he has such a gateway working here in

Vermont, and I have passed several files and such through that gateway to

Send mail to info@psi.com.  They operate a network that has direct

dialup internet addressing.  They are a tad pricey, but should

offer what you want.  They have a multitude of services, including

Usenet and email, sortof like uunet but geared more towards the

commercial end.

Dave,

  This has been covered on this net before (several times in the past 6 months

in fact).  The upshot has been that making a linkup so that a Ham can

telnet to you over internet and then use your station is legal and fine.

To have a ham read internet mail without going over the radio (i.e. a local

console on the internet computer) and then having that ham post those

articles he finds of interrest onto ham packet is legal and fine.  THe

questionable stuff is where a ham can log onto an internet machine via

packet and then play around out on the internet, including reading

mail and news.  That would not be legal unless ALL of the stuff that

he has access to is previewed by a ham.

Also, using ham for a link between two "internet" machines is not legal as

the traffic between the machines could have lots of non-ham traffic

across it.

  You might find the part 97 rules interresting to read.  I'm sure there's

a copy on the internet someplace.  (I hope there is).

The neat project would be to define a mod to the news header that internet

currently uses to include a 'read by a ham' spot that would include the

ham's callsign.  Then at your gateway between ham and internet you could

check for that semiphore and pass or not pass the traffic depending on it.

Hmmmm...

Hey There,

This question keeps popping up, along with the usual legality debate.   The

debate usually centers around the feasibility of filtering unwanted text

strings, business communications, etc.

The bottom line seems to be that it would be nigh impossible to automatically

monitor and filter all incoming traffic so to make it suitable for packet

radio.

I know ... our club had this idea about 5 years ago ...   it seems to pop up

on this board about every month or so.

People will tell you this is illegal.  Or at least that the persone providing

the packet/internet gateway would be open to the problem of passing traffic

on the air that might be illegal.  Anyhow, last night I monitored some tcpip

transmissions.  And the headers on the smtp packets were from amdahl.com.

So some folks are doing it.  Also the message talked about how wonderful

packet radio was and that there was gateways to the internet.  I just caught

this in trace mode.  If you hear any responses of folks doing this, please

let me know.

My machine (this machine) is on the internet.  I work in the computer dept at

the local university and I simply assigned myself a non 44.x.x.x address,

otherwise known as a 'real' ip address.  Works great.  I can send/receive

internet mail, and I can also ftp to any ip address.  My address at home is

129.100.29.33

Legal?  Who knows,   ask me no questions, and I tell you no lies....

The only 'complaints' I have ever seen where from some hams who eventually

started doing the same thing.

I do not use the link for business,  I simply receive info-hams, info-packet,

and IBMPC-L via smtp.  The only legal issue is probally the un-attended

running of a packet station.

I feel that most people forget that it is only a hobby, to be enjoyed, and not

something to fight about at all times.

PS:   I am at 1200 baud now, but I just bought a pair of mfj 2400 TNCs.  Hope

to speed up the link.

Maybe next year, DSY modems for real speed!

Pointers and Suggestions:

------------------------

1. Generally speaking, try terminal types 2, 5, or 11.

   They will enable you to search in English and other

   Latin alphabets (French, Spanish, transliterated Cyrillic, etc.)

   If you are accessing the system via TN3270 choose terminal type 5.

2. Hebrew and other soft fonts:

   ALEPH supports soft font alphabets (Hebrew, Cyrillic, Arabic, Greek, etc.).

   For users from abroad the soft font terminal types are 17, 18, or 19.

   You must have a VT320 or VT420 or Visual 603 terminal/emulation to display

   these fonts.

   A great deal of material has ben cataloged in Hebrew, and

   a lesser amount in Arabic.  Cyrillic cataloging has only just

   begun.  Some Arabic records have been cataloged in transliterated

   Hebrew, and some Cyrillic records have been cataloged in

   transliterated English.  Consult each OPAC for specific details.

Suggestions for Israeli Internet Users:

--------------------------------------

1. If you are interested in Hebrew, and own a pc bought in Israel,

   use the Hebrew Kermit program (HKermit), written at Hebrew

   University, to connect to ALEPH.  You should be using a vt100

   emulation, and your pc must have an EGA card.

   To obtain HKermit

   ftp noa.huji.ac.il

   login: anonymous

   password: your_full_name

   cd pub

   set file type binary

   get mskermit.ini

   Please note that the file is an initialization file. It is recommended

   that you create a separate directory in which you keep a copy of your

   mskermit.exe and the special mskermit.ini. Use this directory for

   accessing ALEPH.  Choose terminal type 3 when you use Hebrew Kermit.

2. If you have a VT220 protocol terminal with a standard Hebrew chip

   using standard Hebrew ASCII mapping you can display Hebrew. The

   Hebrew used is DEC 8-bit ASCII.  Choose terminal type 11.

3. Terminal types 1 and 4 have a Hebrew chip specially adapted and

   only available in Israel.

4. Hebrew and Other Soft Fonts:

   If you have a VT320 or VT420 or Visual 603 with a Hebrew chip,

   use terminal types 27, 28, and 29 to display Hebrew and other

   soft font alphabets.

                              ************

                              ONLINE ALEPH

                              ************

Once inside ALEPH, you will generally see a Main Menu Screen from which

you can begin to search the online catalog. Instructions are available

in Hebrew and English. To change from one language to another type a

question mark "?".

Use the LB command to switch from one library OPAC to another, all the

while maintaining your ALEPH session.  The switch will be transparent to

you.  At times a library might be inaccessible. This is generally at

night, when maintenance jobs are running that lock certain files.  If

this happens switch to another library in the network.

To exit Aleph type STOP.

Obtaining Host and Address Information

                                 Version 1.0

                               October 19, 1990

Electronic mail is one of the most popular facilities used on wide area

networks. Users separated by hundreds or thousands of miles can exchange

messages and documents on-line, usually in a small period of time. Like U.S.

postal mail, electronic mail uses an addressing scheme to ensure correct

delivery of messages. Unlike U.S. postal mail, the form of the electronic

mail address varies from one network to the next. In general, an electronic

mail address is composed of a username and a computer host name.

Unfortunately, there is no general scheme for disseminating host names and

usernames.

Finding information about a host on a wide-area network can be surprisingly

difficult. One common problem involves finding information  about a username

and a host name when only a personal name and an organization name is

available. The best solution to this problem is to contact the person by

postal mail or phone and ask for their username and network address.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible. The user may not be available or

they may not know their network address. Other common problems include

finding a network address when only the host name is known and finding a

username when the network address is known but the username is not known. If

there is no  way to contact the intended recipient by mail or phone, a

detective game must be played using whatever resources a given network

provides. These  resources vary from network to network. They are often

indifferently documented and sometimes several overlapping resources are

available on the same network. The purpose of this document is to acquaint

the reader with some of the resources that are available and how they are

used. Readers   should note that this document is most applicable to the

resources available at or from the Hopkins network. An attempt has been

made, however, to provide enough general information to aid users at other

sites.

I. Bitnet. Bitnet is a wide-area network of about 3000 hosts connected

mostly by point-to-point links. Bitnet address information is probably

easier to find than address information associated with other  wide area

networks. This is due to several factors. One, all Bitnet host names are

included in a single file that's kept on every host connected to the Bitnet.

An organization name is usually included following the Bitnet address. It's

possible to search this hosts file using the organization name as the search

string, and find the host address or addresses associated with this

organization. The name and location of this file should be obtained from the

system administrator since it varies from system to system. Second, there is

a central facility which provides a database, informational files and other

resources about Bitnet. Finally, there are a variety of other hosts, called

LISTSERVs, that  provide files, databases of usernames and other resources.

The Bitnet Information Center  keeps files of host names, host information,

gateways to other networks, etc. on line for retrieval. In addition, some

files can be searched with a database server which will return, via mail,

only those records that are selected by the search. The host name associated

with the Bitnet information center is BITNIC. It should be noted here that

Bitnet is connected to identical networks in Canada and Europe named

NetNorth and Earn. There are  nodes on these networks running the NETSERV

file servers that provide similar information to that provided by BITNIC.

I.1. NETSERV. A list of files available from BITNIC can be retrieved by

sending the following interactive command to BITNIC's file server  (named

NETSERV):

  $ send  NETSERV@BITNIC get NETSERV filelist  ! for VMS machines running JNET

   tell NETSERV at BITNIC get NETSERV filelist  ! for VM/CMS machines

Note, most of these files are lists of other files that can be received.

A particular file can be retrieved with the command:

     $ send NETSERV@BITNIC get <filename> <filetype> ! for VMS machines

     tell NETSERV at BITNIC get <filename> <filetype> ! for VM/CMS machines

One important piece of information that can be retrieved in this fashion is

the so-called node entry. This record contains things like the electronic

mail address of the host administrator, the type of computer etc. Sometimes

the Bitnet host name is known but the mail recipient's username is not

known. In this case, the host node entry can be consulted for the

postmaster's electronic mail address. The postmaster can be asked, via E-mail,

for information about the desired address. The node entry information can be

obtained with the following command:

   $ send NETSERV@BITNIC get nodentry <nodename> ! for VMS machines running

                                                   JNET

     tell NETSERV at BITNIC get nodentry <nodename> ! for VM/CMS machines

More information about using NETSERV at BITNIC can be obtained with the

command:

     $ send NETSERV@BITNIC get helpfile             ! for VMS machines running

                                                      JNET

     tell NETSERV at BITNIC get helpfile             ! for VM/CMS machines

It's also worth noting that NETSERV commands can be placed in the first

line of a mail message sent to NETSERV@BITNIC.

I.2. LISTSERVs. LISTSERV is software developed for IBM VM/CMS Bitnet hosts.

The original function of this software was to service mailing lists. Since

then the software has been updated to offer other features such as file

service, user directory service , on-line help and a database server. A list

of LISTSERV servers (and other Bitnet servers) can be obtained by sending

the command:

$ send service@BITNIC get Bitnet servers              ! for VMS machines

                                                        running JNET

tell service at BITNIC get Bitnet servers             ! for VM/CMS machines

One of the things that is contained in this file is a list of LISTSERV's

that have user directory services. If it's necessary to find someone's

username at one of these hosts, the command:

$ send LISTSERV@<nodename> /whois  <search-string>    ! for VMS machines

                                                        running JNET

tell LISTSERV at <nodename> /whois <search-string>    ! for VM/CMS machines

where search-string is a personal name or some substring of a personal name,

will return the username associated with the search string (if it's in their

database). Some LISTSERV's maintain a general user directory service  for

users anywhere on the Bitnet. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to  find

out who subscribes to these LISTSERVs. The LISTSERV at the host MARIST has

the largest collection of usernames since it keeps the names of all

subscribers to Bitnet mailing lists.

A list of Bitnet related files can be obtained from LISTSERV by means of the

command:

$ send LISTSERV@BITNIC get netinfo filelist            ! for VMS machines

                                                         running JNET

tell LISTSERV at BITNIC get netinfo filelist            ! for VM/CMS machines

or by sending the text:

get netinfo filelist

on the first text line of a mail message sent to LISTSERV@BITNIC.

LISTSERVs also have a database server. Documentation for the database server

is contained in the file LISTDB MEMO. This file can be obtained with the

command:

$ send LISTSERV@BITNIC get listdb memo                  ! for VMS machines

                                                          running JNET

tell LISTSERV at BITNIC get listdb memo                 ! for VM/CMS machine

Special software can be obtained for VMS and VM machines that allows the

LISTSERV database server to be accessed interactively. Mail can also be used

to access the database server but the commands must be incorporated in a

special job shell. A sample job shell  is shown below:

// Job

Database Search DD=Rules

//Rules DD *

command 1

command 2

...

/*

The following mail text could be used to find all records in the BITEARN

database that contain the string "university of central florida":

// Job

Database Search DD=Rules

//Rules DD *

search University of Central Florida in BITEARN

print

/*

All records containing "University of Central Florida" will be returned when

the above job is mailed to LISTSERV.  This is obviously not desirable

behavior if a general search is done on a  large database.  The command

"index" should be substituted for "print" if a large number of  records may

be accessed, . The index command returns the record number and a brief

description of each record accessed by the search command. This information

can be used to request specific records. For example, the following job

could be mailed to LISTSERV:

// Job

Database Search DD=Rules

//Rules DD *

search florida in bitearn

index

/*

An index of all records containing the string florida would be retuned.

Interesting records could be then be obtained by mailing the following job to

LISTSERV:

// Job

Database Search DD=Rules

//Rules DD *

search florida in bitearn

print <record-number> <record-number> ...

/*

The document named LISTDB MEMO should be consulted for more information about

using the LISTSERV database server.

A final point that should be noted is that in this entire section on Bitnet

we have pretended, for simplicity's sake, that the various Bitnet

information resources  are only available from BITNIC. There are a number of

information servers on Bitnet that may be closer in a network sense then

BITNIC but yet provide the same information. The file BITNET SERVERS is

available at BITNIC and contains a list of all the servers and services they

provide.

II. The Internet. The Internet is a rapidly growing wide-area network of

more  than 100,000 hosts. It is not really a single network. Instead, it is

a network of networks, whose host names are partitioned in a tree-like

fashion. The partitions, and sub-partitions, etc. are called domains.

Responsibility for the internet domains is largely local to the domain. Each

domain has its own organization and contacts. Information about hosts

associated with a domain are provided by the domain name service. Several

hosts associated with a given domain are designated as nameservers for the

domain. The nameservers keep information about the hosts associated with the

domain and /or other nameservers associated with further partitions of their

domain. Internet hosts needing address information about hosts associated

with a domain automatically query the appropriate nameserver. Note, internet

hosts running  old versions of the internet communications software, tcp/ip,

may be unable to do this. These hosts  have to resort to using large but

incomplete tables of internet hosts.  Central information for the internet

is provided by the Network Information Center, NIC. NIC provides information

about first and second  level domains, manages the registration of domains

and provides general  support for the internet.

Troubles with host names and addresses and with E-mail addresses can often

be resolved by first using facilities provided by NIC, such as whois, and

then manually querying the Domain Name Service for local domain

information.

II.1. The whois database maintains information about hosts, domains and

users. Information from the database can be obtained by running a whois

client program from a remote host, by telneting to nic.ddn.mil and running

the whois program interactively, or by sending mail to server@nic.ddn.mil

with a database query in the subject line. Note, telnet is the remote login

application provided with tcp/ip.

Not all hosts on the internet are in the whois database. Instead,

information about the top two domains is maintained. This information

includes an E-mail address of a contact person for that domain. Some

individual hosts and individual usernames are also registered with the NIC

and therefore available from whois.

Information about domains can be obtained by issuing the following

command:

whois domain  jhu.edu      ! where jhu.edu is the domain for

                           ! which information is desired

This command can be included in the subject line of a mail message sent

to service@nic.ddn.mil. Information returned by this query includes the

E-mail address of the responsible person for the domain, organization

name and address and addresses of the domain name servers.

A wildcard search can be done by including a dot or dots after the

argument.  This will match all records whose specified field begins with

the argument. Note, a general search on all fields of the database can

be achieved by leaving off the keyword argument and simply typing in the

text to be searched for.  For example, the following query would return

several records, one of which would be the domain jhu.edu:

whois jhu...

If a general search is done and/or if a wildcard is used many database

entries may be located. In this case a summary of the records found will be

returned. Full information on a particular record can then be requested by

specifying the desired record more completely as, for example, "domain

jhu.edu", or by  specifying the record's handle in the database query. A

record's handle is a unique identifier associated with each record in the

database. The handle is always enclosed in parentheses and always follows

the  record's name. A query of the form:

whois handle net-jhu

will return just the record associated with the handle net-jhu. Some

record types have subdisplays associated with them. A subdisplay is

simply additional information associated with a record. For example,

host records have a subdisplay of registered users. The output keyword

of "expand"  forces the output of all subdisplays associated with a

record. The following query will show all the registered users

associated  with the host jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu:

whois host expand jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu

If some information is known about an internet hosts domain,

organization name, or other associated field, whois can be used to

initiate a hierarchical search for the necessary information. Locating

the domain or network record will provide a E-mail address. Inquiries

could be made to this address for other E-mail addresses  associated

with lower level domains or individual hosts that might be able to

provide help. Alternately, the domain service addresses provided could

be used with another utility called nslookup to obtain further

information. Finally, the desired host or E-mail address information may

be directly obtainable from whois. The proportion of registered to

non-registered hosts and addresses is small, however. The query:

whois help

can be used to obtain more information about the use of whois. It should

be noted that some client versions of whois have a  different command

syntax then that described above.

II.2. A number of online files are kept at NIC. These include files

containing addresses of responsible persons for domains, files

detailing host administrator duties, etc. They can be accessed by

anonymous FTP or by sending mail to service@nic.ddn.mil. To get a list

of  what types of files are available, send mail to service@nic.ddn.mil

with the command "help" in the subject line: To retrieve a specific

file, use the command "send XXX" where XXX is a fully specified

filename. For example, host administrator addresses are contained in the

file named HADMINBYADDR.TXT located in the netinfo directory. The

command:

send netinfo:hadminbyaddr.txt

when included in the subject line of a mail message to service@nic.ddn.mil

can be used to obtain the file by mail.

II.3 Nslookup.  Nslookup is a utility that allows users to query

nameservers.  It can be used to get addresses associated with host names,

host names associated with addresses, mail addresses of the server manager,

as well as to locate a server  associated with a particular domain. The

reader should be aware that nslookup is not always available on hosts with

internet access. Also, the syntax used in the following material may not

apply to all implementations of nslookup.

Some tcp/ip implementations don't have the ability to use nameservers.

Instead, they keep tables of addresses and host names. If these hosts need

to access another host whose address is not in their table, they can consult

someone with access to nslookup to obtain the address. Addresses associated

with a particular domain  name can be obtained by typing the domain name in

response to the nslookup prompt. For example, the address associated with

the host name jhmail.hcf.jhu.edu would be obtained as follows:

$ nslookup

> jhmail.hcf.jhu.edu.

Sometimes users will have a particular address and will want to know the

host  name associated with the address. To obtain a host name

associated with a particular address the address is entered with the

bytes reversed followed by .in-addr.arpa. For example, to get the host

name  associated with the address 128.220.2.7 type:

$ nslookup

nslookup> set type=ptr

nslookup> 7.2.220.128.in-addr.arpa

The nameservers allow hosts that are not really internet hosts to appear to

be on the internet for mail purposes. This is done by means of mail

exchange or MX records.  Unfortunately, not all mailers can do MX lookups.

When the situation occurs where a correct appearing address doesn't work

with mail or where a simple nslookup query for the address doesn't work, the

nameserver should be queried for the existence of an MX record. This can be

done by  entering:

nslookup> set type=mx

nslookup> enter-the-address-here

If an MX record exists for an address and if a particular mailer can't

do MX  lookups, an address of the following form will probably work:

username%mail-address@MX-address

Nslookup can be used to provide information about who maintains a domain's

nameserver. This user, the technical contact, may be able to provide

additional information when contacted via E-mail. If a nameserver associated

with a particular domain is known, the procedure is as follows:

nslookup>set type=soa

nslookup> jhu.edu

A variety of domain information will be returned, one item of which is the

E-mail address of the technical contact. The relevant line of output will

begin with the string "mail addr =" . The mail address is in the form:

username.hostname.domain-name

and will have to be changed to:

username@hostname.domain-name

The address of the nameserver associated with a given domain can be obtained

as follows:

nslookup> set q=ns

nslookup> domain-name

A listing of hosts by domain can be obtained from nslookup by using the

"ls <domain>" command where domain is the domain associated with the

nameserver.

Bitnet or other users with no direct access to nslookup can still get the

basic nslookup information by sending mail to nslookup@sh.cs.net. Domain

style addresses can be placed in the body of the message, one per line, and

mail will be returned listing all the nameserver records for the named

domains.

III.UUCP. The uucp software developed for Unix systems has been used to

create a wide-area network. This network is even less centralized than

the internet. Access to this network is gained by running uucp and

getting dial-up access to another host already on the network. There are

no official requirements for membership and hosts can join or leave the

network in an unobtrusive fashion. This informality frequently produces

problems with addressing.  The Uucp project was created to deal with

these problems. "Official" uucp hosts register their name with the Uucp

project at host uunet. Maps of the uucp network are available from uunet

and can be used by software named Pathalias to route information between

uucp hosts. Formerly, users had to specify the entire route in a so

called "bang style" address. A  "bang style" address looks like

hosta!hostb!hostc!username. A mail message sent with this address would

travel to hosta, then to hostb and finally to hostc.

Users connected to the uucp network rarely have to specify routing

information in the E-mail address. Pathalias usually handles the routing.

Occasionally, however, some problem will arise where some routing

information must be obtained, such as fixing a garbled return address. In

addition, since uucp hosts can have a domain style name, it is sometimes

necessary to determine whether a host is really a uucp host, or whether it's

an internet host.

Interactive information about a UUCP host can be obtained by sending an

interactive Bitnet command of the following form:

$ send/command psuvax1 uuhosts  <uucp-host-name>        ! for VMS machines

                                                          running JNET

SM RSCS CMD PSUVAX1 uuhosts  <uucp-host-name>           ! for VMS/CMS machines

Information about the path to the host can similarly be obtained by:

$ send/command  psuvax1 uupath <uucp-host-name>         ! for VMS machines

                                                          running JNET

SM RSCS CMD PSUVAX1 uupath <uucp-host-name>              ! for VM/CMS machines

The UUCP maps can be examined to get items like the postmaster address,

mailing address, etc. The maps are posted in the USENET group

comp.mail.maps and must be unpacked or uncompressed. These maps are also

available for anonymous FTP from uunet.uu.net in directory uumap.

IV. Info-nets. Info-nets is a mailing list that provides information about

addresses, location of users and gateways, and similar matters. Questions

can be sent to the list and experienced volunteer members of the list will

usually attempt to provide answers. The list can be subscribed to by sending

a subscription request to info-nets-requests@think.com. Questions are

addressed to info-nets@think.com. Questions that include as much information

as possible, such as full headers of bounced mail messages, etc. and that

that show that you have made an effort to solve the problem on your own are

most likely to be answered. Archives of info-nets questions and answers are

kept on some Bitnet servers, such as the one at BITNIC. Users can request

these files with interactive or mailed file server commands as outlined in

the beginning of this document. A list of the archives can be obtained with

the interactive command:

$ send  LISTSERV@BITNIC get notebook filelist

tell LISTSERV at BITNIC get notebook filelist

This returns a list of all the archive files stored on BITNIC. Each

archive or notebook is named infonets logXXXX where XXXX is a date like

8909. For example, the infonets archive for September 1989 can be

obtained with the interactive command:

$ send LISTSERV@BITNIC get infonets log8909

tell LISTSERV at BITNIC get infonets log8909

In addition, the archives can be searched using the LISTSERV database server

at BITNIC. A search for all records containing the string china could be

done by sending mail to LISTSERV@BITNIC with the following text:

// Job

Database Search DD=Rules

//Rules DD *

search china in infonets

index

/*

The index could be consulted and the desired records could be obtained by

record number by sending mail to LISTSERV@BITNIC with the following

text:

// Job

Database Search DD=Rules

//Rules DD *

search china in infonets

print <record-number> <record-number> ...

/*

More information about using the LISTSERV database service is found

in section I.2.

V. Suggested Reading. Several books have recently been published which

provide information about networks, gateways, addresses and network

resources. They are listed below.

The Matrix:  Computer Networks and Conferencing Systems Worldwide

by John S. Quarterman, Digital Press, 1989.

Users' Directory of Computer Networks

by Tracy Lynn LaQuey, Digital Press, 1989.

!:/@\A Guide to Electronic Mail Networks and Addressing

by Donnalyn Frey and Rick Adams, O'Reilly & Associates, 1989.

                                Appendix A.

This appendix lists a variety of services and techniques which may be

of use in obtaining host and address information.

1. White Pages. A large database of E-mail addresses has been created as

   a demonstration project. Users with internet access can receive

   help on how to use it by telneting to wp.nyer.net, logging in as

   fred and typing "help".

2. Internet name expansion. Some internet hosts have mail software

   that will allow remote users to verify if a given username exits on the

   host. For example, if a user wants to contact someone named fred on a host

   named generic.name.edu, they can check if the username fred exits on that

   host by telneting to port 25 on generic.name.edu and typing "VRFY fred".

   If the username fred is valid, the mailer might return something like

   "Fred Smith <fred.generic.name.edu>". Typing the command "quit" will

   terminate the telnet session.

3. Batch ftp (BFTP). BFTP allows non-internet hosts to obtain files from

   internet hosts. The files must be freely available. To get instructions

   for using this service, send mail to info-server@sh.cs.net with the

   following message in the text:

   request: info

   topic: help-ftp

   request: end

   Note, the host sh.cs.net also provides an E-mail nslookup service. See

   section II.3.

4. Network Guide. A guide on how to send mail from one network to

   another is available from lietserv@unmvm. The file name is NETWORK

   GUIDE and it contains gateway information for many different

   network to network mail transfers in a concise format.


Frequently asked questions about LISTSERV

         Revised LISTSERV System Reference Library, Release 1.7c

          -----------------------------------------------------

                     Copyright (c) Eric Thomas 1992

                     Last update: April 19th, 1992

Thank  you for  having  ordered  this document  instead  of posting  your

question to a mailing list. This is a good start - now you will learn how

to find the answer  to your questions by yourself. There  is no file with

frequently asked  questions and answers,  because nobody has had  time to

prepare  one, and  it would  become obsolete  pretty fast  unless it  was

regularly updated. There is, however, a  process which allows you to find

up-to-date answers to frequently  asked questions: the database functions

of LISTSERV. Most of the questions  about LISTSERV you might ever have to

ask  have  been   answered  already  on  the   LISTSERV  discussion  list

(LSTSRV-L), which held about 6,500 messages at the time this document was

written. You can search this database on any of the following hosts:

   BITNET nodeid      Internet hostname

   -------------      -----------------

   POLYGRAF           GRAF.POLY.EDU  (NY state, USA)

   SEARN              SEARN.SUNET.SE (Stockholm, Sweden)

   UGA                UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (Georgia, USA)

Before you  start shaking your  head and wondering  where on earth  I got

such a silly idea  for a FAQ file, let me give you  an example. Let's say

you want to find out the exact syntax of netwide unsubscription requests.

Here are the results of an actual search:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

> search netwide in lstsrv-l

--> Database LSTSRV-L, 195 hits.

> index

006466 92/04/17 09:27   14   Re: Netwide deletion

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's right,  one hundred and ninety  five messages are related  to your

question,  and the  first  one dates  back to  1988.  That first  message

contains a description of the facility, complete with syntax and a sample

job  file.  It  is  now  obsolete in  some  respects,  but  still  mostly

applicable, and it probably does  answer your question. You will probably

object that this  is a rather generic question, and  that yours is, quite

to the contrary, very specific indeed:  you got an "Internal error number

2013" while  posting to a  list, and  want to know  what to do  about it.

Fine, let's try it...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A search like that takes at most 5 minutes when you are familiar with the

database functions, and gives you a comprehensive answer if there is one.

You will  not have to thank  20 people individually for  having taken the

time to answer you by private mail. You will not irritate the subscribers

of the  list, who  want to  talk about more  interesting things  than the

syntax of  netwide deletions.  You will not  embarass yourself  by having

asked  a question  that invariably  comes up  once a  week, or  one whose

answer should have been "obvious" if it hadn't been so late or you hadn't

had a cold or... People often  apologize for having asked such questions,

which further adds to the traffic on  the mailing list, but I have yet to

see someone  apologizing to a  computer for having  wasted its time  on a

database search.

No matter  how you look at  it, you win. The  only cost to you  is time -

both  to learn  how to  use the  database functions,  and to  perform the

actual search if the network is slow  or if you are not yet familiar with

the database system. But the more you try it, the more efficient you will

become and the less  you will be slowed down by  network delays: you will

soon be  able to find the  information you want in  2-3 "batch" searches,

which you can send and forget about until the answer comes back. Granted,

you will not get the answer until the network has delivered the file, but

the same is true with any question posted to the list via mail - it's the

same  destination, after  all. A  well-trained "searcher"  with a  couple

EXEC's/COM files/scripts to assist in  sending requests via mail and good

connectivity to one of the archive sites can easily obtain an answer from

the computer in less time than a human being could type a new one, unless

of course the answer is very short (like "No, this cannot be done").

But there is much more to the  database functions than a system to answer

questions about LISTSERV, which in itself might not be worth the learning

investment.  Answering  questions  about  LISTSERV  is  but  one  of  the

countless uses you  can put your searching knowledge to.  LSTSRV-L is but

one mailing list out  of the 3,000+ there are on BITNET -  and it's up to

you to explore the others as well. A well-trained searcher can obtain the

answer  to almost  any  question  about any  academic  topic  in some  15

minutes, by tapping the archives of one of these mailing lists - find the

right list  with LIST GLOBAL  or with the  LISTS database, then  find the

answer as  usual. There are lists  about the biology of  bees and camels,

about the best type of bacteria to use in brewing beer, about holography,

early music, boats, all kinds of  social and scientific subjects, and, of

course, about anything closely or remotely related to computers. All this

wealth of  information is available  through a SINGLE interface,  so what

are you doing reading this when you could be learning about it now?

Bibliography:

- Send an INFO DATABASE to LISTSERV for a copy of the database manual. Do

  not worry too much  about the date - there have  been so little changes

  since the  original version that the  documentation did not need  to be

  updated.

- Release notes (descriptions of the changes from one release of LISTSERV

  to the next  one) are available from LISTSERV@SEARN  as 'Vnnt RELNOTES'

  (for instance, V17B RELNOTES describes the changes introduced in 1.7b).

  You can  also find this  sort of information  via the database,  but it

  will be  scattered across a number  of separate messages over  a rather

  long period of time; if you want to know "What's new?", these files and

  the archives of the LSTSRV-M list (also at SEARN) are the best place to

  look.

- You may want  to subscribe to the LDBASE-L list  and read the archives,

  if you have BITNET connectivity and your system runs VM or VMS.


What is LISTSERV? What is Revised LISTSERV?

        Revised List Processor (LISTSERV@FRECP11), Release 1.5d

         ----------------------------------------------------

             (c) Eric Thomas 1986 Ecole Centrale de Paris

  You can  skip the introduction  and go  to the commands  description by

instructing your text editor to  locate the string "GENCOM" (eg "/GENCOM"

under XEDIT).

    LISTSERV stands for "list server"...  but what does that mean? Origi-

  nally, LISTSERV  was a mailing-list  server which was designed  to make

  group communication easier.  The first version of  LISTSERV, written by

  EDUCOM and  installed at BITNIC  under the userid of  LISTSERV, offered

  basic "mail-exploding" capabilities. People  with a common interest (eg

  network protocols,  issues related to handicapped  people in education,

  system administration problems)  were grouped in a list  which was then

  stored on LISTSERV. They could then communicate with each other by sen-

  ding mail to  a special network address (eg UG-L@BITNIC).  Any piece of

  mail sent to these special user-ids would then be automatically distri-

  buted by the list server to each  and every person on the list. You did

  not have to know all the names and network addresses of the people sub-

  scribed to  the list. The  usual messages  sent by the  mailing systems

  when mail  has been successfully delivered  were sent to LISTSERV  -- a

  big relief  for the sender...  People could join  a list by  asking the

  "list coordinator" (actually the person  who maintains the list server)

  to be added to the list and it was a very convenient way to meet people

  and participate in interesting discussions/forums.

    As LISTSERV became  popular and the number of lists  grew, it started

  to show some weaknesses and  limitations. Even though LISTSERV was ins-

  talled at a central site, it generated a very important traffic because

  there was an important number of  people from distant nodes in the net-

  work. If there  were ten persons of  the same node on a  given list, it

  sent ten copies of each piece of mail to the node. List maintenance be-

  came a problem  because of the evergrowing number of  requests for sub-

  scription. Mail headers became bigger and  bigger, and 30 lines was not

  an uncommon size. Some non-VM  users had troubles accessing the server,

  could not send commands  nor mail to it and received  files in a format

  their system was not able to read.  Non-mail files could not be sent to

  a list. The server was often caught  looping on a rejection mail from a

  network  mailer. No  help  or command  description  was available,  and

  unknown  commands  were  ignored.  Sending a  "HELP"  command  did  not

  produce any kind of answer from the server.

    Revised LISTSERV is  a brand new list processor  which was developped

  at the Ecole  Centrale de Paris in France to  overcome the restrictions

  and lack of functionnality of the first version of LISTSERV. It retains

  the basics of the old LISTSERV and provides good ascending compatibili-

  ty,  while offering  more sophisticated  functions, helpfiles  and more

  user-friendliness. Revised  LISTSERVs can be linked  together to create

  peer lists for better network efficiency in a way that is nearly trans-

  parent for the user. Users can send a command to the server to subscri-

  be to  a list. For more  information about the differences  between the

  BITNIC-type LISTSERV  and Revised LISTSERV, send  the following command

  to the nearest Revised LISTSERV:   Info FEATures   (or just: I FEAT)

!   Additionally,  Revised LISTSERV  provides powerful  file-server func-

! tions which  allow list moderators  to make pertinent  datafiles and/or

! programs available to the subscribers of their lists. For more informa-

! tion on  this new feature, issue  the following command to  the nearest

! Revised LISTSERV:  Info FILE

********************************************************************

* Terminology and general information about LISTSERV documentation *

********************************************************************

    All the  information guides  available from  LISTSERV follow  the IBM

  convention that changes since last  release are indicated by a vertical

  bar in  column one. These  vertical bars  are "reset" when  the release

  number is  incremented. Post-releases (indicated by  a lowercase letter

  following the release number, eg "1.3c") will have exclamation marks in

  column one  to indicate the changes  from the base release  (1.3 in our

  example) and to differentiate them from  the vertical bars that must be

  reset when the next version (1.4 in our example) is released. Temporary

  restrictions/warnings will be indicated by a ">" sign in column one and

  will stay until the restriction is  removed or the warning is no longer

  applicable.

    Backwards  compatibility  of all  documented  features  will be  kept

  across  release changes  unless  technically impossible  (eg a  feature

  which is discovered to be  incompatible with system security). Applica-

  tions programmers should  be careful not to use any  feature or command

  which is not documented since these are subject to change without noti-

  ce.

    All throughout the LISTSERV documentation, several terms will be used

  to refer to  distribution lists, mailing systems, etc. Here  is a short

  definition for some of them:

    "Distribution list", "LISTSERV list", "list":  this is a list of per-

     sons to be used by LISTSERV to distribute mail and/or program files.

     It can be reviewed by sending a "REView" (qqv) command to the server

    "List title": this is the "title"  of the list, eg "IBM 7171 protocol

     converter list". It appears in the "Sender:" field of every piece of

     mail distributed to the list.

    "List name": this is the 1-8  characters name by which a distribution

     list is  identified to  the server.  It will often  end in  "-L", eg

     "CHAT-L", "UG-L", etc.

    "List  userid": this  is the  network address/userid@node/mailbox  to

     which mail  and files must be  sent in order to  be redistributed to

     the list.  The first part  ("userid") will  always be the  list name

     (see above), while the second part  ("node") is the node name of the

     LISTSERV  server. Examples:  CHAT-L@DEARN,  UG-L@BITNIC. The  domain

     name (if required by your mailing system) is always ".BITNET"

    "LISTSERV userid": this  is the network address of  the LISTSERV ser-

     ver, eg LISTSERV@FRECP11.  The userid will usually  be LISTSERV, but

     could be something  else due to accounting  conventions or suchlike.

     This is the network address you must send commands to.

    "List owner": the person(s) who maintain the list and who have autho-

     rity to perform list-maintenance functions. You will sometimes get a

     message saying  that "Your  request has been  forwarded to  the list

     owner".

    "List editor": the person, if any, who reviews material sent by users

     to the  list before allowing the  server to distribute them.  If the

     list you send mail to is controlled by an editor, you will get a mes

     sage saying that "Your mail has  been forwarded to the list editor".

     Most distribution lists  do NOT have an editor and  mail received by

     the server is distributed "as is".

    "File format": the  "format" in which a computer  file is transmitted

     across the network. There are several formats which all have limita-

     tions or flaws,  and are not necessarily supported  by all operating

     systems. LISTSERV can  send files in five  different formats: Punch,

     Disk Dump,  Card Dump,  Netdata and  Listserv-Punch (issue  an "Info

     LPunch" command for more information on the latter). It accepts only

     three formats as input: Punch, Disk Dump and Netdata.

>    Card Dump format will be accepted as input in a future version.

>    There is no need to support Listserv-Punch format as input.

*******************************************************************

* Who should I contact if I have a problem with Revised LISTSERV? *

*******************************************************************

    In much the same way as  hierarchy does not exist in Revised LISTSERV

  lists (all the  servers are peers), there is no  hierarchy in the LIST-

  SERV "management", but three complementary categories of persons:

   - The list  owners: each list  will have one  or more owners,  who are

     authorized to  add or remove people  from the list, change  the list

     attributes, etc. They will have this authority on all the peer LIST-

     SERVs serving their list, and  can be considered as "list managers".

     They are the persons to contact if you have a problem which is speci

     fic to a particular list, eg  your name being misspelled in the mail

     header ("To:"), your  not being able to send mail  to the list, etc.

     Their name  and network  address appear  in the  header of  the list

     definition file (which you can  obtain by sending a "REView" command

     to the server -- see below) under the keyword "Owner=".

   - The "postmasters": each  LISTSERV will have one  or more postmasters

     (send a "RELEASE" command to get their names and network addresses).

     Postmasters are usually  systems programmers and are  the people who

     maintain the list servers and  make sure they operate properly. They

     create and delete lists on their servers but do not maintain them --

     that's what list owners are for. They have full authority over their

     own server and  all of its lists, but this  authority does not usual

     ly extend to  other LISTSERVs. This means that even  though they can

     modify the copy of  any list on their server, they  will not be able

     to affect peer lists on other  servers (if any). They do not qualify

     for list maintenance, unless the list has no peer.

     Being system administrators, postmasters are usually pretty busy and

     it will  probably take them  longer to  answer a question  than list

     owners. It is  therefore your interest to make sure  that you do not

     send them complaints  that ought to be directed to  list owners, and

     they will  be thankful  for the  time you  are saving  them. Typical

     questions that should  be sent to postmasters are:  "LISTSERV is not

     logged on, is it normal?", "Here is a copy of a piece of mail I sent

     to LISTSERV and it said it was not valid, why?", etc.

   - The LISTSERV  coordinators: their names, network  addresses and task

     are defined  in LISTCOOR MEMO (send  an "INFO COORD" to  obtain it).

     Basically, they (try  to) provide technical help  information to the

     postmasters,  assist new  LISTSERV  owners in  installing the  code,

     coordinate the placement of the servers and distributed lists on the

     network and correct bugs in the software. They have no special autho

     rity or privilege on the LISTSERVs  or their host systems and there-

     fore do not  qualify for list or server maintenance.  They should be

     contacted mainly by postmasters, and only for reporting bugs, sugges

     ting improvements to the software and for questions that the owners/

     postmasters were not  able to answer. They should of  course be con-

     tacted for obtaining a copy of the LISTSERV code.

  The following 3  sections are designed to help  non-BITNET or non-VM/SP

users in sending commands to LISTSERV  and mail to distribution lists. If

you are on  a BITNET VM system  and you are familiar  with this concepts,

just do a "/GENCOM" command to skip to the commands description.

****************************************

* How can I send commands to LISTSERV? *

****************************************

    Commands can  be sent  to LISTSERV in  three basic  ways: interactive

  messages, mail, and non-mail files.  The distinction between mail files

  and non-mail files is very important  on some systems and inexistant on

  others; some systems  provide only mail files, and some  will only have

  normal files. In  the following discussion it will be  assumed that you

  want to  send an  "Info GENintro"  command to  LISTSERV at  FRECP11 (or

  LISTSERV@FRECP11.BITNET in RFC822 terms).

   A) Interactive messages

      Interactive messages is a facility that is not available to all sys

    tems; besides, only computers which  are directly connected to BITNET

    can send interactive messages. However,  this is the fastest and most

    convenient way of sending commands to LISTSERV: all you have to do is

    send it  a message with  the command  text as message  text. Example:

    "*message* Info GENintro", where "*message*" is the command that must

    be used on your system to  send an interactive message to LISTSERV at

    FRECP11.

     - On VM/SP systems,  this command is "TELL LISTSERV  AT FRECP11", ie

       what you must do is "TELL  LISTSERV AT FRECP11 Info GENintro". You

       could also  use CP SMSG  rscs MSG FRECP11 LISTSERV  Info GENintro,

       where "rscs" is the name of the RSCS virtual machine at your site.

     - On MVS systems with TSO/E, this command would be TRANSMIT or XMIT:

       "TRANSMIT FRECP11.LISTSERV NOPROLOG"

       When the message  text screen is displayed,  enter "Info GENintro"

       as first text line and press PF3 to send it.

     - On some JES2 systems, the command could be TO, VMSG or XMSG, depen

       ding on the local implementation:

       "TO LISTSERV@FRECP11 Info GENintro"

     - On VAX systems the command would be "SEND" or "SEND/MSG":

       "SEND LISTSERV@FRECP11 Info GENintro"

     - Other systems  might, or  might as  well not,  have a  command for

       sending interactive messages. Please send any appropriate informa-

       tion to  the author for inclusion  in this help file,  other users

       will be thankful for the hint.

   B) Mail files

      Those systems which do  not have interactive messaging capabilities

    will usually have a mailing  system (although this is not necessarily

    the case).  "Command jobs" can  be submitted to LISTSERV  via RFC822,

    PROFS, or IBM  NOTE formatted mail. Systems which are  not capable of

    sending  mail in  any of  these standards  must resort  to the  third

    method (see below).  Command jobs can also be used  by people on sys-

    tems which do  have interactive messaging capabilities  for the usual

    reliability  reasons (messages  can be  lost in  a line  glitch while

    files are *much* safer), and  also because command jobs allow several

    commands to  be submitted at  once and  give better control  on their

    output. They are ideal for commands generated by programs or servers,

    as opposed to commands sent by human persons.

|     You can obtain  a detailed description of  the commands-job feature

|   by sending an "INFO JOB" command to LISTSERV.

      To send a command to LISTSERV via  mail, all you have to do is send

    mail to  the LISTSERV mailbox and  type in the command  text as first

    line in the mail  body or note or whatever it is  called in your sys-

    tem. You  can enter additional commands  if required, as long  as you

    type each command on a separate line. You will get a reply via RFC822

    mail, regardless of the mail agent you used to submit the command.

     - All VM systems  can send IBM NOTEs by issuing  a "NOTE LISTSERV AT

       FRECP11" command. Issue a "HELP NOTE" command for more information

       on the IBM NOTE command format.

     - VM systems equipped  with a Crosswell mailer can  send RFC822 mail

       by issuing a "MAIL LISTSERV@FRECP11" command. The subject field is

       ignored and needs not be specified.

     - PROFS users  will have no  problem finding  out how to  send PROFS

       mail  to LISTSERV;  however, the  piece of  mail must  be sent  as

       MAIL and not  as a DOCUMENT. Documents cannot be  sent to LISTSERV

       because LISTSERV is not a PROFS user.

     - Note: Netdata  files in NOTE  format generated by MVS  systems are

       not considered  as "mail"  files unless they  contain an  IBM NOTE

       formatted header, which is usually not the case. You should there-

       fore expect  them to be processed  as non-mail files when  sent to

       the LISTSERV userid.

     - There are other  commands on other systems of which  the author is

       not aware of. Any information would be appreciated.

   C) Non-mail files

      Those systems which do  not have interactive messaging capabilities

    nor mailing facility will be able to transmit normal files, otherwise

!   they would not  be on a network...  To submit a command  job to LIST-

!   SERV via non-mail file,  all you have to do is to  prepare a file (or

!   dataset) containing the required commands, one command at a line, and

!>  send it  to the  LISTSERV userid using  the appropriate  command. The

!>  "//" trick which was mandatory with the previous releases of LISTSERV

!>  is no longer required to identify the  file as a command job; it will

!>  of course still be accepted (and may even speed up command processing

!>  under certain conditions).

     - On  VM  systems the  command  is  "SENDFILE filename  filetype  TO

       LISTSERV AT  FRECP11". There are  a lot of other  specialized com-

       mands depending on  the format you wish to use,  but SENDFILE will

       work. Please  note that CARD  format is  not accepted as  INPUT to

       LISTSERV, although it does know how to generate it if specifically

       requested (see "F=" keyword description).

     - On MVS systems the command will usually be:

       "TRANSMIT FRECP11.LISTSERV  DATASET(dsname)", where dsname  is the

!      name of the dataset containing the command lines.

       Most MVS systems will also accept the following job:

       //       EXEC PGM=IEBGENER

       //SYSUT2 DD   SYSOUT=A,DEST=(FRECP11,LISTSERV)

     - On Multics  systems the command  is "sdm"  and you must  specify a

       destination of LISTSERV at node FRECP11 when prompted to enter it.

!      You must then enter "Info GENintro" as mail contents.

******************************************

* How do I send mail to a LISTSERV list? *

******************************************

    To send mail  to a LISTSERV distribution list, you  will have to know

  the network address  of this list. In the following  discussion we will

  assume that you want to  send mail to "SAMPLE-L@FRECP11.BITNET" (or, in

  IBM terms,  SAMPLE-L at FRECP11).  Mail can  be sent to  a distribution

  list in either of the two following ways:

   A) Using a mailing system

      If your system is equipped with a mailing facility, all you have to

    do is send mail to the  network address mentioned above. Refer to the

    information in the previous section  for a description of the command

    to be used on your system.

    Note: MVS NOTEs in Netdata format  fall in this category, even though

    they do not have a valid IBM NOTE formatted header. LISTSERV will ge-

    nerate a standard header and insert it on top of the note.

   B) Without any mailing system

      If your  system is not equipped  with a mailing facility,  you will

    have to  resort to files.  Note that LISTSERV distributed  mailing is

    primarily designed to work on systems who DO have a mailing facility;

|   sending mail as a normal file  is always possible (see below) but can

|   be quite tedious.

|     Mail can  always be  sent to  a distribution list  by means  of the

|   DISTRIBUTE MAIL  command. To do  so, you must prepare  a distribution

|   job as indicated  in LISTDIST MEMO (you can obtain  this memo by sen-

|   ding an "INFO DIST" command to  LISTSERV) with the list userid as one

|   and only  destination, and  a valid  RFC822 mail  (header +  text) as

|   "data". This method  should be used only if the  network interface in

|   your system is so poor that no other method can be used.

      To send mail  to SAMPLE-L@FRECP11, you will have to  prepare a file

    named  "anything NOTE",  "anything.NOTE",  etc, as  dictated by  your

    system's file naming conventions. The file name can be anything while

    the file  type/extension/whatever must  be "NOTE" (all  caps please).

    This file  must contain the text  to be distributed to  the list, and

    nothing else.  It must  be sent  "as is"  to SAMPLE-L@FRECP11.BITNET,

    using the  appropriate method.  LISTSERV will  generate a  header and

    add it on top of the file.

*******************************************************

* How do I send files to LISTSERV for redistribution? *

*******************************************************

    To send a file to LISTSERV for  redistribution, all you have to do is

  to send the desired  file "as is" to the list  userid. No header should

  be inserted, and no particular name is to be used. The only restriction

  on the  file name  is that  the filetype/file-extension/whatever  it is

! called on your system must not  be "MAIL" nor "NOTE". The only restric-

! tion on the contents of the file is  that it must not be a Netdata NOTE

! NOTE  file nor  a  PROFS-mail  formatted file  (otherwise  it would  be

  classified as a mail file).

    In some instances where the list  owner suspects that files might in-

  voluntarily be sent  to the list userid although they  are not destined

  for being redistributed, he will have  enabled an additional test to be

  performed on  the files  before redistributing them.  In that  case the

  server will expect  files destined for actual redistribution  to have a

  "FORM" value  of "REDIST"  (or "QUREDIST"  if you  want to  trigger the

  "Quiet file  transfer" feature installed  at some RSCS sites).  This is

  indicated by  a "Formcheck= Yes"  keyword in  the list header  (send an

  "Info KEYwords" for more information on list control keywords). Not all

  systems allow the user to control the FORM value of network files. On a

  VM system you would have to issue a "CP SPOOL PUNCH FORM REDIST" before

  issuing the SENDFILE command. On a  MVS system you would have to expand

  the SYSOUT= parameter of the IEBGENER dataset: SYSOUT=(A,,REDIST)

***********************************************

    A description  of command-keywords format  (eg "F=") can be  found at

  the end  of this section.  Please refer to  it for more  information on

  how, where and when to specify these keywords.

Info      <? | topic>                 <F=fformat>

  Sends you an information file like this one. Use "Info ?" for a list of

  topics. Please  note that some  of the documents available  through the

  INFO command are restricted to certain categories of users.

Help

  Sends you a  brief description of the most useful  commands, along with

  the names and network addresses of the server's postmasters.

List      <Detailed | Long | Short>   <F=fformat>

  Get a description of all lists. The default option is "Short", and will

  send you  a brief description of  each list (via messages).  The "Long"

  and "Detailed" options are synonyms and will send you the "header" por-

  tion of each list (via file).

Query     listname

  Displays  your list  distribution options  for the  corresponding list.

  Refer to the SET command description for more details on the meaning of

  these options.

SUBscribe listname <your_full_name>

SIGNUP

  Use this command to subcribe to a list. You will be automatically added

  to it unless the list owner has  disabled this option, in which case he

  will be sent  a request-for-addition note. If you  have misspelled your

  name when issuing this command in the  first place, you will be able to

  correct it  by re-issuing it without  having to sign off  from the list

  first. In  that case no  notification is sent  to the list  owner. Note

  that it is not  necessary to supply your full name  if you have already

  signed up to another list of the  same server. The name you provided on

  your  first signup  command  will  automatically be  used  for the  new

  subscription. Also note that you will  always be able to issue a signup

  command to correct your name, regardless of the list being open for au-

  tomatic subscription  or not: as long  as you are already  on the list,

  the  SUBSCRIBE command  is  not disabled  (unless the  list  is set  to

  "Validate= All commands" to protect  you from UREP hackers and suchlike

  who might issue a SUBSCRIBE command  "from" you and change your name to

  something you would  not want to see  in front of your  userid; in that

  case, your request will be forwarded to the list owner).

| In the case that the list has one or more peers and that the server you

| are sending your SUBscribe request to  is not the nearest to your node,

| it will  automatically determine the  nearest host server for  the list

| you are  subscribing to and  forward your  request to it.  This applies

| only if you are not yet subscribed to the list, of course.

SIGNOFF   listname

UNSubscribe

  This is  the counterpart of  the SUBSCRIBE  command. Note that  you can

  remove yourself  from any  list you  have been added  to, unless  it is

  specially protected by a "Validate=  All commands" keyword. Whether you

  have subscribed to  the list yourself or  you have been added  to it by

  the list owner is irrelevant.

SET       listname options

                   Mail/NOMail

                   Files/NOFiles

                   ACK/NOACK/MSGAck

  Changes your distribution  options for the specified list. You can spe-

  cify more  than one option  if desired.  The previous settings  will be

  retained unless specifically changed, ie if you want to change only one

  of the options you  do not have to specify the  settings of the options

  you do not want to change if they differ from the standard ones.

  If the  list is protected by  a "Validate= All commands"  keyword, your

  command  will not  be executed  but it  will be  forwarded to  the list

  owner.

  Mail/Nomail indicate whether you want to receive mail from this list or

  not. The default value is "Mail", of course.

  Files/NOFiles indicate whether you want  to receive non-mail files from

  the list or not. The default is  "Files", but it is recommended that no

  more than one person per node has this option active on any given list,

  for obvious network efficiency reasons.

  ACK/NOACK/MSGAck define the mode  in which acknowledgements for mailing

  or file distribution are to be sent  to you. ACK is the default and in-

  dicates that you want a file acknowledgement (short mail file which in-

  cludes some statistics on the mailing). NOACK directs the server not to

  send out any acknowledgement; a single message will be sent to you when

  the file  has been processed,  but nothing else. MSGAck  indicates that

  you are interested in the statistics report contained in the acknowled-

  gement but want it sent to you as messages rather than mail. It is pro-

  bably the best alternative for local lists (ie lists comprised of users

  from your local node only).

REView    listname  <(options>        <F=fformat>

                      LOCal

                      Msg

                      Countries

                      Short

                      NOHeader

  Sends you the  (formatted) contents of a list. Private  lists cannot be

! reviewed by users who  do not appear on it. However,  the header of the

! list (without any information about the subscribers) will still be sent

! to you even  if you are not  authorized to review the list,  as long as

! you would qualify  to obtain this header by means  of a "List Detailed"

! (qqv) command.

  The command will be automatically propagated to all the linked servers,

  if any, so  that you get the  complete list of all the  persons who are

  subcribed to the  list, not just the local subcription.  For a descrip-

  tion of the keywords defined in  the list header, please issue an "Info

  KEYwords" command to LISTSERV.

! If the  list is a  "centralized" one, ie a  list without any  peer, the

! output of the REVIEW command will  have a fileid of "listname LIST". If

! the list is found  to have one or more peers, the file  will be sent as

! "listname nodeid" so that a different fileid is generated for each peer

! list. This will make it easier to keep a copy of the list on your disk.

  The "LOCal" option indicates that you want only the list of subscribers

  served by the local LISTSERV and  that the command should therefore not

  be propagated to the peer servers.

  The "Msg" option causes the command output to be sent to you via inter-

  active messages, unless it is larger than 30 lines.

  The "Countries" option indicates that you  want a summary of the number

  of subscribers in each country, sorted by country name.

  The "Short"  options causes the list  of subscribers not to  be sent to

  you: only the list header and possible country summary is sent out.

  "NOHeader" is the counterpart of "Short" and suppresses the list header

  but not  the country  summary nor the  list of  subscribers. Specifying

  both "NOHeader" and  "Short" is valid and will display  only the number

  of persons  subscribed to the  list, and possibly the  country summary.

STats     listname  <(LOCal>         <F=fformat>

  Sends you the statistics report for the desired list. Note that statis-

  tics may have  been disabled for the  list, or may not  be available to

  everybody. The report will indicate  the total number of mailing opera-

  tions, the  number on  (non-local) outbound mail  files, the  number of

  (non-local) outbound  80-lines records and possibly  the resulting net-

  work load  in "link.kbytes". A  link.kbyte corresponds to one  kbyte of

  data being  transferred across one link,  512 bytes of data  being sent

  over two links, etc. When this  measurement is enabled, the server will

  compute the distance between itself and  all the recipients of the mai-

  ling operation  and compute the  exact "link.kbyte" amount.  Since this

  operation takes a relatively important  amount of CPU time and requires

  relatively large data files, it may  have been disabled by the postmas-

  ter in some cases.

  The "LOCal" option indicates that the command is not to be forwarded to

  the peer  servers linked to the  list. The default is  to propagate the

  command to all the servers housing a peer copy of the list.

GET       fn ft  <filelist_name>     <F=fformat>

SENDME

!

! Sends you  the requested file  provided you are authorized  to retrieve

! it. A more detailed description  of this command, including information

! about the optional "filelist_name" operand and the general structure of

! the FILELISTs can  be found in LISTFILE MEMO (send  an "Info FILE" com-

! mand to obtain it).

!

! Synonyms have been  defined for the GETND, GETDD, GETPP  and GET80 com-

! mands of Netserv.  "GETND xxxx" is translated to  "GET xxxx F=Netdata",

! etc. Note  that in  this implementation, GETPP  and GET80  are strictly

! equivalents and will cause the file to be sent in Listserv-Punch format

! if its logical record length is  greater than 80. Send an "Info LPUNch"

! command to  LISTSERV for more information  about Listserv-Punch format.

!

!>Note that the Netserv "prologtext" feature  is NOT yet supported on the

!>GET command.

INDex     <filelist_name>            <F=fformat>

!

! Sends you the specified filelist  (defaults to LISTSERV FILELIST). This

! command is strictly equivalent to  "GET filelist_name FILELIST" and has

! been made  available for compatibility  with other file servers  on the

! network.

PW         ADD    new_password

!          CHange old_password new_password

!          DELete old_password

!

! This command allows you to define yourself a password for use with LIST

! SERV, change that password, or delete it if you no longer need it. Note

! that the PW ADD function may have been disabled or restricted to a cer-

! tain category of  people by the local LISTSERV  management. Please con-

! tact the local LISTSERV management, not the author, if you find youself

! unable to  use the PW  ADD and think  you ought to  be able to  use it.

!

! A more detailed description of this command and the use of passwords in

! LISTSERV can be found in LISTAFD MEMO (which you can obtain by means of

! an "Info AFD" command).

AFD        ADD    filename filetype <filelist_name>  PW=password

FUI        DELete filename filetype <filelist_name>  PW=password

!          GET    filename filetype <filelist_name>

!          List

!          Query

!

! This command allows you to subscribe to a file or package which you are

! normally authorized to retrieve from the  server by means of a GET com-

! mand (qqv). AFD/FUI DELete will remove your subscription to one or more

! files/packages (wildcard  characters are accepted), while  AFD/FUI List

! or Query will list the files/packages to which you have subscribed. The

! GET option allows file owners to request a list of people who have sub-

! scribed to their files.

!

! AFD refers to  "Automatic File Distribution", ie  automatic shipment of

! the updated file,  while FUI refers to "File  Update Information", that

! is notification of the update  without the new file being automatically

! shipped to you.  There are two different commands, FUI  and AFD, with a

! (nearly) identical syntax,  and two independent lists, one  for FUI and

! one for AFD.

!

! A more detailed description of this command and the use of passwords in

! LISTSERV can be found in LISTAFD MEMO (which you can obtain by means of

! an "Info AFD" command).

!

! Note  that the  Netserv "prologtext"  feature is  supported on  the AFD

! command. See LISTAFD MEMO for more information.

PUT        filename <filetype <filelist_name <NODIST>>>

!          <PW=password> <LRECL=nnn> <RECFM=V|F> <"parameters">

!

! This command  allows file  owners to  store a file  in the  server. The

! default filetype is  "LIST" and causes a  normal list-storing operation

! to be  performed (this can be  useful for list owners  whose networking

! system does not  allow them to send  the file with a  spool filetype of

! "LIST"). Note  that the spool fileid  is completely ignored by  the PUT

! command. "NODIST" indicates  the file should not be  distributed to the

! other servers (in case the file is not a local one). The optional para-

! meters may be required for files which receive special handling -- con-

! tact the local LISTSERV operation staff  if you have any doubt on this.

!

! A more  detailed description of this  command can be found  in LISTFILE

! MEMO, which you can obtain by means of an "Info FILE" command.

RELEASE

  Sends you  information messages  containing the  release number  of the

  server and the names and network addresses of the server's postmasters.

  This is the  same information that you obtain from  a HELP command, but

  without the help information itself.

> Servers which have not yet installed  version 1.4 or better of LISTSERV

> will not understand that command.

SERVE     userid@node

|

| Returns service to a disabled user. To prevent loops and 'message wars'

| to occur, LISTSERV will automatically  "disable" a user after receiving

| 10 invalid commands from him. Further commands will be completely igno-

| red without any error message being  sent back, until service is resto-

| red from another userid/account by means of the SERVE command.

DISTribute < <MAIL> <DD=ddname> <FROM=userid@node | FROM=DD=ddname>

|            <ACK=NOne | MAIL | MSG> <TO DD=ddname | u@n1 <u@n2...>> >

!            <PRIOR=* | nn> <INFORM=MSG | MAIL>

|

| A complete description  of the DISTRIBUTE command can be  found in LIST

| DIST MEMO, which  can be obtained from LISTSERV by  sending it an "INFO

| DIST" command.

**********************************************************

* Command keywords: why, when, and where to specify them *

**********************************************************

    Command  keywords provide  a means  whereby some  command-independent

  information can  be passed to  the LISTSERV "supervisor" in  a standard

  way. Command keywords will be accepted on ANY LISTSERV command and they

  will always be processed the same  way; however, there will be commands

  for which some or all of  the accepted control keywords are irrelevant.

  Only  relevant keywords  are listed  in the  commands description  (see

  above).

    All command keywords  can be specified anywhere  in the command-text,

  AFTER the command name itself. They can  appear at the end, in the mid-

  dle of the arguments of before the command arguments. A command keyword

  is an expression of the form: " keywordname=keywordvalue " (the double-

  quotes are  not part of the  keyword expression). The blank  before the

  keyword name  is mandatory, while  there must  be NO blank  between the

  keyword  name and  the equal  sign.  There can  be one  or more  blanks

  between the equal sign and the keyword value. The reason for these res-

  trictions is to avoid "finding keywords where none was intended".

  Valid examples:

   "REV F=Netdata CHAT-L (Countries"

   "REV CHAT-L F= Netdata (Countries"

   "REV CHAT-L (Countries   F=     Netdata"

  Examples of improperly specified keywords:

   "F=Netdata REV CHAT-L"    (keyword must appear after command name)

   "REV CHAT-L F = Netdata"  (blank between "F" and the equal sign)

   "REV CHAT-LF=Netdata"     (missing blank before keyword name)

*********************************************

* Description of available command keywords *

*********************************************

    Unrecognized keywords will be left unhampered in the command line, ie

  you can use equal signs in command arguments without problem. Since key

  words are processed  before the command itself  is analyzed, specifying

  an improper value for a keyword will cause the command to be terminated

  immediately without any further checking.

F=  Netdata | Disk | Card | Punch | *

  This keyword  controls the "format"  in which files will  (possibly) be

  sent to you.  The default value, ie  the value taken if  the keyword is

  omitted, is "*", which instructs LISTSERV  to use the default file for-

  mat defined by your system administrator in the BITEARN NODES database.

  This format  will (hopefully)  be the most  efficient format  that your

  operating system is able to handle.  However, if this default format is

  incorrect or if for some other reason  you want files to be sent to you

  in  another format,  you can  specify a  "F=" keyword  to override  the

  default specification.  Only the  first letter of  the format  needs be

  given. "Punch"  format is automatically changed  to "Listserv-Punch" if

  the file being sent to you is larger than a card image (80 characters).

PW= password

  This keyword provides a means whereby  a "password" can be specified on

  a LISTSERV command.  The password to be given will  be different depen-

  ding on  the category  of command  (list-maintenance, server-operation,

  server-maintenance) and will be  processed accordingly. Generally spea-

  king, the  command will be  rejected or  only partially honored  if the

  password is  incorrect. General  user commands  will never  require any

  password, and thus  the "PW=" keyword is irrelevant  for general users.

  Preface

  This manual is an introduction to the LISTSERV database functions.  It

  is  intended  to be a reference document for general users with little

  or no knowledge of database systems.  It does not  contain  any  tech-

  nical  information  that general users do not need to worry about.  In

  particular, the interactive database access protocols  are  not  docu-

  mented  in  this  manual;  they can be found in the "Revised LISTSERV:

  Application Programmer's Guide" , document number A01-004.

  This document will discuss the syntax and operational  characteristics

  of  the  LISTSERV  database subsystem.   It is assumed that the reader

  either

  o   Has obtained a copy of the interactive database access user inter-

      face, LDBASE, and is familiar enough with his operating system  to

      know how to install and invoke it.

  o   Is  familiar  enough  with  the the "LISTSERV Command Job Language

      Interpreter" to build up a simple job and send it to LISTSERV  for

      execution.  A sample job "skeleton" is described later on.

  Conventions

  -----------

  The  following  typographical conventions have been made in this docu-

  ment to improve its readability:

| o   Recent changes in the publication are indicated by a vertical  bar

|     in the left margin.

! o   Intermediate  changes  between two releases of the document ("Pre-

!     releases") are flagged with  an  exclamation  point  in  the  left

!     margin.    Features described in this fashion should be considered

!     as not documented and not officially supported until the  exclama-

!     tion point is removed.

> o   Temporary   restrictions  or  circumventions  are  marked  with  a

>     "greater than" sign in the left margin. This sign may also be used

  * Introduction *

  ****************

  The  LISTSERV  database functions have been developed in an attempt to

  make it possible for users to extract relevant information  from  list

  archives  without  having to retrieve a large "notebook" file and scan

  it locally.  Users will send commands to LISTSERV,  requesting  it  to

  perform  search  operations  locally and to send out only the selected

  items from the list archives.  The following goals have been  kept  in

  mind all throughout the development of the new facilities:

  o   The  functionalities  provided must be general enough to allow for

      databases other than list archives (i.e. electronic  mail)  to  be

      used if needed.

  o   Users with little or not database experience must be able to learn

      how to use the LISTSERV database in a few minutes.

  o   The  syntax  should  be as close to "natural english" as possible,

      and should be easy to remember.

  o   The commands must be powerful enough to be  functional,  but  they

      should not be overly complex so as not to discourage beginners.

  o   Interactive  access to the database through the network is primor-

      dial.  Once the search has been carried out, the user should  have

      the option to retrieve the results in a file rather than as inter-

      active output.

  Because  their  main application is the scanning of list archives, the

  LISTSERV database functions are document-oriented and therefore  quite

  different from "usual" commercial database systems.

  Accessing the database

  ----------------------

  The  database can be accessed either interactively or in "batch" mode.

  In the former case, you must  obtain  the  LDBASE  user  interface  by

  sending the following commands to your nearest LISTSERV:

  o   For VM/SP CMS systems:

      -   TELL LISTSERV AT nodeid GET LDBASE EXEC

      -   TELL LISTSERV AT nodeid GET LSVIUCV MODULE

      The command to start the user interface is simply LDBASE to access

      your "home" server, or LDBASE nodeid to access the LISTSERV server

      at nodeid.

  o   For VAX/VMS systems:

      -   SEND LISTSERV@nodeid GET LDBASE COM

      The  command  to  start  the user interface is @LDBASE.  This will

      install the required files in  your  directory  and  display  more

      detailed instructions about the program.

  o   Other systems may not presently access the database in interactive

      mode.

  Interactive access

  The exec is self-documented, and will ask you the userid and nodeid of

  the  server you wish to access, after which it will try to establish a

  network connection to its database.  This may fail if a line  is  down

  or  if  interactive database access has been disabled at the installa-

  tion you are trying to reach.  In that case, you would  be  forced  to

  send  requests  in "batch" mode.   In interactive mode, you must enter

  your commands directly (without any embedded CJLI  orders)  when,  and

  only  when,  you  are  prompted  to do so.   Entering a command out of

  sequence is interpreted as a request to cancel the session  and  leave

  the  user  interface.    You  should do so only if you have reasons to

  think that the network connection has been broken, or if you  have  to

  leave your terminal, etc.

  Batch access

  When accessing the database in "batch" mode, you must construct a CJLI

  job  which  you  must  then  submit  to  the  appropriate  server  for

  execution.  This means that you must know in advance what you want  to

  do  exactly.    If  you  are  not  familiar with CJLI, you can use the

  following "job skeleton" to build up your database search job:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | //      JOB  Echo=No                                               |

  | //Rules DD   *                                                     |

  | command 1                                                          |

  | command 2                                                          |

  | ...                                                                |

  | /*                                                                 |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 1.  Sample database job skeleton                            |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  You will then receive a "DATABASE OUTPUT" file containing the  results

  of your search.  This file might look like this:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | > Select * in TEST-L                                               |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  If  you realize that the items you were interested in are number 1 and

  3, you will have to submit a new job to ask for a copy  of  them,  and

  LISTSERV will have had to do part of the work twice.  This is the main

  advantage of interactive access over batch.

  Organization of the manual

  --------------------------

  The  next  chapter of this manual will introduce the concepts required

  to understand the LISTSERV database  system.    The  various  database

  commands  will  then  be  explained, starting with the simplest syntax

  forms.  For each command, there will be a  short  tutorial  describing

  the  most  important  forms  of  the  syntax,  followed by a detailed,

  exacting description of the command.  The last chapter  will  describe

  the  more advanced functions like changing the CPU limit, output lines

  limit, etc.

  ************

  * Concepts *

  ************

  This chapter introduces the various concepts  required  to  understand

  the LISTSERV database system.

  What is a database?

  -------------------

  A  database is a collection of items of homogeneous type, which can be

  stored in computerized form.  For example, a telephone directory,  the

  archives  of  a  distribution  list,  a  list  of employees can all be

  considered to be databases.  Database items will often be referred  to

  as documents since they will, in most cases, be just that.

  The  actual  "physical"  structure  of  the  database is usually quite

  complex, but it is completely transparent to  the  end-user  who  sees

  only a series of documents.

  Finally, to each database is associated a database type.  Databases of

  the  same  type  can  be  expected to contain roughly the same type of

  documents.  For example, all list archives have  a  database  type  of

  "Notebook".  The user does not have to specifically know the type of a

  database in order to access it.  However, the keywords (see definition

  below) that can be searched will normally depend on the database type.

  For  example,  you can search a list-archives database for a "Subject"

  of "Comments on the minutes of the last meeting", but not for a "Diam-

  eter" of "1/10th" (which might be valid for  a  database  of  electric

  wires).

  What are the attributes of a document?

  --------------------------------------

  Attributes common to all database types

  Each  document  is  assigned  a  document  number, which is unique all

  throughout the database and can therefore be used to identify it.

+

+ The structure of the LISTSERV database system does not guarantee  that

+ document  numbers  will not change from one session to the other.  If,

+ for example, a list archive file is  edited  to  add  or  remove  some

+ entries,  other documents might be renumbered and assigned a different

+ document number.

+

  In addition, to each document is associated a date/time  field,  whose

  exact  meaning  will  depend  on  the  type of the database.   It will

  usually be either the document creation date or the date of  the  last

  change made to it.

  Other attributes

  Document keywords

  Depending on the type of database, one or more keyword might have been

  defined  for  the  documents.   Each of these keywords is a name/value

  pair, such as "REFCODE 2378237"  or  "SENDER  WIZARD@TOWER.FaerieNet".

  Abbreviations  or  synonyms  might  have  been defined for the keyword

  name.  For example, you might be able to specify "Author"  instead  of

  "Sender" when performing a search operation.

  Document portions

  In any case, these "keywords" contain information which is external to

  the  document,  in  much  the  same  way  as a label sticked on a book

  contains information (e.g. the price of  the  book)  which  cannot  be

  found inside the book itself.

  A  document  portions,  on  the  contrary,  is a name that refers to a

  subset of the contents of the documents, like "Foreword" or "Epilogue"

  in our book example above.   There is  a  built-in  document  portion,

  "ALL"  ,  which is common to all the database types and corresponds to

  the complete document.

  What are the attributes of NOTEBOOK databases?

  ----------------------------------------------

  The following "keywords" are  available  for  list-archives  databases

  (shortest abbreviation is Capitalized):

  o   Subject corresponds to the contents of the "Subject:" field of the

      mail header (case is preserved).

  o   SEnder  or  From  identify the RFC822 address of the originator of

      the mailfile (case is preserved).  You should note that "FROM" may

      be a reserved database keyword, depending on the context in  which

      it  appears.  You should therefore avoid to refer to the mail-ori-

      ginator keyword as "FROM", unless you use an abbreviated form.

  The following "document portions" have been defined for  list-archives

  databases (shortest abbreviation is Capitalized):

  o   Header and HDR both identify the RFC822 header of the mailfile.

  o   Body  and  Text  correspond  to the contents of the mailfile, i.e.

      anything which appears after the header.

  o   And of course, ALL corresponds to the  complete  mailfile,  header

      and body.

  What is a hit?

  --------------

  Before  you  are  able to display anything, you will have to perform a

  search on the database (if you have nothing to search  in  particular,

  there  is  a  special form of the search command which lets you select

  all the items from the database).  You will specify a series of search

  rules, which will be applied to all  the  documents  in  the  selected

  database.    Each document that matches these search rules is called a

  hit and is considered to have been selected  for  further  processing.

  Most  database  commands will, by default, be applied to all the docu-

  ments that have been "hit" in the  last  search  you  have  performed.

  This  means  that if your previous search did not yield any "hit", you

  will not be able  to  do  anything  until  you  issue  another  search

  command.

  How can I get a list of existing databases?

  -------------------------------------------

  Although  there is no global list of all the available databases, each

  LISTSERV can send you a list of all the databases that it keeps.    If

  you  are not allowed to access a given database, it will (usually) not

  be listed so that you do not waste your time trying to search it.   To

  get  this  list,  simply  send  a DATABASE LIST command to the desired

  server.

  **********************

  * The SEARCH command *

  **********************

  This chapter will introduce you to the SEARCH command.   This  minimum

  abbreviation  of  this  command  is  just "S", and there also exists a

  synonym of SELECT with a minimum abbreviation of "SEL".

  The syntax of this command is a bit complex, and  will  be  introduced

  step by step.

  Basic search functions

  ----------------------

  The  two  most important things you have to indicate when you search a

  database are:

  1.  The name of the database you want to search.

  2.  What you want to search the individual documents for.

  The name of the database to be searched is specified after  the  words

  or  phrases  to  be  sought  and  is prefixed with an IN keyword.  For

  example, we might do this:

                        Search Rosemary in MOVIES

  This would select all the entries from  database  "MOVIES"  containing

  the string "ROSEMARY".

  Now  if  you just wanted to see the list of all the movies you can see

  this week, you could have used  an  asterisk  as  search  argument  to

  select all the entries in the database:

                            Search * in MOVIES

  Note  that  the  database name doesn't have to be uppercased.  This is

  merely done to make the examples look better.

  If you want to "narrow" your previous search, i.e. perform  additional

  tests  on  the  documents that have been previously selected, you must

  omit the IN keyword.  In that case, the search will be applied to  the

  previous "hits" and will create a new "hit list".

  But  in  most  cases, we will want to search for something longer than

  one word, for example part of a "key" sentence.

             Search Hardware problem with a 4381 in IBMFORUM

  Another problem is that we  might  not  remember  the  exact  original

  sentence.

  This is not very important, since LISTSERV will search each word indi-

  vidually:    in  the above example, any entry that contained the words

  "hardware", "problem", "with", "a" and "4381" would have  matched  the

  search, even if the words appeared in a different order.

  But  what  if  the  original  document had "4381-13" in it, instead of

  "4381"?

  This is again no problem, as LISTSERV does not require the word to  be

  surrounded  by  blanks  to  find  a match.   Case is also ignored when

  performing the search operation.  That is, "problem" would have  found

  a  match  on  "problems"...    and  "with" would have found a match on

  "without" or "withstand"!  This may sound like inconsistent behaviour,

  but you should keep in mind that it  is  always  possible  to  "narrow

  down"  a search operation.  However, once a document has been excluded

  from the list of "hits", it is very difficult to bring it back.

  Now what if I want to search for an exact string?  For example,  I  am

  interested  in  the  string  "in C".   It is very likely that just any

  document in the database will contain both a "in" and  the  letter  C.

  But  what  I  am  interested  in is things which have been written, or

  programmed, or implemented, "in C".

  In that case, it is possible to force LISTSERV to group words together

  by quoting them, as in:

                         Search 'in C' in UTILITY

  This method can also be used to insert extra blanks between or  before

  words:    leading  and  trailing  blanks are normally removed automat-

  ically, but they are preserved inside quoted  strings.    Please  note

  that  quotes  must be doubled when specified inside quoted strings, as

  in:

                   Search 'Rosemary''s baby' in MOVIES

  The search for 'in C' resulted in over fifty hits, because a match was

  erroneously found against "in clear", "in core", etc.   However, I  do

  not  want  to  search for 'in C ' because there might be hits with "in

  C." or "in C," in the database and I don't want to miss them.

  If the search respected the capital C, it would  no  longer  find  all

  those  irrelevant  hits.    To  do  this, you must enclose your search

  string in double-quotes instead of single quotes, for example:

                         Search "in C" in UTILITY

  Note that single quotes should not  be  doubled  inside  double-quoted

  strings, and vice-versa.  Only quotes of the same type than the string

  should be doubled.

  It  is important to understand the difference between the two types of

  quoting.  If you request a search for 'TEXT', you will find a match on

  "TEXT", "Text", "text" or even "teXt".  This is the same behaviour  as

  unquoted  text.   However, if you request a search for "TEXT", it will

  only find a match on "TEXT", not on "text" nor "Text".

+

+ Quoting is also the only way to search for  a  reserved  keyword  like

+ "IN":  if you tried "Search in in UTILITY", LISTSERV would report that

+ database  "IN"  does  not exist and would reject the command.  This is

+ because the keyword IN indicates the end of your search arguments.  If

+ you quote it, however, it will not be recognized and will be  searched

+ as  you  wanted  it  done.    Similarly,  if you want to search for an

+ asterisk, you will have to quote it since "Search  *"  indicates  that

+ all entries should be selected.

+

  Now the problem is that there may be sentences starting with a capital

  I,  e.g.  "In  C, it would be coded this way:".  How can I catch these

  sentences?

  Actually, you have been using "complex search  expressions"  from  the

  beginning without even being aware of it.  When you specified a search

  on  "Hardware  problem with a 4381", you had in fact been asking LIST-

  SERV for:  "Hardware AND problem AND with AND a AND 4381".  The  "AND"

  is implicit, but it may be overriden.  You may even use parenthesis if

  needed:

             Search ("in C" or "In C") and program in UTILITY

  The "AND" can still be implied, as in:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | Search wooden chair (blue or green) in CHAIRS                      |

  | Search (wooden chair) or (plastic chair) in CHAIRS                 |

  | Search plastic chair (blue or green but not streaked) in CHAIRS    |

  |                                                                    |

  | The following commands are strictly equivalent:                    |

  |  Search (wooden chair) or (plastic chair not blue) in CHAIRS       |

  |  Search chair (wooden or (plastic not blue)) in CHAIRS             |

  |  Search chair (wooden or (plastic but not blue)) in CHAIRS         |

  |  Search chair AND (wooden OR (plastic AND NOT blue)) in CHAIRS     |

  |                                                                    |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Date specifications

  -------------------

  Since each document has been  assigned  a  "date/time"  field,  it  is

  possible to select documents based on this date field.  This is accom-

  plished  by appending "date search rules" to the search expression, as

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  The default values for omitted arguments are always chosen  so  as  to

  exclude as little entries as possible.  For example, "July" would mean

  "1  July 00:00:00" in a SINCE specification, and "31 July 23:59:59" in

  an UNTIL clause.  The only exception is the year field,  which  always

  defaults to the current year.

  Keyword search specifications

  -----------------------------

  The  last  thing  you  may wish to search is the "keywords" list.  For

  example, you might want to select those plastic chairs which cost less

  than 50 dollars.  It is assumed that the price will vary often  (maybe

  almost daily), and that it is therefore kept externally from the docu-

  ment  describing  the  chair.   Thus, you would have a "Price" keyword

  which you could search in the following way:

             Search plastic chair in CHAIRS where price < 50

  You may of course use complex expressions (with  parenthesis)  in  the

  WHERE  clause.   There are new comparison operators available for this

  clause, like IS, CONTAINS, all the usual arithmetical comparison oper-

  ators, and some more.    However,  the  AND  operation  is  no  longer

  implied, but it can still be specified explicitly of course:

       Search plastic chair in CHAIR where price < 50 and avail > 4

  The  problem  now is that, as the search commands become more and more

  complex, they will no longer fit in a single  line.    To  solve  this

  problem,  it  has  been  decided that any database command ending in a

  dash indicates that more is to follow on the next line.  This  process

  can be repeated several times if desired.  This applies to both inter-

  active and batch commands.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | Search chair (wooden or (blue or green but not streaked)) -        |

  |        in CHAIRS -                                                 |

  |        where price < 50 & avail > 4                                |

  |                                                                    |

  | Search chair (wooden or (blue or green but not streaked)) -        |

  | in CHAIRS where price < 50 & avail > 4                             |

  |                                                                    |

  | Search chair (wooden or ( -                                        |

  | ) -                                                                |

  | in CHAIRS where price < 50 & avail > 4                             |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 6.  Sample  SEARCH  commands  with continuation lines:  All |

  |            these commands are  strictly  identical,  although  the |

  |            first one is obviously more legible.                    |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  The  only  "trick"  about  this continuation line business is that you

  should always keep quoted strings on a single line.   The  process  of

  identifying  continuation  lines and concatenating them afterwards may

  cause unwanted blanks to be inserted in the command line, which is  no

  problem  outside  a  quoted string since blanks are ignored, but might

  cause erroneous results in a quoted string.

  If you want to search for several possible values in a given  keyword,

  you do not have to repeat the keyword name and operator:

  |                                                                    |

  | > Search * in BBOARD where -                                       |

  | > (subject contains Personal and subject contains computer)        |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 7.  Sample use of "factorization"                           |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  However,  it  should  be  noted that this "factorization" is performed

  according to the rules of logic, which may not necessarily match those

  of english grammar.  This removes any possible  ambiguity  as  to  the

  meaning of these clauses.  Let's consider the following example:

                  machine does not contain (IBM and DEC)

  This clause will get translated into:

      machine does not contain IBM and machine does not contain DEC

  In  english  you  would probably say "machine contains neither IBM nor

  DEC" .  This is how LISTSERV will understand it.  However, if you read

  the clause aloud, you will probably not pronounce the parenthesis  and

  will  end  up  saying "machine does not contain IBM and DEC", in other

  words, "machine does not contain both  IBM  and  DEC"  ,  which  is  a

  totally  different  thing  (and  would  most  probably be true all the

  time).  The "english meaning" could be  obtained  with  the  following

  clause:

                   not (machine contains (IBM and DEC))

  In  the  former  case,  the  negative  "does  not contain" operator is

  inserted inside the parenthesis.  In the latter,  only  "contains"  is

  moved, and the negation remains outside.

  Phonetic search

  ---------------

  There may be cases where you are looking for  a  certain  value  of  a

  keyword,  the  exact  spelling of which you cannot remember.  In these

  cases, it may be useful to try a phonetic search.   A phonetic  search

  will yield a match for anything that "sounds like" your search string,

  as  dictated by a predefined algorithm which is of course not perfect.

  It may give a hit for something which does  not  actually  sound  like

  your  search  string,  or, more rarely, omit a keyword which did sound

  like what you entered.  The main reasons for this are that  the  algo-

  rithm  must  be  fast  to execute on the machine and therefore not too

  sophisticated, and that the way a given word is pronounced depends  on

  the  idiom in which the word was written.  For example, the phonetical

  transcription of the  name  "Landau"  will  be  different  in  French,

  English, German and Russian.  Thus, it is impossible to decide whether

  a  word  sounds  like  another  if the language in which the words are

  pronounced is not known (and of  course  LISTSERV  does  not  have,  a

  priori, any way to know it).

  Phonetic searches are performed through the use of the SOUNDS LIKE and

  DOES  NOT  SOUND  LIKE  operators,  which are syntactically similar to

  CONTAINS and DOES NOT CONTAIN.  That is, you could do something like:

            Select * in PHONEBOOK where NAME sounds like WOLF

  There is a little trick with the SOUNDS LIKE operator that you  should

  be  aware of.   If your search string (WOLF in our above example) is a

  single word, it will be compared individually to all the words in  the

  reference  string  (i.e.  the  data  from  the  database), and will be

  considered a hit if it "sounds like" any of the words in the reference

  string.   Thus, the search word  "Ekohl"  sounds  like  the  reference

  string  "Ecole  Normale Superieure" because it matches the first word.

  If the search string contains more  than  one  word,  the  search  and

  reference strings will be compared phonetically as a whole (and "Ekohl

  Dzentrahll"  will  therefore  not  match  "Ecole Normale Superieure").

  Note that any search string containing more than a single word must be

  quoted, as explained in the previous sections of this chapter.

+ reasonably accurate matches at a very low CPU cost.  Although it gives

+ best results with the English language, for which  it  was  originally

+ designed, it is not too strongly tied to it and can still be used with

+ other  languages.    It is of course absolutely impossible to write an

+ program that would work for all the languages in the  world,  or  even

+ for  the most widley used ones, since their interpretation of the most

+ common combinations of letters are completely incompatible.

  Exact syntax description

  This section describes the exact syntax of  the  "SEARCH"  command  in

  technical  terms.    You  can  skip  it  if  you are not interested in

  learning about the details of this command.

  +--------+-----------------------------------------------------------+

  The optional "date-rules", "keyword-rules" and "db-list" arguments may

  appear in any order.

  Database list specification

  For each SEARCH command, you may specify a list  of  databases  to  be

  searched.  The default is to narrow the search, i.e. to use the result

  of the previous search as input for the new search.  This is of course

  possible only if the previous search yielded one or more "hits".

  The syntax of the "db-list" specification is the following:

  db-list:  IN <(> dbspec1 <dbspec2 <...>> <)>

  The parenthesis are optional.  If they are omitted, database names may

  not be reserved keywords like SINCE or WHERE.

  Finally, the syntax of "dbspec" is the following:

  db-spec:  db-name<.<(>range1<,><range2<,><...>><)>>

  where  "db-name"  is  the  name  of  the  database to be searched, and

  "ranges" are optional parameters restricting the search to a  sub-list

  of  entries  in  this  database.   Each "range" may be either a single

  entry number like 1274, or a range of numbers like 12-17, 827- or -40.

  They may be either enclosed in parenthesis and separated by blanks, or

  separated by commas, in which case the parenthesis are optional.

  Date rules specification

  You may optionally restrict the search to only those entries that  lay

  within  a  given interval of time.  This is accomplished by specifying

  one of the following date rules:

    SINCE date-spec  <time-spec>

    FROM  date-spec1 <time-spec1> TO date-spec2 <time-spec2>

    UNTIL date-spec  <time-spec>

  The format of a "date-spec" is quite complex because of the number  of

  different ways date/time specifications are usually expressed:

    TODAY

    yy

    dd mm

    <dd><->monthname<-><yy>

    mm/yy

    mm-yy

    yy/mm/dd

    yy-mm-dd

  Month  names  can  be abbreviated to any length.  If there is an ambi-

  guity, the first month  in  chronological  order  is  retained.    For

  example,  "J"  would  mean  "January",  "JU" would be "June" and "JUL"

  would unambiguously select "July".

  The format of a "time-spec" is simply <hh:mm<:ss>>.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  NOTE: Case is irrelevant in date specifications.  The keywords (SINCE,

  UNTIL, etc) have been capitalized only for better legibility, and  can

  be entered in lower case if desired.

  Keyword rules specification

  You  may  request  the  actual  document search to take place only for

  those entries which match a set of "keyword comparison"  rules.    The

  syntax is the following:

    WHERE kwd-expression

    WITH

  "kwd-expression" is, generally speaking, an mathematical expression of

  keyword/value   comparisons,  possibly  bound  by  logical  operators.

  Comparison operators have a higher precedence than logical  operators,

  that  is,  "A>10 AND B=20" is interpreted as "(A>10) AND (B=20)".  The

  available comparison operators are listed below.   All  the  operators

  appearing on a given line are synonyms.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | = IS                                                               |

  | ^= <> IS NOT                                                       |

  | >                                                                  |

  | <                                                                  |

  | >=                                                                 |

  | <=                                                                 |

  | CONTAINS                                                           |

  | DOES NOT CONTAIN                                                   |

  | SOUNDS LIKE                                                        |

  | DOES NOT SOUND LIKE                                                |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 13.  Comparison operators for WHERE clauses                 |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  All  these  operators  are self-explanatory, except the last two which

  allow you to search the keyword value for a given "substring".    That

  is,  "Sender contains jeff" would be true if the value of the "Sender"

  keyword was "Jeff Smith" or "Jeffrey Donaldson".  The case is  ignored

  during the comparison unless the search operand is double-quoted.

  If  no  valid  comparison operator is specified between two arguments,

  "IS" (identity) is assumed.

  The available logical operators are:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | ^ NOT                                                              |

  | & AND BUT                                                          |

  | | / OR                                                             |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 14.  Logical (boolean) operators                            |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Finally, keywords and operators can  be  "factorized"  when  the  same

  comparison  is to be applied to a given keyword and a series of compa-

  rands.  For example, you might enter:

      Search * where sender contains ('CS Dept' and (Jack or Phil))

  This is internally expanded to:

    SEARCH * WHERE sender CONTAINS 'CS Dept' AND -

    (sender CONTAINS Jack OR sender CONTAINS Phil)

  Please note that the expression must  always  be  enclosed  in  paren-

  thesis, even if it is a simple one:

              Search * where sender contains (Joe or Morris)

  This  stems  from  the  fact  that  comparison operators have a higher

  priority than logical (boolean) ones.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | WHERE Sender is "Arthur Dent" -                                    |

  | and Subject does not contain tea                                   |

  |                                                                    |

  | WITH (QTY > 100 | PRICE > 1000) & MAT = COPPER                     |

  | Where Sender is (Atiaran@Land or Elena@Land) -                     |

  | and Subject contains ('Be true' but not Ur-Lord)                   |

  |                                                                    |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Search rules specification

  Finally, you must specify what is to be searched inside the  document.

  If  you do not want anything to be sought at all (e.g. if you are only

  selecting known items from the database), you can specify an  asterisk

  as  a  placeholder  to waive the search.  Otherwise you must specify a

  mathematical expression where arguments are search  strings,  possibly

  bound  by  logical  operators (see Figure 14for a comprehensive list).

  The default operator is AND, so that  a  search  for  "INTERPRET  STEM

  PROBLEM"  will  select  all  entries  where  "INTERPRET",  "STEM"  and

  "PROBLEM" can be found (not necessarily in the same line).

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | Search *                                                           |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Reserved words and quoting

  When to quote strings

  Keyword names and search arguments need not be quoted, unless:

  o   They are formed of more than one word (search arguments only).

  o   They contain leading or trailing blanks (search arguments only).

  o   Their name matches one of the "reserved keywords" of the  LISTSERV

      database system, and appears in a context where it can be mistaken

      for  such.    The  "reserved keywords" are:   FROM, IN, SINCE, TO,

      UNTIL, WHERE, WITH.

  o   They contain a parenthesis, logical operator or  comparison  oper-

      ator  symbol.    More  generally, you should quote any string that

      contains one of the following characters:

                              ( ) < > = | & ^ /

  Any non-quoted word will be stripped of leading  and  trailing  blanks

  and converted to uppercase before the search.

  Single-quoted strings

  Strings  quoted  in  single-quotes (') are converted to upper case and

  cause case to be ignored during the search.  That is, they  behave  in

  the same manner as un-quoted strings as far as the search algorithm is

  concerned.    As  a  rule of thumb, any string can be single-quoted if

  desired, even if it does not have to.

  Single quotes must be doubled inside single-quoted strings, but double

  quotes should not:

           Search '"T''amo, ripetilo, si caro accento' in OPERA

  Double-quoted strings

  Strings quoted in double-quotes (") are not converted to  upper  case.

  They  result  in  a case-sensitive search, which means that you should

  never double-quote a string unless  you  want  case  to  be  respected

  during the search.

  Double quotes must be doubled inside double-quoted strings, but single

  quotes should not:

           Search """T'amo, ripetilo, si caro accento" in OPERA

  *********************

  * The INDEX command *

  *********************

  If  you  have  understood everything in the previous chapter, you will

  have no problem with this one, nor with the  following.    The  SEARCH

  command  is  by far the most complex database command you will have to

  use, and you will find INDEX and  PRINT  to  be  quite  simplistic  as

  compared to it.

  Introduction

  ------------

  The INDEX command can be used to display a list of all the "hits" that

  your  last  search resulted in.  For each such "hit", a single line of

  information will be displayed.  This information will  depend  on  the

  type  of  the database you were searching of course, but it will typi-

  cally contain the following columns:

  o   Item number and possibly name of the database, although the latter

      is often suppressed to make room for more useful information.

  o   Date and time the item was created or  last  modified  (the  exact

      meaning depends on the database type).

  o   Number  of records or, more generally speaking, some indication on

      the size of the document.

  o   Any other information relevant to the type  of  database  you  are

      searching.

  To each database type is associated a unique, predefined index format.

+

+ You  will  learn  later  how  to  define your own "formats" to produce

+ customized index displays.  This knowledge is not necessary to perform

+ normal searches on the database.

+

  Syntax

  ------

  The syntax of the INDEX command  is  simply  INDEX  with  no  argument

  (minimum  abbreviation  is "I").   You will learn later that this is a

  lie, and that you can specify a flurry of horrendous parameters on the

  INDEX command, but for now you are better off without this  knowledge.

  So, let's the syntax be simply INDEX for now.

  Examples

  --------

  Since the index format is the same for all databases of the same type,

  we  will  simply  give  an  example  of  "Notebook" index, and another

  example for a fancy database type of "Opera" which we will use  exten-

  sively in the following chapters.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  We  will  assume that the "Opera" database type is designed to process

  opera libretti,  and  defines  the  following  keywords  and  document

  portions:

  AUTHOR    The name of the composer (keyword).

  FROM      The  name  of  the  opera  from  which the tune is extracted

            (keyword).

  SINGERS   The name of the singers in "my own official  preferred  best

            record" (keyword).

  NAME      The "name" generally given to the tune (keyword).

  TUNE      A  few lines out of the text, which are supposed to help the

            reader remember what it is exactly (portion).

  CHARACTERS The name of the character(s) singing the tune (portion).

  We could then have an index looking like this:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | > Select felice IN OPERA.250- where Singer is Bergonzi             |

  | --> Database OPERA, 2 hits.                                        |

  *********************

  * The PRINT command *

  *********************

  Tutorial

  --------

  The PRINT command (minimum abbreviation "P") can be  used  to  display

  the  contents of documents which have been previously selected.  Where

  INDEX displayed only one line of  information,  PRINT  will  typically

  display  one  or  more pages.   You should therefore be careful to not

  PRINT documents that you are not interested in, as this may generate a

  lot of unwanted output.

  Furthermore, if you are accessing the  database  in  interactive  mode

  from  a  remote node, you will not be allowed to generate more than 30

  lines of interactive output per command.  If you attempt to print  too

  much  information  with  a single command, your command will be termi-

  nated and only 30 lines will be shown.  You may request larger  output

  by  means  of  the SENDBACK command, which will be explained later on.

  In any case, you should understand that interactive database access is

  expensive in network and computer resources,  and  that  it  has  been

  allowed  only to let you decide which are the documents you are inter-

  ested in.  Once you know exactly what you need, you can request a copy

  to be sent to you as a file and terminate the interactive session.

  The PRINT command will, by default, apply  to  any  and  all  selected

  documents.    That is, it is assumed that everything you have selected

  is of interest to you.  It is also assumed that, by default, you  want

  the  entire contents of the selected documents printed out (which will

  usually be the case anyway).

  You can, however,  request  only  specific  document  portions  to  be

  printed.  This is done by listing the name of the "portions" after the

  PRINT command, as in:

                          Print Characters Tune

  A  separator  will be printed between each document portion (see exam-

  ples below).

  You can also request to print only specific documents among  the  ones

  that  have  been  selected.    To do this, simply specify the document

  numbers after the PRINT keyword.  If you also wish to specify  portion

  names,   these  must  appear  before  the  document  numbers  and  may

  optionally be followed by an OF keyword:

                        Print Tune OF 127 232 841

  For your convenience, it has also been  made  possible  to  PRINT  the

  contents  of  keywords  associated  with the selected documents.  This

  will cause each keyword value to be displayed as if it were a one-line

  document portion.  The output therefore takes three  lines  per  entry

  (separator,  keyword  value and one blank line), and the INDEX command

  should obviously be preferred.  However, there may be cases where  you

  want  to  display  the  value  of a particular keyword in a particular

  entry, which was not listed in the index because there is usually  not

  enough room to display all keywords in a single 80-characters line:

                           Print Author OF 254

+

+ You  could  also  get  this  information through the use of the "LIST"

+ command, which will be explained later  on.    However,  this  command

+ would  produce  an  output  similar  to  the  index, with one line per

+ selected entry.   This would most likely  be  longer  than  the  PRINT

+ output if you were interested in a few entries only.

+

  Finally,  you  can  indicate  several print specifications on a single

  PRINT command by separating them with commas:

                 Print Author of 254, Tune of 220 226-230

  Examples

  --------

  In the examples that will follow, we will assume  that  the  following

  search has been executed prior to issuing the PRINT command:

  The  name  of the singer of "Veglia o donna" has been truncated in the

  INDEX output, and you would like to see it in full,  as  well  as  the

  name  of  the character singing the tune.  You also don't remember who

  is the author of "Carmen", and you would like it  printed.    Finally,

  you would like to print the whole of tune number 127.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Syntax

  ------

  This section will describe the exact syntax of the PRINT command.  You

  may skip it if you are not interested in details.

  The syntax of the PRINT command is:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | Print   <print-spec1><,print-spec2<,...>>                          |

  |                                                                    |

  | Each "print-spec"                                                  |

  |  has the following form:                                           |

  |   <part1 <part2 <...>>> <OF> <range1 <range2 <...>>>               |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 22.  Syntax of the PRINT command                            |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Each  "part"  must  be a valid "document portion" or "keyword" for the

  database against which the PRINT command is being issued.    "ALL"  is

  the default and is always valid, regardless of the database type.  You

  may  optionally  specify "ranges" (xxxx, xxxx-yyyy, xxxx- or -yyyy) to

  further restrict the list of database items to be displayed.  However,

  this does not allow you to display a document that has not been previ-

  ously selected by means of a SEARCH command.

  Finally, you may place more than one set of  print  specifications  on

  the command line, provided you separate them with commas.

  ************************

  * The SENDBACK command *

  ************************

  The SENDBACK command allows you to request large database output to be

  sent back to you as a file.  It is valid only when accessing the data-

  base  in  interactive  mode.    In  batch  mode, output will always be

  returned as a file.

  The syntax of the SENDBACK command is very simple:  you just  put  the

  word  SENDBACK  before the command whose output you want returned in a

  file:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | > SENDBACK Print all                                               |

  | File "DATABASE OUTPUT" has been sent to you in Netdata format.     |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 23.  Sample SENDBACK command                                |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  After you have ordered the desired  output,  you  can  terminate  your

  interactive  session  and  wait  for  the file to arrive.   You can of

  course enter additional commands in interactive mode if you so desire.

  **********************

  * The FORMAT command *

  **********************

  The next  two  chapters  will  deal  with  the  definition  of  "index

  formats",  which  allow you to view indexes different from the default

  ones.  You may wish to skip them if you are not interested in details.

  You should now know enough about the database commands to be  able  to

  perform most kind of searches.

  Introduction

  ------------

  The  FORMAT  command  lets you define a named index format.  An "index

  format" is a series of specifications which define one or more columns

  of output.  For each column, you must specify the name of the  keyword

  which  is to be listed, along with some information like the number of

  characters (width) of the column, whether it must  be  left-justified,

  right-justified  or  centered,  and optionally a title for the column.

  The default title is the (upper case) name of the  keyword  associated

  with the column.

  Please note that the FORMAT command itself does not cause any informa-

  tion to be displayed.  This is done by the LIST command, which will be

  explained in the next chapter.

  Syntax

  ------

  The exact syntax of the FORMAT command (minimum abbreviation "F") is:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | Format fmtname<:> fmtspec1 <fmtspec2<...>>                         |

  |                                                                    |

  | Each  "fmtspec"  defines  a  column in the output chart, using the |

  | following syntax:                                                  |

  |                                                                    |

  | fieldname<(<start><,end>)><.  cols<just>> <"heading"<hd-just>>     |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 24.  Syntax of the FORMAT command                           |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  This will create a column in the table, under the  specified  heading,

  where  a  substring  (start,end)  of the specified keyword (fieldname)

  will be displayed.  The default values for start and  end  are  1  and

  255,  respectively.  The width of the column is controlled by the cols

  specification, which defaults to 12 columns.  Finally, the data in the

  column will be justified according to the just  specification,  whilst

  the  header  is justified as indicated by hd-just.  Both justification

  parameters default to L, but can be any of the following:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | L  -- Left justification                                           |

  | R  -- Right justification                                          |

  | C  -- Centered                                                     |

  | R0 -- Right justification with leading zeroes (for numerics)       |

  |                                                                    |

  | Note that the R0 justification type is invalid for headings.       |

  |                                                                    |

  | Figure 25.  Justification keywords for use with the FORMAT command |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  If the data does not  fit  entirely  in  the  column  space  you  have

  provided  ("cols" parameter), i.e. if characters other than blanks (or

  leading zeroes for numeric fields) had to be removed in order for  the

  keyword substring to fit into the column, a "+" sign will be placed in

  the  following  inter-column  gap.   This merely informs you that more

  data is available, but could not be  displayed  with  the  format  you

  specified.

  It  is  also  possible  to specify a previously defined format name in

  lieu of column definition.  This will insert the complete format spec-

  ification that had been recorded when the format was defined.

  Each "fieldname" must be a  valid  "keyword"  name  for  the  database

  against which the format will be used.  No verification is made during

  the  definition  of the format.  In addition, some common keywords are

  provided irrespective of the database type:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | DATABASE -- Name of the database (1-8 characters)                  |

  | DATE     -- Date of the database entry (yy/mm/dd)                  |

  | TIME     -- Time of the database entry (hh:mm:ss)                  |

  | #RECS    -- Number of records in the database entry                |

  | #        -- Reference number of the database entry                 |

  |                                                                    |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Example

  -------

  We will assume that you want to create a  new  index  format  for  the

  "Opera"  database, because you are not satisfied with the default one.

  You would want to see the name of the character singing the tune,  not

  the  "Singer"  name which is what the person who keyed-in the database

  entries considers to be the best singer  for  the  tune  --  something

  which  you  might  not agree about and don't want to see in the index.

  You also want to reduces the "Recs"  column  to  2  characters,  since

  tunes  are  rarely  longer than 99 lines.  Finally, you want to change

  the heading of the "For" column to say "Excerpted from".

  The first thing to do is to prepare the "Item  #"  column,  which  you

  don't  want  to change.  The "keyword" associated with the item number

  is #, the contents are numeric, must be right-justified  with  leading

  zeroes  and  there are 6 characters.  Just to practise, we will change

  the header to "Nb" instead of "Item  #",  and  will  cause  it  to  be

  centered in the column.  The resulting specification is:

                               #.6R0 "Nb"c

  For  the  second column, we only want to change the title.  There were

  13 characters displayed, left-justified (which is the default) and the

  title must now be "Excerpted from".  Since the title is 14  characters

  long, we will make the field 14 characters long too:

                         From.14 "Excerpted from"

  The  "Recs"  column must be shortened to 2 characters.  The title must

  therefore be shortened too, and we will use "Sz".    This  is  numeric

  data, so we want it right-justified but without leading zeroes:

                              #Recs.2R "Sz"

  Now we want to create a new column for the character name.  This could

  be  up  to,  say,  12  characters,  left-justified and with a title of

  "Character":

                        Characters.12 "Character"

  Finally, we must prepare the "Name" column.  We want it  to  take  all

  the remaining room in the output display.  The simplest way to do this

  is  to  assign  it  a  length  of  80,  and  let LISTSERV truncate the

  resulting output lines to 80 by itself:

                        Name.80 "Name of the tune"

  Assuming we want to call this new format "MYINDEX", we would  use  the

  following command:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | > Format MYINDEX: #.6R0 "Item #" -                                 |

  | >   From.14 "Excerpted from" #Recs.2R "Sz" -                       |

  | >   Characters.12 "Character" -                                    |

  | >   Name.80 "Name of the tune"                                     |

  |                                                                    |

  | > Select fleur or diletto or belleza IN OPERA.100-150 -            |

  | >   where singer is not Domingo                                    |

  * The LIST command *

  ********************

  Introduction

  ------------

  The  purpose  of  the  LIST  command is to allow you to produce output

  indexes similar to  those  obtained  through  the  use  of  the  INDEX

  command, but with different fields.

  The  syntax  of the LIST command is a bit complex, but there is a very

  simple form when you are using a "format" which  you  have  previously

  defined:

                             List format-name

  The minimum abbreviation for the LIST command is "L".

+

+ In  fact,  the  INDEX  command  is  nothing but a synonym for the LIST

+ command.  The default "format" is the index provided with the database

+ type definition.

+

  Syntax and examples

  -------------------

  In fact, the syntax of the LIST command is very similar to that of the

  FORMAT command.  It allows you to specify column definitions  directly

  if  you  so desire, without having to define an explicit format.  That

  is, if you do not plan to re-use a given format in the  same  session,

  you can specify it directly on the LIST command.

  For  example,  let's  assume that you have selected a few tunes out of

  the "Opera" database, displayed an index, and that  you  realize  that

  you  also  want  to  display the name of the author of the opera.  You

  could do this with the following command:

                           List Author "Author"

  However, this would produce only a list of authors,  without  anything

  else.    What you want is whatever was on the previous index, plus the

  "Author" field.  To do this, you can simply append INDEX to your  LIST

  command,  to  cause the default index specifications to be appended to

  yours.

  realized that some words were missing since the  last  displayed  word

  was not truncated.

  * Advanced functions *

  **********************

  This chapter contains information about "advanced" database functions.

  You should not read it until you have acquired a good knowledge of the

  basic  database  functions.    You might in fact never need to use the

  functions described herein, althought database application programmers

  would certainly need to.

  Syntax of the DATABASE SEARCH command

  -------------------------------------

  When performing database searchs in "batch" mode, you submit a job  to

  LISTSERV  containing  a  DATABASE SEARCH command and an inline dataset

  containing the search commands to be  executed.    The  name  of  this

  dataset  is  specified  through  the use of a DD= keyword.  There are,

  however, some additional keywords that may be specified on  the  DATA-

  BASE SEARCH command.

  The ECHO keyword

  The  ECHO=  keyword  lets  you choose whether you want search commands

  echoed in the job output or not.  Echoed commands are  preceded  by  a

  "greater  than"  sign  in the job output.   The default is to echo all

  commands, but this may be overriden by specifying an  ECHO=NO  keyword

  on the DATABASE SEARCH command:

                     Database Search DD=Rules Echo=No

  Specifying  a  value  other  than  YES  or  NO causes the search to be

  aborted with an error.

  The CPULIM keyword

  The amount of CPU time that a database  search  job  may  use  is,  by

  default,  limited  to 60 seconds.  The amount of work that can be done

  in this time depends on the CPU model of course.   You  can  raise  or

  lower  this  limit by means of the CPULIM= keyword, whose exact syntax

  is:

                              CPULIM=<mm:>ss

  The search job is aborted (with a partial  output  being  returned  to

  you) if this limit is exceeded.

  The OUTLIM keyword

  The  number  of  output lines that can be generated by database search

  jobs has been limited, by default, to 2000 lines.   This is  to  avoid

  generating huge output because of an error in the search criteria (for

  example,  an  "AND" clause being inadvertently replaced with an "OR").

  This default value may be overriden through the use of an  OUTLIM=nnnn

  keyword.

  If  the  maximum  number of output lines is exceeded, the job is imme-

  diately aborted and its output is returned to you.

  Limiting the output of a given command

  --------------------------------------

  General description

  There might be cases where you want to limit the output of  a  partic-

  ular  database  command.    For example, you might want to display the

  beginning of an index or document which you know to  be  quite  large.

  This  can  be achieved by specifying an OUTLIM=nnnn keyword at the end

  of your command.   This keyword can appear  anywhere  after  the  last

  quoted  string in the command.  This restriction allows you to perform

  a search on a string containing "OUTLIM=" by just quoting it,  without

  changing  the the maximum number of output lines.  The keyword may not

  appear before the command verb itself.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  |                                                                    |

  | Print body of 220 outlim=30                                        |

  | Print outlim=100 all of 340-362                                    |

  |                                                                    |

  | Examples of invalid use of the "OUTLIM=" keyword:                  |

  | OUTLIM=20 Print all                                                |

  | --> The command verb (PRINT) must appear before the keyword.       |

  |                                                                    |

  | List Sender.17L "Sender outlim=10"c index                          |

  | --> Here the keyword will be considered part of the heading.       |

  |                                                                    |

  | List Sender.17L outlim=20 "Sender"c Index                          |

  | --> There is a quoted string after the keyword.                    |

  |                                                                    |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  If the maximum number of output lines is exceeded, an error message is

  issued (in the job output) and all output lines subsequently generated

  by the command are discarded.  However, the job itself is not aborted,

  and following commands will continue to execute normally.

  | Figure 31.  Example of the use of the OUTLIM keyword               |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Batch mode

  In batch mode, there are in fact two OUTLIM keywords:    the  "global"

  one,  which is defined in the DATABASE SEARCH command, and the "local"

  one, which applies only to the individual command with  which  it  has

  been specified.

  In batch mode, the default value of the local OUTLIM keyword is "infi-

  nite",  i.e.  it  is  internally  equated  to  the value of the global

  keyword.  The local OUTLIM keyword cannot  be  used  to  override  the

  limitations set by the global keyword.  That is, if the global keyword

  indicates  that  the job is to be aborted as soon as it generates more

  than 2000 lines, you cannot allow a  particular  command  to  generate

  3000  lines  of  output  by  appending an "OUTLIM=3000" keyword to it.

  However, if the command would have generated 3000 lines  and  you  had

  set  a  local  "OUTLIM=100"  keyword, only 100 lines would be actually

  generated and the job would not be aborted.

  Interactive mode

  In interactive mode, there is no  global  OUTLIM  keyword.    You  can

  generate  as  much output as you want, provided that each command does

  not exceed the limit specified by  the  local  OUTLIM  keyword,  which

  defaults  to 2000 lines for "local" users (i.e. users on the same node

  as LISTSERV) and 30 lines for "remote" users.  Furthermore, the OUTLIM

  keyword cannot be used to raise these limits.   That  is,  a  "remote"

  user  cannot request 100 lines of output to be sent to him in interac-

  tive mode by  specifying  "OUTLIM=100"  on  the  command  line.    The

  SENDBACK  command  should  be  used to retrieve large amounts of data.

  See "The SENDBACK command" for more information.

  Limiting the CPU time available to a given command

  --------------------------------------------------

  General description

  There might be cases where you want to limit the amount  of  CPU  time

  which may be spent on a particular command.  This can be done by spec-

  ifying  a  CPULIM=<mm:>ss  keyword  at the end of your command.  It is

  similar to the "OUTLIM=" keyword in that it may appear anywhere  after

  the  last quoted string in your command, but may not appear before the

  command verb itself.

  If the CPU limit you have specified is exceeded, the  job  is  aborted

  with  an error message, and the (incomplete) job output is returned to

  you.

  Batch mode

  In batch mode, there are two CPULIM keywords, a global one and a local

  one.  This is exactly the same as with  the  "OUTLIM"  keyword.    The

  default  value  of  the local CPULIM keyword is "infinite".  The local

  CPULIM keyword cannot be used to override the limitations set  by  the

  global keyword.

  Interactive mode

  In  interactive  mode, there is no global CPULIM keyword.  You can use

  as much CPU time as you want, provided  that  each  command  does  not

  exceed the limit specified by its local CPULIM keyword, which defaults

  to 20 seconds.  However, this limit can be raised by just specifying a

  CPULIM keyword with the desired value.

  Performance considerations

  --------------------------

  Search clauses

  LISTSERV  tries to process search clauses in such a way as to minimize

  the number of I/O operations to the database.   Each search  operation

  is done in three steps:

  1.  The  "date"  clause  is  compared against the date of the database

      item, which is present  in  the  database  index  and  immediately

      available to LISTSERV at no extra cost.

  2.  The  "WHERE"  clause  is executed against the document "keywords",

      which are available to LISTSERV at no I/O cost.

  3.  The document is read in from the database, and the  actual  search

      operation  takes place.  This step is waived if no search argument

      was specified, of course.

  It is therefore best to specify "date" or "WHERE"  clauses  which  you

  know  to  be true for the items you are searching and false for "most"

  other items.  This will not constitute extra work for LISTSERV, as one

  might first have thought.

  Response time

  You should always keep in mind that LISTSERV is  not  a  multi-tasking

  system,  and  may  only  serve a single user at a time.  There are two

  consequences to this:

  o   Other users will have to wait  for  your  database  search  to  be

      completed  before  they can be served.  You should therefore avoid

      sending database jobs that are likely to  require  more  than  one

      minute  of  wall-clock time to execute.  It is always best to send

      several smaller jobs, especially since the output will be  smaller

      and will therefore reach you faster.

  o   You  may have to wait for other users' commands to complete before

      you are served.  This means you should be prepared to wait  longer

      if  you  are  addressing  a  server  on a "hub" node with a lot of

      traffic.

  You should also remember that the "work unit" is the job when in batch

  mode, and the command when in interactive mode.    If  you  have  five

  different  and independent search operations in a given job, they will

  all be executed sequentially before the  next  user  is  served.    In

  interactive  mode,  LISTSERV  will  switch to the next user after each

  search command.

Version 1.30

8N1 - The most common modem format.  [See also format].

42A Block - This is a box about two inches square, with a modular

jack, that separates the wires coming from the phone company.

You can plug a phone or modem into this jacking, using a modular

cord.  [See also modular cord, modular jack, modular plug].

103 - Officially, `Bell 103' which is the standard controlling

transmission at 300 bps in the United States.  It was created by

AT&T.  [See also 212A, V.21].

212A - Officially, `Bell 212A' which is the standard controlling

transmission at 1200 bps in the United States.  It was created by

AT&T.  [See also 103, V.22].

300 bps (baud) - A transmission speed that is now almost never

used, although most modems will allow communication at the speed

(since it was common in the early 1980's).  It is roughly equal

to 30 characters per second.

1200 bps (baud) - In the mid 1980s this was the most common

transmission speed, until 2400 bps became popular/cheaper.  It is

roughly equal to 120 characters per second.

2400 bps (baud) - A fairly high-speed transmission speed that

towards the end of the 1980s gained popularity.  It is roughly

equal to 240 characters per second.

3400 hertz - The highest pitch that a telephone line will trans-

mit.  This cutoff limits the ways in which computers can communi-

cate over telephone lines.

8250 UART - The UART used for the communications ports on most

older computers.  [See also UART].

9600 bps (baud) - This, along with 14,400 bps are the 2 standard

speeds for high-speed modems.  It can transmit and receive ap-

proximately 960 characters per second (without compression).

14400 bps - Currently, the fastest standard speed for high-speed

modems.

16450 UART - The UART used with some 286 computers.  [See also

16550 UART - This is the UART used with most newer computers and

high speed modems.  There are several variations, but they all

include one main feature: they include buffering, so that if data

comes in or is sent faster than the computer/modem can accept it,

the UART will hold the data (up to 16 bytes) until the

computer/modem is ready for it.  [See also UART].

ly the spacebar or CTRL-X are used to abort a message.

access - Refers to an intangible amount (usually represented by a

security level or flags) that indicate to what extent you are

allowed to use a BBS.  When used in a term such as `you will be

granted access', it means the amount of access that new users

will generally receive.

account - A term that refers to information that a BBS has about

you.  It is usually referred to by an ID number or your name.

The information it contains can include any information that you

have at some point given the BBS, usually including your name,

phone number, and security level.  [See also user number].

account number - See user number.

Acculink - A packet switched network that is used to save money

on long-distance telecommunications.

ACK - A character (CTRL-F) that ACKnowledges something, usually

that a certain amount of data has been received correctly.  [See

also NAK].

acoustic coupler - This was common many years ago, but rare now.

It is a cradle in which you would place the handset of a phone.

This would be connected to a modem, and the modem would access

the phone line through this coupler.  Modern modems connect

directly to the phone line.  [See also acoustic modem].

acoustic modem - A modem that uses an acoustic coupler.  [See

also acoustic coupler].

adaptive data compression - See ADC.

adaptive dialing - When a modem can determine whether to dial

pulse or tone.  It will try dialing with tones first.  If that

doesn't work, it will dial pulse.

adaptive equalization - Modems that have this feature "listen" to

the phone line to find the bandwidth with the least noise, and

use that part of the band for transmission.  This allows for less

interference from noise.

ADC - Adaptive Data Compression.  A method of data compression

developed by Hayes, with a possible compression ratio of 2:1.

alias - A name that users can use on a bulletin board that is not

their own.  Aliases are usually used by young BBS users and those

who pirate software or do other illegal activities.  Some exam-

ples of aliases are `Cracker Kid', `Starbuck', and `Midnight

Killer'.  [Also called handle].  [See also user name].

ampersand - A character (&) that usually means `and'.

analog - As far as electronic signals are concerned, analog

refers to signals that can represent an infinite range of num-

bers, as opposed to digital which can only be distinct whole

numbers.  Analog data often comes from measurements.  The sound a

modem makes over the phone is analog since it can be any of a

number of different frequencies.  [See also digital].

anonymous - Refers to a message, where the author was able to

leave out his name.  On some BBS's you are allowed to post anony-

mous messages so that others won't know who you are.  The SysOp

usually can find out who the author is, however.

ANSI - ANSI is an organization that sets standards.  ANSI graph-

ics, however, is a set of cursor control codes which originated

on the VT100 smart terminal.  Many BBS's use these codes to help

improve the sending of characters to communications programs.  It

uses the escape character, followed by other characters, which

allows movement of the cursor on the screen, a change of color,

and more.

answering computer - This is the computer that is being called.

Therefore, it is usually the BBS or mainframe. [See also origi-

nating computer].

answering machine - See voice mail.

answer frequency - The frequency of the carrier that a modem uses

when it has been called by another computer.  [See also originate

frequency].

answer mode - When a modem is ready to pick up the phone when it

rings.  After picking up the phone, the modem will attempt to

make a connection with another modem.  All BBS's are in answer

mode.  [See also originate mode].

apostrophe - The character '.  It is usually used in contractions

of words, such as "don't".

ARC - When a filename has the extension ARC, it means that it is

an archive that has been compressed with the program PKARC.  To

get the files out of the archive, you need to use the program

PKXARC.  You should be able to find this program on many BBS's.

[See also archive, unarchive].

archive - [noun] A group of programs that are together, usually

compressed, in one file.  [verb] the process of combining those

files.  There are a number of software packages which will com-

press files into an archive, and most programs on BBS's have been

archived with one of these software packages.  [See also unar-

chive, compress, ZIP, ARJ, ARC, PAK, LZH].

area code - The 3-digit number used by the telephone company to

designate a geographic area.  Each state in the United States has

1 or more area codes.  If you call a phone number in a different

area code, you must dial "1" and then the area code before the

phone number.  If you call a number within your area code, you

just dial the phone number (if it is long distance within your

area code, you must dial "1" and then the number).

ARJ - [1] A file extension that indicates that the file was com-

pressed with the program ARJ.  [2] The program ARJ, used to

archive and un-archive files with the ARJ extension.  [See also

archive, unarchive].

ASCII - An acronym for American Standard Code of Information

Interchange.  It uses 7 bits to represent all uppercase and

lowercase characters, as well as numbers, punctuation marks, and

other characters.  ASCII often uses 8 bits in the form of bytes

and ignores the first bit.  [See also EBCDIC].

ASCII transfer - When a text file is sent directly as it is,

without any special codes.

asterisk - The character *.

asynchronous communication - This is when the beginning and end

of each byte that is sent over the phone lines is marked somehow.

This way, if there is line noise, the modem can find out right

away where the next byte should start.  [See also synchronous

communication].

AT command - Any instructions sent to a modem that begin with

"AT".  See also Hayes AT command set.

AT command set - See Hayes AT command set.

at sign - The character @.  Often read as 'at'.

AT&T - American Telephone and Telegraph, the inventors of the

first modem.

attended mode - This is the mode that a communications program is

in while you are operating it.  [See also unattended mode].

attention characters - The letters "AT", which get the modem's

attention that you are about to send it a command.  [See also

Hayes AT command set].

audio monitor - A speaker that is included as part of a modem.

It allows you to listen to whatever sound is on the phone line.

This is often used to let you hear busy signals or make sure that

the other modem picks up the carrier.

auto-answer - When a modem has the ability to automatically pick

up the phone when the phone rings and then attempt to connect

with another computer.

auto-answer LED - When this LED (found on some external modems)

lights up, it means that the modem is ready to answer the phone

when the phone rings (it will then try to connect to another

modem).  If it is not lit, the modem will not answer the phone.

[See also LED indicators].

auto-baud detect - The ability of a modem to change to a lower

bps rate if the computer it is calling is unable to communicate

at the requested speed.

auto-dial - When a modem is capable of dialing a phone number, so

that you don't have to dial manually.  Almost all modems have

this ability.

auto-download - The feature of some file transfer protocols

whereby a BBS can automatically make your communications program

start a download or upload (if your communications program has

this capability too).  This saves some time for the user, who

would otherwise have to set up his program to upload or download.

auto fall-back - See fall-back.

auto-kill - A feature on some BBS's that will delete a message on

a board if a certain threshold limit is reached.  For example, a

BBS might delete the second message on a board if there are

already 100 messages and someone posts another message.  This

would limit the board to 100 messages, but still keep the first

message (which is usually left by the SysOp).

auto-redial - A feature that allows a modem or a communications

program to dial a number again after it finds out that the number

is busy.  This is very handy when trying to get through to popu-

lar bulletin boards that are often busy.

auto-reliable - The ability of a modem to be able to communicate

both with modems that do have error-control and/or data compres-

sion, and those that do not.

auto-reply - To send a message (either public or private) immedi-

ately after reading a message on a BBS.  Usually, this is used to

respond to the author of the original message.

auto-syncing driver - This is the part of a BBS program that

automatically determines the bps rate of a caller.  [See also

manual-syncing driver].

auto-typing - This is when a communications program can upload

information to a BBS as if the user were typing in the informa-

tion.  For example, the user might type a message into a file,

and then the communications program can send it to a BBS (which

assumes the user is actually typing the message) to post as a

message.

---B---

backdoor - A way of getting into certain BBS's and getting full

access, without using a regular account.  Usually the author of

the BBS program built the backdoor into the program so that he

could get access to any BBS running his software.  Backdoors are

less common today than they used to be.

background send/receive - The ability of a fax/modem to send or

receive faxes while the computer is being used for other pur-

poses.

backslash - The character \.

backspace - The character (CTRL-H) that causes the cursor on your

screen to move back one space.  [See also destructive backspace,

non-destructive backspace].

bandwidth - A range of radio, audio, or other frequencies.

Telephone lines have a bandwidth from 300 hertz to 3400 hertz.

Since it is so limited, a modem must carefully change data into

sounds that "fit" within this range.  Similar to frequency spec-

trum.

bannerware - A software program that is free to use and copy, but

advertises another program or product.  [See also public domain].

batch file transfer - This is when more than one file is sent at

a time by a file transfer protocol.  The user will tell the BBS

what files he wants, and then the BBS will send all the files

before the user needs to do anything else.

baud - A term referring to the speed at which modems communicate.

Technically, it is the number of changes in an electronic signal

per second.  Since the number of changes used to be the same as

the number of bits sent or received per second, bps and baud are

often used interchangeably.  However, there is a difference,

which is very often confused.  For example, many 1200bps modems

were advertised as 1200 baud, even though they operate at 600

baud.  They send out 2 bits 600 times a second, which means that

it is 600 baud.  However, since it is so often misunderstood, you

can assume that when you see "baud" it means bits per second,

unless it is stated otherwise.  The term comes from the scientist

J. M. E. Baudot.  [See also bps, dibit].

BBS - An acronym for Bulletin Board System.  Usually it is a home

computer that has a modem attached and is waiting for calls from

other computers.  It can, however, also refer to commercial serv-

ices (such as CompuServe and Prodigy) and any other computers

that you can call via telephone lines. BBS's almost always allow

you to leave messages for other users.  Most BBS's have programs

that you can download and use on your computer.  BBS can also be

expanded more simply to `bulletin board'.

BCC - Block Check Character.  This is used to help make sure that

a group of data has not been accidentally altered.

Bell 103 - See 103.

Bell 212A - See 212A.

bisync - Refers to a modem that synchronizes with an electronic

signal over the telephone lines that marks the beginning of

blocks of data.  It is one of a number of synchronous protocols.

bit - A Binary digIT.  It is a number in base 2 (binary), which

means that it can only be a 0 or a 1.  It is used in the expres-

sion `bits per second'.  [See also byte].

bitstream - BBS's and related activities.  For example, you could

say that a lot of public domain programs can be found in the

bitstream.

blind dial - This is when a modem will dial a number without

waiting for a dial tone.  Some long-distance telephone services

require a number to be dialed, even though there is no dial tone.

In this case, your modem should be set to blind dial.

block - A group of data bytes.  For example, when downloading a

program, blocks of 128 or 1024 characters are often sent.

block check character - See BCC.

block size - This term, when used with either error control or

data compression protocols, refers to the number of characters to

be sent at one time.  If error control is used, the codes are

sent immediately following this block.  Typical block sizes are

64, 128, 192, or 256 characters.  Small block sizes are better

when the line quality is bad (such as for long distance calls),

while large block sizes are better during good connections (such

as for local calls).

board - [1] See BBS.  [2] See message base.

bps - Bits Per Second.  The transmission speed of most modems is

measured in baud or bps.  Bps is literally the number of bits

sent by the modem every second.  [See also baud].

braces - The characters { and }.  [See also left brace, right

brace].

brackets - The characters [ and ].  [See also left bracket, right

bracket].

break signal - This is a signal sent from one modem to another

that lasts for about a second.  It is sometimes used to try to

clear up synchronization problems.  On CCITT V.42 modems, there

are more specialized procedures involved with the break signal,

such as regarding the timing.  In V.42 there are three kinds of

break signals.  [See also expedited signaling, destructive sig-

naling, in sequence signaling].

browse - To go through the list of titles of messages or files on

a BBS and note which ones you want to read.

buffer - [1] (verb) To save all incoming data in memory.  [2]

(verb) to temporarily save incoming data until the computer has a

chance to process it.  [3] (noun) The place in memory where the

saved information is stored, as in "I have a 32K buffer."

bulk mailing - Used on a BBS when you send the same message to

more than one person.  This saves you from having to rewrite the

message.  [See also E-mail].

bulletin - A special message posted on a BBS, usually written by

the SysOp.  In most cases all users are expected to read any new

bulletins that may have been posted since their last call.

bulletin board - [1] See BBS. [2] Sometimes same as message base.

bulletin board system - See BBS.

busy - When a bulletin board is being used by as many users as it

can handle, which is when all the telephone lines are being used.

busy signal - The sound that you hear on a phone when the phone

number you are trying to reach is in use (busy).  It usually

consists of 60 cycles per minute.  [See also audio monitor].

byte - A group of 8 bits.  It usually represents one character.

[See also ASCII].

---C---

call back unit - A device that can be attached to the phone line

of a BBS to make it more secure.  After you connect with the BBS

and tell it who you are, the device will then call your phone

number.  This is used to make a very secure system to help pre-

vent hackers from invading a system.  It then becomes very diffi-

cult, if not impossible, for a hacker to get into the computer

system.

caller - Anyone who connects with a BBS.  It is usually used in a

phrase such as "You are caller #4328."

caller I.D. - A code that is sent over the phone lines in some

areas when a person makes a phone call.  This code includes the

phone number of the person making the call.  Some modems are able

to understand this signal, and let you know who is calling you

before you answer the phone.

caller log - A list of callers who have called a BBS within a

given time period.  The list may also keep information such as

the bps rate of the caller.  This is used so that the SysOp can

keep track of users, as well as any hackers, if they call the

BBS.

call progress monitoring - This is when your modem tells you what

is happening when you dial another computer.  It will tell you

that it has dialed the number, if the number is busy, if you

connect, etc.

call waiting - A service that the phone company offers that

allows the customer to hear a special sound on the phone if there

is an incoming call while the customer is talking on the phone.

The customer can then talk with either caller.  This is a nice

service unless you have a modem and call BBS's.  If you are

connected with a BBS and someone else calls you, you will be

disconnected.  In most areas there is a special 2 or 3 digit

number that you can dial before a phone call that will disconnect

call waiting for that call.  If you have call waiting, check your

phonebook or call the phone company to find out how to disconnect

call waiting.

capital letters - See uppercase.

capture - To 'catch' text that is being sent to your computer

from a BBS and put it in a buffer or a file.

capture buffer - The area in a computer's memory where a communi-

cations program stores incoming data that is to be saved.  [Also

called capture memory].  [See also buffer].

capture memory - See capture buffer.

card (peripheral) - Any computer peripheral that can be connected

directly, inside a computer.  Internal modems are usually periph-

eral cards.

caret - The character ^.

carriage return - See return.

carrier - The tone that the modem sends over the phone lines

before any data is sent on it.  It has a fixed frequency and a

fixed amplitude.  It is then modified to indicate data.

carrier detect - The wire in an RS-232C cable that holds the

information as to whether or not the modem senses a carrier (and

therefore is connected to another computer).  [Also called CD].

carrier detect threshold - A way of measuring how well a modem

can detect valid data over noisy phone lines.  It is measured in

negative dBm's (decibel-milliwatts).  The bigger the number (the

more negative) the better.  For example, -45 dBm is better than

-40 dBm.  [Same as receive sensitivity].

carrier detect LED - This LED will light up on an external modem

when it senses a carrier on the phone line.  This indicates that

the modem is connected to another modem.  [See also LED indica-

tors].

carrier frequency - This is the frequency which a modem uses to

transmit or receive data.

carrier loss time - The amount of time your modem will remain on

the line when the carrier is lost.  It will stay on the line for

this amount of time, to see if the carrier comes back.  If the

carrier does not come back, the modem will hang up the phone

line.

CB simulator - A computer service where there are multiple phone

lines (usually at least 5).  The CB simulator allows all the

users to send messages to one another while they are on-line.  It

usually allows you to send both public messages that everyone who

is on-line can see and private messages that only one specific

user can see.

CCITT - International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Com-

mittee.  This group, created by the United Nations, establishes

certain standards for data transmission.  Their transmission,

data compression, and error control standards all begin with V,

for example V.22.  To find the standards in this dictionary, look

up the standard name, i.e. V.42.

CD - See carrier detect.

character - Any letter, numeral or symbol.  [See also ASCII].

character format - See format.

characters per second - The number of bytes or characters that

can be sent over the phone lines in 1 second.  This is determined

by dividing the bps rate by the number of bits it takes to send

one byte (usually 10--the start bit, 8 bits of data, and the stop

bit).  So, a 2400bps modem can send 240 characters per second

(2400/10).  [Same as CPS].

chat - A mode that allows two or more people (almost always a

SysOp and a user on a BBS) to communicate directly with each

other using the modem.  Usually, each person can see what the

other is typing at all times and can interrupt them (a beeping

sound with a CTRL-G is useful to interrupt with).  [See also page

(verb)].

chat mode - This is when a communications program is set up so

that the user can "chat" with someone on the other end of the

line.  One way this can work is that anything that is typed by

the other person is printed on the top half of the screen, but

anything you type would appear on the bottom half of the screen.

[See also chat].

checksum - A number that represents a larger group of numbers in

order to check for errors in data transmission.  It is commonly

used when downloading a program, as well as in error control

protocols.  The checksum is the result of a mathematical equa-

tion, such as adding all the numbers in a block together (al-

though it is usually more complex than that).

chip set - A group of important IC chips on a modem (or other

computer peripheral) that are all made by the same manufacturer.

While there are many companies that make modems, there are only a

few that make the chips for them.  Because the chip manufacturer

is making the chips for many companies, they produce more chips,

and the price of the chips is lower than if each company produced

their own.  This decreases the price of the modems on the market.

Christensen protocol - See Xmodem.

circular dialing queue - This is used in some communications

programs to allow you to enter a list of phone numbers to call,

and it will keep going through the list and dialing numbers until

it reaches one of them.  This is useful if you are trying to

reach BBS's that are often busy.

city code - With many foreign countries, you need to dial a city

code before the phone number you are trying to reach.  You must

dial the country code before the city code.  The city code will

be from 1 to 5 digits.  [See also country code].

clear to send - See CTS.

columns - A measurement of the width of your screen as measured

by the number of characters your screen can fit across it.  BBS's

often ask for your screen width.  Most computers have a screen

width of 80 columns.

COM port - IBM and compatible computers have the ability to hook

up devices (such as modems and mice) to the computer, through

ports.  These ports are called COM ports, and are numbered 1-8.

While all 8 could be used, usually only #1 and #2 are used, while

#3 and #4 are used occasionally.  [See also selectable COM port].

comm program - See communications program.

command buffer - The place in your modem's memory where it stores

the commands that you give it.  [See also buffer].

command echo - When this is on, any AT command sent to the modem

will then be sent back from the modem to the computer.  For

example, if you were to type "ATS11=40," the modem would act on

the command, and then send "ATS11=40" back to the computer.

command mode - This is when your modem interprets what you type

as commands, rather than just sending the data over the phone

line.  [See also data mode, terminal mode, voice mode].

command set - A list of all the possible commands that you can

give something, such as a modem, a BASIC program, or a BBS.  [See

also Hayes AT command set].

commands - Instructions that you can give to a modem, a BBS, or

another similar device.

commercial host system - An on-line system that you can call up,

that is operated by a company that charges you to use it.

commercial software - Software that is copyrighted and may not

legally be distributed by BBS's or copied and given to other

users.  [See also public domain, copyright].

communication - The idea of transferring one's thoughts or ideas

to another person.  This can be through speaking, radio, T.V.,

telephones, mail, etc.

communications program - A program that controls a modem, and has

features that allow the user to do such things as upload, down-

load, etc.  It is similar to a terminal program but more sophis-

ticated.  It used to be used interchangeably with terminal pro-

gram.  [Same as comm program].

compatible - When one object can work just like another.  Al-

though the term is usually used with computers, it is often used

with modems.  Many modems are compatible with other popular

modems.  [See also V.42 compatible].

compliant - See V.42 compliant.

compress - To make data take up less space.  Archiving programs

do this, which means that files will take less time to transfer

with modems.  Many modems now have the ability to automatically

compress the information they send and receive.  [See also ar-

chive, data compression].

compression ratio - The ratio of the original size of data that

is sent to the compressed size.  For example, a 3:1 compression

ratio means that the original data takes up 3 times the amount of

space as the compressed data, and a modem would transfer the data

3 times more quickly than if it was not compressed.

computer network - See LAN.

configure - To set something to your liking.  To configure a BBS,

you may have to tell it your screen width, whether you need line

feeds and other such information.

configuration - Configuration is the information describing what

your computer's hardware and software is like, so that a BBS can

send information properly.  For example, you need to tell a BBS

how wide your screen is.

connect - [1] To get to a point where you can start communicating

with a BBS, as in "I have connected with the BBS."  [2] Any point

after you have established contact with a BBS, as in "I am still

connected with the BBS" or "I have been connected with the bulle-

tin board for just over an hour."

connect speed - The speed, in bps, which your modem uses when it

connects with a BBS.  This speed will depend on the speed of your

modem, and the BBS's modem.  It will be no higher than the lower

of the two speeds.  If you have a 2400bps modem, and call a

1200bps BBS, your connect speed should be 1200bps.

connection - The actual contact with a BBS.  It is used most

often in expressions such as "I have a bad connection," meaning

that there is line noise.

control character - Any of the 32 ASCII characters that do not

print on your screen or printer.  These characters are usually

used to control your computer.  [See also CTRL].

copyright - A term meaning that a program or text file is pro-

tected by the government so that it may not legally be copied,

except to make backup copies, or as specified by the author of

the program.  You should not upload a copyrighted program to a

BBS, unless it is shareware or freeware.  [See shareware, free-

ware].

Co-SysOp - A term similar to a vice president.  The Co-SysOp of a

BBS has more access to the BBS than any other user except the

SysOp.  The Co-SysOp might check messages to make sure that they

are suitable for the BBS (not containing illegal messages), and

he may be able to validate users.  Sometimes a Co-SysOp is just a

title given to someone who helped the BBS a lot by doing things

such as posting messages and uploading.  Also, many times there

is more than one Co-SysOp.  [See also SysOp].

country code - The code that the telephone company uses to desig-

nate a certain country.  If you need to call a BBS (or a person)

in a foreign country, you need to dial the country code, then

usually the city code, and then the local phone number.  The

country code will be 2 to 3 digits.  [See also city code].

CPS - See characters per second.

<CR> - Carriage Return.  See return.

CRC - Stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check.  CRC is a system to

make sure that a block of data (usually from a downloaded pro-

gram) is as free from error as possible.  It is usually 16 or 32

bits long (CRC-16 and CRC-32 respectively).

crash - When a BBS is harmed in such a way that it is temporarily

inoperable.  The usual cause is that some files are destroyed,

either by accident or by a hacker.  Some people try to crash

BBS's, a fact that most users (and especially SysOps) think is

sad.

crash recovery - This feature of some file transfer protocols

allows a user to continue a download or upload that had been

interrupted.  With this system, a user will not have to receive

the data that had already been sent before the disconnection,

which will save time.

crippleware - This is software, usually distributed as shareware,

but it is not a complete program.  If it is a game, it might only

let you play the first level.  If it is a database program, it

might only let you have 50 entries (whereas the real version

would have more).

CRT - Cathode Ray Tube.  This is another name for a computer

monitor.

CTRL - The abbreviation for ConTRoL.  This abbreviation is fol-

lowed by a dash and then a character, such as CTRL-C, meaning the

control character C.  [See also control character].

CTRL-G - The control character G, which usually causes the com-

puter to produce a beeping sound.

CTS - Clear To Send.  This is when the modem lets the other

computer know that it can send information to the other computer.

[See also flow control, RTS].

CTS/RTS - The method of flow control that uses the CTS and RTS

signals.  It is built into the hardware, not software.  [See also

CTS, RTS, flow control].

cursor - The marker that points out where text will next appear

on your screen.  It can be one of many things, usually a plain

white or flashing square, or an underline character.

cyclic redundancy check - See CRC.

cycling - When a light (such as the RD light) on an external

modem continuously turns on and off.

---D---

dash - The character -.

data - A group of characters that represents meaningful informa-

tion.  This information can be anything, ranging from bank ac-

count numbers to computer programs.  [See also information].

database - [1] A program that keeps track of data, such as the

information contained on mailing labels, or the price of stocks.

[2] A large group of data.  The sum of the information that you

can receive on extensive pay services such as CompuServe can be

considered a database.

database hack - A way that hackers attempt to gain access to

someone's account on a BBS.  They create a list of common pass-

words (such as SECRET and MINE) and try every one on an account

to see if it is the right password.  Because of this, an intelli-

gent BBS user will not use easy-to-guess passwords.

data bits - [1] The number of bits that the modem uses to repre-

sent one byte.  This is usually 8, though it can be 7 since ASCII

needs only 7 of the 8 bits.  [See also format].  [2] the actual

bits within a byte being sent through the phone lines.

data byte - A byte of information that is being sent over the

phone lines.

data carrier detect - See DCD.

data communications equipment - See DCE.

data compression - Some modems have the capability to 'squash'

data so that it takes up less space.  When another modem (that

also has this capability) receives the data, it 'unsquashes' the

data to its original form.  By using data compression, a modem

can send information faster.  It's a lot like shorthand--all the

information is still there, but it takes less space and is quick-

er.  [See also MNP-5, V.42bis].

data grade - A phone line that is set up by the phone company to

be more convenient for data communications.  It should have

better electronic characteristics than a regular phone line.

[See also voice grade].

data mode - The mode that a modem is in where all information

typed on the computer will be sent through the modem, and all

information received by the modem will be placed on the screen.

[See also command mode, terminal mode, voice mode].  [Same as

on-line mode].

data modem - A modem that does not have the ability to send or

receive fax transmissions.

data rate - See data transmission rate.

data set ready - See DSR.

data terminal equipment - See DTE.

data terminal ready - See DTR.

data throughput - See effective transfer rate.

data transmission rate - The speed at which data travels.  For

example, data may be sent at 115,200bps.  [Same as transmission

rate, transmission speed, data rate].  [See also bps].

dB - See decibel.

dBm - Decibel referred to one milliwatt.  This is used to measure

certain levels, such as transmit level.  [See also transmit

level, receive level, carrier detect threshold].

DB-25 - The 25 pin plug that connects an RS-232C cable to the

RS-232 port.

DCD - Data Carrier Detect.  This tells the computer whether or

not the modem is connected to another modem.

DCE - Data Communications Equipment.  These are computer periph-

erals that communicate.  A modem is a DCE.  [See also DTE].

decibel - A unit describing how loud one sound is compared to

another.  [Same as dB].

decompress - The process of converting compressed data back to

its original form.  [See also archive].

decoy program - A program or text sent on mainframes and multi-

line BBS's that simulates the log-on procedure.  The unsuspecting

user will see this and enter his password, and the person who

made the decoy program will get the password and can use the

account.

default - A setting or an answer to a question that is automati-

cally assumed.  If 80 columns is a default, then you only have to

change it if you want something other than 80 columns.

delay time - The time it takes between sending data on a computer

and receiving a response from the remote computer.  If the delay

is long, most file transfer protocols will slow down.  [See also

protocol].

demodulate - To convert the tones that a modem sends over the

phone lines back into data.  [See also modulate].

destructive backspace - A term that indicates that your communi-

cations program deletes the character the cursor is on when it

receives the backspace character.  [See also non-destructive

backspace].

destructive signaling - This is a type of break signal that

causes all data to be destroyed while the break signal is being

sent.  [See also break signal].

dial - To send out either the tones or pulses that the phone

company needs to understand what number you are calling.  Most

modems will dial automatically (auto-dial).

dialing speed - See touchtone dialing speed.

dialout facility - A service where you call a computer, and from

that computer you can call other computers.  It is usually used

with packet switching networks, which saves you money on long

distance calls.

dialup line - A telephone line connected to the telephone compa-

ny.  This is a regular phone line.  [Compare to leased line].

dialup modem - A modem that is used over normal (dialup) tele-

phone lines.

dial modifiers - Any commands that are sent to a modem which

change the way a phone number is dialed.  For example: tone,

pulse, and pause.

dial tone - The sound that you hear when you pick up the phone if

it is ready to have an outgoing call made.  Your modem, if it can

dial, should understand this tone.

dibit - Two bits sent simultaneously by a modem.  For example, a

modem can operate at 1200bps and 600 baud.  What happens in this

case is that 600 times a second, the modem sends out a dibit (two

bits).  Therefore, it is sending 1200 (600 times 2) bits per

second.  [See also bps, baud].

dictionary - The V.42bis data compression protocol stores certain

data that is being sent/received in a "dictionary," which it

refers to when compressing/decompressing data.  [See also

V.42bis, dictionary size].  [Same as encoder dictionary].

dictionary size - This is the number of characters in the dic-

tionary used for the V.42bis data compression protocol.  It is

usually 2048, but can also be 1024, 512, or 4096.  [See also

dictionary, V.42bis].

digital - A system using discrete numbers to represent data.  In

computer systems, these are the numbers 0 and 1 (for binary).

[See also analog].

digital signal processing - This is what is used to perform echo

cancellation on a CCITT V.32/V.42 modem.  [Same as DSP].  [See

also echo cancellation].

DIP switch - DIP stands for Dual In-line Package.  DIP switches

are a group of small switches placed together on electronic

equipment.  Many modems have these.  The switches can be changed

to alter various settings.  For example, one DIP switch on a

modem may change the status of the DTR.

direct mode - See MNP direct mode.

disconnect - To hang up the phone and cause the connection be-

tween your modem and another computer to be stopped.  Most BBS

programs have a way of disconnecting a user who has called the

bulletin board, if it is needed.

disk capture - This is when a communications program will save

incoming information to the disk.  This is useful if you are

receiving a text file that you want to read later.

dither tone - See echo suppressor defeat tone.

door - A gateway that will allow a bulletin board to run a pro-

gram while a user is on the BBS.  Games are popular doors on

BBS's, although doors can be used for serious purposes, too.

down - A word meaning that a bulletin board is not working, so

that you can not connect with it.  This can mean that there was a

crash, or it could simply mean that the SysOp is playing a game

on his computer.  Often a SysOp will leave a phone connected to

his BBS line off the hook when he is using the computer so that

you will get a busy signal.  [See also running].

download - To receive a computer file from a bulletin board.  It

is usually a computer program, but can also be a text file.  [See

also upload, protocol].

DSP - See Digital Signal Processing.

DSR - Data Set Ready.  This indicates that the modem is on, and

ready to accept input from the computer (either commands or data

to be sent over the phone line).  [Same as modem ready].

DTE - Data Terminal Equipment.  This is computer equipment which

is not directly responsible for communicating, for example, the

computer itself and printers.  [See also DCE].

DTMF - Dual Tone Multi-Frequency.  This is used in tone dialing.

It is a method where 2 distinct tones are sent for each digit

dialed.

DTR - Stands for Data Terminal Ready.  The DTR signal is sent

from the computer to the modem, to let the modem know that the

computer is ready to communicate.

dumb modem - A modem that only sends and receives characters to

or from the phone line.  [See also smart modem].

dumb terminal - A keyboard and monitor that receive and send

information either to or from another computer or a phone line.

It is up to the other computer to do anything else, such as word

wrap.  [See also terminal, smart terminal].

duplex - The capability of both sides of a connection to send

information at the same time.  Full duplex is the same as duplex.

When you are talking on the telephone to someone you are using

duplex (you can both talk at the same time if you want to).  [See

also half duplex].

---E---

EBCDIC - Stands for Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Interchange

Code.  It is a way of coding characters.  It is similar to ASCII,

but it uses 8 bits instead of 7.  [See also ASCII].

EBBS - Electronic Bulletin Board System.  See BBS.

echo - [1] A character that is sent back from a BBS instead of

the character that was sent to the BBS.  For example, if you

enter your password on a BBS it will often say `dots will echo',

meaning that it will send a period for every character in your

password (it is a safety feature).  [2] When a bulletin board or

your terminal program sends back the characters that you type.

If the bulletin board does not send back the characters, your

terminal program should print them to your screen as you type

them.  [3] Echo on the phone lines is when you hear an echo on a

long distance call.  This can interfere with modem transmissions.

[See also local echo, echo suppression].

echomail - This is a technique used by many BBS's that will allow

a message base to be shared by many BBS's.  Usually late at night

the BBS's will exchange any new messages.  This way a user on one

BBS can interact with users on other BBS's.

echo canceling - This is included in the CCITT V.32 standard.  It

attempts to cancel echoing on long distance calls, which other-

wise would interfere with the transmission.  It sends the exact

opposite of the sound it receives, which cancels the echo.  [See

also echo suppression, digital signal processing].

echo suppression - Echo suppression is a technique that the phone

company uses in an attempt to make long distance voice calls

sound better, by minimizing echo.  However, this can cause the

carrier of a modem to be lost (or at least garbled, causing a

loss of data).  In order to prevent this problem, a modem needs

to send a certain tone over the phone line at all times.  [See

also echo suppression defeat tone].

echo suppression defeat tone - This is a signal sent over the

phone lines by some modems in an attempt to cancel out the nega-

tive effects of echo suppression.  In the Bell standard, it is

2225Hz +/- 10Hz, in CCITT standards it is 2100Hz +/- 15Hz.  [Same

as dither tone].  [See also echo suppression].

editor - The part of the BBS that allows you to enter a message

and edit it.

effective throughput rate - See effective transfer rate.

effective transfer rate - This is the rate at which data can be

sent after data compression has been accounted for.  For example,

a modem may be rated at 9600bps.  If it uses data compression

with a ratio that averages 2:1, it has an effective transfer rate

of 19,200bps.  While only 9600 bits are sent over the phone line,

they represent 19,200 bits of real information after they are

decoded.  [Same as throughput, data throughput, effective

throughput rate].  [See also raw speed, data compression].

EIA - Electronics Industry Association.  They developed the RS-

232C standard.  [See also RS-232C].

electronic mail - See E-mail.

E-mail - Electronic mail.  Messages that are sent to individual

people.  You choose who to send the message to and only that

person receives the message.  (Some BBS programs allow you to

send bulk E-mail, which goes to more than one person, but the

concept is still the same.)

emotion icons - These are groups of several characters that are

used to express emotion over the phone line.  For example, :) is

a happy face (when you look at it from the side).  Similarly, :(

is a sad face.

emulate - When a communications program imitates a certain brand

of terminal.

encoder dictionary - See dictionary.

encryption - Coding data so that people who are not supposed to

see the data will not be able to understand it.

ENQ character - This is the same as Control-E, ASCII value 5.  It

stands for Enquiry.

EOF - Stands for End Of File.  It is the character CTRL-Z, which

can mark the end of a text file.

equalization - When a modem adjusts its transmit level for dif-

ferent frequencies, to account for the greater loss at certain

frequencies over the phone line.  [See also transmit level,

receive level].

error - When there is line noise and one or more characters are

changed.  This is especially noticeable when downloading or

uploading a program.  In this case the error must be detected,

and the data must be re-sent (or else the file will be

destroyed).  [See also line noise].

error control - The ability of a modem to notice errors in trans-

mission, and have any incorrect data re-sent.  [See also MNP 1-4,

LAPM, V.42].

error correction - See error control.  (Error control is a more

correct term, since the modem does not correct incorrect data, it

just has it sent again).

error free - When referring to data transmission, error free

refers to communications equipment in which data is transmitted

perfectly.  This is actually an impossible situation, but it is

possible to have data that is very, very close to error-free.

ESC - See escape key.

escape character - ASCII character 27.  [See also escape key,

ASCII].

escape character guard time - See guard time.

escape code - See escape sequence.

escape key - The key marked ESC on a computer keyboard.  It is

often used to 'escape' out of a program or procedure in a pro-

gram.  Also, the ASCII character (ASCII 27) is used by ANSI to

produce limited graphics.  [Same as ESC].  [See also ANSI].

escape sequence - A sequence of characters (usually +++) that

instruct a modem to change from data mode to command mode, if

they are typed with a certain delay before and after they are

typed.  [See also data mode, command mode, guard time].

even parity - This indicates that the parity bit is always set

such that the sum of the "1" bits in each byte that is sent, plus

the parity bit, is an even number.  [See also parity bit,

format].

executive mode - When a user is connected to a bulletin board,

but the SysOp is controlling the bulletin board.  The most common

use of an executive mode is when the SysOp validates users with-

out the user having to hang up.

exit - See logoff.

expedited signaling - Break signals that are sent before any

other data.  All data will remain intact.  [See also break sig-

nal].

expert mode - Many BBS's have this feature, which allows a user

who feels that he knows the system well to save time by not

having menus sent to his system.  If he forgets some commands

that are available, he can have the menu appear.  Otherwise, the

menus will not appear.  This is especially helpful at slow

speeds.

extension - The extension of a filename on an MS-DOS system is

the last three characters, which are separated from the rest of

the filename by a period.  For example, the filename SPREDSHT.WKS

has the extension "WKS".  [See also archive].

external modem - A modem that is located outside of the computer.

It is hooked up to the computer with a cable, most commonly an

RS-232C cable.  [Same as stand-alone modem].  [See also internal

modem].

external program - A computer program that is separate from

another program.  When BBS software runs a program that is sepa-

rate from it, it is called an external program.  [See also door].

external protocol - This is a file transfer program that is not

built into your comm program, but the comm program is able to run

it anyway (as an external program).  [See also internal proto-

col].

extract - To take out files from an archive.  [See also archive,

unarchive].

---F---

factory configuration - The way that your modem was set up when

it left the factory.  Typing ATZ normally returns your modem to

the factory configuration.

fall-back - The ability of a modem to change to a lower speed

when there is a problem communicating at the higher speed (usual-

ly caused by line noise).  [Same as auto fall-back].

fall-forward - This is when a modem will change to a faster speed

if line conditions improve after a fall-back occurs.

fax - Short for facsimile.  It is a copy of a piece of paper that

is sent over the phone lines by a fax machine.  Some modems also

have fax machines built in them, so that they can send and/or

receive faxes.  [See also faxmodem].

faxmodem - A modem that also has the capability of sending and

receiving faxes.  [See also fax].

FCC - Federal Communications Commission.  This is the government

agency that is responsible for making sure that phone lines are

being used correctly and that radio interference is at acceptable

levels.

FDM - Frequency Division Multiplexing.  A way that some modems

transmit full duplex information, by splitting the telephone

bandwidth into two sections.  One is used to receive data, the

other is used to send data.  This method can be used at speeds of

up to 2400bps.  [See also modulate].

feature negotiation - This is when a modem can determine the best

protocol to use when connecting to another modem.  This includes

the fastest speed, error control, and data compression.  It is

part of hand-shaking.  [Same as negotiation scheme].

feedback - A message that is sent by a user to the SysOp of a

bulletin board.  While it is meant to be a way for the user to

let the SysOp know of any complaints or compliments they may

have, it is more often a convenient way of sending E-mail to the

SysOp.

filter - When a communications program or a BBS program takes out

certain characters or words and doesn't accept them.  For exam-

ple, a bulletin board program may filter out CTRL-G's so that the

SysOp does not hear the beeping.  Also, some BBS programs have

the ability to take out obscene words from messages.  [See also

profanity filter].

filter device - A piece of hardware which goes between the modem

and the phone line of a BBS.  When a user calls up, they will

either have a voice or computer connection that asks them for a

special password before they can gain access to the main computer

system.  This makes it more difficult for hackers to get into the

system, but is also more of a burden for the legitimate users.

flash - On a normal telephone, this is when you quickly push down

and release the off-hook button.  It is often used for call

waiting.  Many modems have a command that will simulate this

action.

flag - A piece of information that is either TRUE or FALSE.  It

is used in some bulletin board security systems to indicate

whether the user has access to certain parts of the bulletin

board.  It is also used by modems for certain indicators such as

DTR.

flow control - A method of controlling when information is sent.

One method is Xon/Xoff, where a BBS will send information until

your computer sends an Xoff (CTRL-S).  It will resume sending

information when you send an Xon (CTRL-Q).  [See also Xon/Xoff,

CTS/RTS].

format - Information such as "8N1" that describes the way that

your computer and a bulletin board should be connected.  The

first digit is normally 7 or 8, the number of data bits.  The

second character is a letter describing the parity (N for None, M

for Mark, S for Space, O for Odd, and E for Even).  The last

number is the number of stop bits.  8N1 is the most common for-

mat.  Data is sent as follows: Start bit (0) - 7 or 8 bits of

data - (parity bit, if used) - stop bit (1) - (gap bits, if used)

[Same as settings].

forward - To send E-mail that you received to someone else.

framing bits - Bits that are used to separate characters.  The

bits themselves are not used as information.  [See also stop

bits, start bits].

framing error - This occurs when the UART in a modem does not

detect a stop bit.  The modems are probably out of sync with each

other.

freeware - Computer programs that are copyrighted, but they may

be legally copied if there is no payment involved.  They are

almost the same as public domain programs, except that public

domain programs are not copyrighted and may be sold for payment.

Freeware programs often can not be changed when they are distrib-

uted.  [See also public domain].

frequency division multiplexing - See FDM

frequency shift keying - See FSK.

frequency spectrum - A range of frequencies having similar char-

acteristics.  All sounds we hear are grouped as the audio fre-

quency spectrum.  Similar to bandwidth.

FSK - Frequency Shift Keying.  This method that low-speed modems

use to transmit information over phone lines uses 4 frequencies,

which are used to represent 0's and 1's for both sending and

receiving.  These modems can only operate up to a speed of 600bps

at full duplex (or 1200bps at half duplex).  [See also modula-

tion].

full duplex - See duplex.

full flow - See streaming.

---G---

gap - See gap bits.

gap bits - A series of 0's that are sometimes sent between data

bytes over the phone lines.

garbage - Unwanted characters that appear because of either line

noise or incorrect settings.  [See also line noise, format].

gateway - A connection between one network and another.  For

example, on some commercial on-line services, you can reserve

airplane tickets.  This usually involves the on-line service you

called connecting to the airline's computer.

general file - Any kind of text on a bulletin board that is not

specifically E-mail, a bulletin of any sort, or a message.

Usually they are long files for the user's information.  Some

examples of general files are: a file containing more information

on the bulletin board program, a newspaper article about a con-

troversial issue, and an article that explains how to make your

own disk drive.

global scan - When a bulletin board goes through all the messages

on all boards to check for new messages that the user has not yet

read.  This is very useful as it prevents the user from having to

go through each board to check for new messages.  [See also

quickscan].

goodbye - See logoff.

group III FAX - The standard controlling fax communication.

guard time - When the escape sequence is sent to your modem, the

guard time is the amount of time that must occur between charac-

ters of the escape code, for it to be considered the escape code.

Otherwise, it will assume you are entering data that is meant to

be sent to the other modem.  [See also escape code, data mode,

command mode].

guard tone - A tone that is sometimes sent over the phone line

for echo suppression.  1800 hertz and 550 hertz are sometimes

used.

guest - When a user is just looking at a bulletin board and does

not want to receive an account there.  The user usually has the

same privileges as a new user who has not yet been validated.

Many bulletin board programs allow guests.  This is a good fea-

ture, since the SysOp does not have to validate users who will

not be calling the board more than once or twice.

---H---

hacker - [1] A programmer who likes to experiment with computers

(this is the type of person who often will not read the documen-

tation to software before using it, so he can figure out how to

use it by himself).  [2] A person who attempts to abuse the

privileges of computer BBS's and other services.  His activities

may range from getting and exploring an account he is not sup-

posed to have on a mainframe computer to attempting to crash a

bulletin board.  These people are unwanted by most BBS's.  They

are often not malicious.  The media sometimes confuses them with

phreakers. [See also phreaker].

half card - For IBM compatible computers, this is a card that is

smaller than normal (about half the size).  It does not affect

the operation of the modem.

half duplex - This is a mode which allows only one modem at a

time to transmit information.  When one modem is finished, the

other can then start to transmit.  [Same as simplex].  [See also

duplex].

hand-shaking - The process of establishing an electronic link

between two modems.  Handshaking lets both modems know informa-

tion such as the speed they will be using, and whether or not the

modems have the same type of error correction capability.  [See

also feature negotiation].

handle - See alias.

hang - When a bulletin board all of a sudden starts to do noth-

ing.  That is, it will not accept calls or even let the SysOp

type anything until the computer is reset.  This can be caused by

a problem with the BBS software, or the computer itself.

hang up - When someone closes a switch which stops a telephone

connection.  This either happens when someone puts a telephone

receiver into its cradle or when the person instructs the modem

to hang up.

hardware error control - This is when error control is performed

by the modem, not the communications program.  [See also error

control].

Hayes compatible - Any modem which operates in the same way as

the modems developed by Hayes.  Most modems up to 2400bps are

Hayes compatible.

Hayes AT command set - This is the set of commands used to oper-

ate Hayes modems and Hayes compatible modems.  Almost all of the

commands start with AT.

help file - Many BBS systems will include information on how to

run the system in case you are having troubles.  Often just

pressing "H" or a question mark at the main menu will show you

the information, but with some systems you have to find the help

file somewhere, occasionally amidst the files to be downloaded.

hertz - A unit of frequency, which equals cycles per second.

high speed - A modem that operates at a high speed.  In most

cases it is assumed to be at least 9600bps.

host - The computer that is being used to store information from

other computers.  Every BBS is a host, and so are pay services.

host program - A computer program that allows your computer to

accept incoming calls, and let the callers upload or download

files.  It is limited compared to a BBS.  If you want to do any-

thing more, such as record information or print it out, you

usually have to do the programming yourself.  [Similar to unat-

tended mode].

hot-keys - A term which means that you only have to press one key

at a menu, rather than several.  You don't have to hit the return

key.  Usually you can do this while a menu is being sent to your

computer (so you don't have to wait for the whole menu to be

sent).

HST - High Speed Technology.  A high speed protocol developed by

US Robotics.  It allows for 14400bps one way, and 450bps the

other way.  The two computers can switch when one has more infor-

mation to send than the other.  It is not compatible with the

CCITT protocol.

hyphen - The character -.

Hz. - See hertz.

---I---

IBM graphics - On IBM computers, there is a group of "graphic"

characters (such as lines, used to make boxes) that can be shown

on the screen.  Some BBS's will send these graphic characters if

requested.  Most non-IBM computers will not recognize these

characters.  These characters' bytes have their 8th bit set to 1.

ID number - See user number.

idle time - When a computer is not being used.  This refers to

either  a computer running a BBS that is not busy, or a caller

that is not sending anything or receiving anything.  Some BBS's

will hang up a user if there is a certain amount of idle time

(such as a minute).

inactivity timer - When this is on, a modem will automatically

disconnect from a remote computer after a given amount of time

passes without any information sent or received.

incoming - Information that is being sent to your computer.

information - Any data that is sent between computers.  Data

usually refers to numbers and small pieces of information.

Information is usually used for larger things, such as text

files.  [See also data].

initialize - To set up either hardware or software to work cor-

rectly with your system.  Many modems have to be initialized each

time they are used so they `know' how to act with the communica-

tions program.  When your software initializes your modem, it may

tell the modem to expect 2400 baud and no parity, as well as the

fact that you do not want any information to echo on your screen.

[See also initialization string].

initialization string - This is the command that your communica-

tions program sends to the modem when the program is started.  In

most cases, it is an AT command just like you would type in.

[See also initialization].

interdigit interval - When pulse dialing is used, you need a

certain amount of time free of "clicks" so that the phone company

knows when each digit is finished.  When you are dialing on a

rotary phone, you don't need to worry about this because the time

it takes to turn the dial is sufficient.  A modem that sends

pulse codes must wait a specified amount of time before going

from one digit to the next in a phone number.  A value between

1/2 second a 1 second is usually used.

internal modem - A modem that is `hidden' inside your computer.

Outside of your computer you will only see the phone cord.  An

internal modem can either be on a peripheral card that is placed

inside your computer, or it can be built into your computer.

[See also external modem].

internal protocol - A file transfer protocol that comes as part

of a comm program, and is not separate from it.  [See also exter-

nal protocol].

interrupt - An interrupt, as far as modems and computers are

concerned, is an electronic signal that tells the computer that

something important is happening.  Most modems can be set up by

software to send an interrupt every time a character is received

by the modem.  When operating at fast speeds, this makes sure

that the computer doesn't miss characters as it is printing them

on the screen or saving them to a disk.

in sequence signaling - Break signals that are sent in the proper

order among data, as opposed to expedited signaling (which will

send the signal before other data).  No data is harmed, it all

remains intact.  [See also break signal].

---J---

jack - The small plastic box that your phone cord connects to on

your wall.

jump - A command used on some BBS's to go from one board or

section on a BBS to another.

jumper - This is a piece of plastic and metal that can be moved

on an internal modem to change a setting, such as the COM port to

be used.  [See also selectable COM port].

---K---

K - When K is placed after a number, it means 1024 times that

number.  If you computer has 640K that means that it has a little

more than 640,000 bytes of memory.  Often communications software

will tell you that you have a certain amount of free memory to

use as a buffer.

Kermit protocol - An almost error-free file transfer protocol

usually used for text transfers.  It was developed at Columbia

University.  [See also protocol].

keyboard macro - A macro that will allow you to hit one or sever-

al keys and have the program act as though you had typed a lot

directly from the keyboard.  [See also macro].

kill - When referring to a message on a bulletin board, it means

deleting that message from the board.  Usually you can only

delete the messages that you write (unless you are a SysOp).

---L---

LAN - Local Area Network.  This is a group of computers that are

all connected.  Usually, there is one computer that controls all

peripherals (such as printers and a hard disk drive).  The other

computers are linked to the controlling computer, which lets the

other computers take turns using the peripherals.  [Same as

computer network].

LAPB - Link Access Procedure Balanced.  This is a form of error

control found in X.32 packet switched networks.

LAPM - Link Access Procedure for Modems.  A type of error control

used by some modems.  It is included in the V.42 protocol

(V.42bis also includes it, since V.42bis includes all V.42 error

control methods).  It is NOT a compression method, even though

some modem manufacturers have incorrectly advertised it as such.

[See also V.42, error control].

leased line - A telephone line that directly connects two comput-

ers.  It is usually rented from the telephone company.  A leased

line doesn't have many of the electronic restrictions that a

dialup line has, so data can be sent faster.  However, data

therefore can only be sent between those two computers.  [Compare

to dialup line].  [Same as private line].

LED indicators - The lights on external modems that indicate

conditions such as speed, RD, DCD, etc.

leech - A person who downloads a lot from a BBS, and does not

contribute much to the BBS by uploading programs or using the

message bases.

left-brace - The character {.  It's not used often.

left-bracket - The character [.

letter - [1] The characters A-Z (uppercase or lowercase)  [2]

Another term for a message posted on a BBS.

LF - Line Feed.  This is a control character (ASCII 10) that is

used on some computers and printers to move down one line (on the

screen or paper).  It is usually used right after a carriage

return.  [See also return].

LHARC - A program that will extract archives with the extension

"LZH".  [See also archive, LZH].

line - [1] A row of characters on your screen, for example, many

computers have screens with 25 lines.  [See also columns].  [2]

The connection between your computer and a BBS.  Most commonly

used in the term "line noise."  [3] A phone line connected to a

BBS.  For example, a BBS might advertise that it has "4 lines,"

meaning that 4 people can call the BBS and use it at the same

time.  [Same as node].

line delay - See delay time.

linefeed - See LF.

line noise - This is interference on the telephone lines.  It

will cause a character or many characters of garbage to appear on

your screen.  In general, the higher the bps rate of your modem,

the more line noise will appear.  However, error control proto-

cols strive to eliminate line noise (and get rid of most of it).

[See also error control].

link access procedure - See LAPM, LAPB.

local - On a computer that is running a BBS, there are 1 or more

phone lines connected to it.  However, the SysOp can usually use

the BBS, too, from the keyboard.  This is considered a local

connection.

local analog loopback - Tests the connection between a modem and

the computer.  [See also local digital loopback].

local area network - See LAN.

local call - A phone call to a phone number in your local area,

which will not incur long distance charges.  [See also long

distance call].

local digital loopback - Tests the connections between a comput-

er, the modem, the phone line, and the remote computer.  [See

also local analog loopback].

local echo - This is when a communications program will send

information (either that you type or from a file) to your screen,

as well as to the other modem.  Usually local echo is not used,

and the BBS you are connected to will send the information back

to you, and only then will the communications program print what

you typed on your screen.

local number - The phone number used after a country code, area

code and/or a city code.  In the United States, it is 7 digits

long.

log - A log is a file that keeps track of some kind of use.  In a

communications program, it might keep track of what BBS's you

call.  A BBS can keep a user log, which is a file that indicates

which users called up and when.  [See also user log].

logic bomb - This is part of a software program that will do

something malicious.  For example, the author of a BBS program

might have the program set up so that if he enters his initials

in a certain point while the program is running, it will destroy

all of the files on the BBS.  These are no longer as common as

they used to be.

logoff - To leave a BBS.  When you choose to logoff, the BBS will

usually ask if that's what you really want to do, then it will

hangup.  It may also ask if you want to leave a note to the

SysOp.  [Same as exit, quit, goodbye].

logon - The process of connecting to a BBS.  The is what occurs

after you have called the computer and the phone starts to ring,

but before you actually start using the BBS.  "Logon" can also

include the process of entering your name and password (which is

also called sign-on).  [See also signon].

long distance call - A telephone call that is outside your local

calling area, and that you must pay for.  [See also local call].

lowercase - The letters that are normally used, such as in this

sentence.  The other kind of letters are UPPERCASE.  [See also

uppercase].

lurk - This is a term used on some CB simulators, which means

that the person is leaving his computer for a while (and there-

fore will not be able to respond to messages).

LZH - This file extension refers to an archive that was com-

pressed with the program LHARC.  You need to get the program

LHARC from a BBS before you can un-archive the file.  [See also

archive, unarchive, LHARC].

---M---

macro - A series of instructions or text that can be entered by

hitting a couple of keys.  For example, a communication program

might let you enter your user name and password just by hitting

CTRL-N.  [See also trigger character].

mainframe - A large computer that many people can use at the same

time.  Usually, a mainframe computer is owned by a large company,

and it has a lot of memory and storage for its users.  Some

mainframes have phone lines connected to them so that employees

(or other authorized people) can use the mainframe from home.

make/break pulse ratio - During pulse dialing, the make/break

pulse ratio is the ratio of the time that the phone is off the

hook to the time the phone is on the hook.  In America and Cana-

da, it should be 39/61.

manual-syncing driver - This is what a BBS uses if the BBS pro-

gram can not determine directly what the user's bps rate is, and

the user must hit the return key several times before the BBS can

figure out the user's speed.

mark - When you are looking at the titles of messages to read,

some BBS programs will allow you to choose certain ones you want

to read.  This is called marking.

mark bit - A bit that is set to 1.  [See also space bit].

mark parity - This is when the parity bit is always set to a

binary 1.  [See also parity bit, format].

maximum string length - In V.42bis data compression, this refers

to the maximum length of data (in characters) represented by one

word.  It can range from 6 to 250 characters, although it is

usually 32.

menu - A list of options that you can choose from.  A BBS might

have a menu that lets you choose from reading messages, download-

ing, or logging off.  In reality, there would be many more op-

tions.

message - Any text that is left in a message base on a BBS.

These can range from questions for other users to answer, to

information on new computer programs, to just about any topic you

could imagine.

message base - A group of messages on a BBS pertaining to a

certain topic.  For example, a BBS might have message bases for

general messages, computer-related messages, and social informa-

tion.  Some BBS's have dozens or even hundreds of message bases.

[Same as subboard, board].

minicomputer - A scaled-down version of a mainframe.  A minicom-

puter usually has many terminals connected to it, and can run

many programs at the same time.  It is more powerful than a

microcomputer.

MNP - Microcom Networking Protocol.  A type of error control and

data compression, created by Microcom, that many newer modems

use.  It is built into the modem, unlike software error correc-

tion in file transfer protocols.  There are different MNP levels.

Levels 1-4 are error control protocols, and level 5 is a data

compression protocol that can compress data to about 50% of its

original size.  A modem with MNP-5 also has MNP-4.  MNP 1-4 is

also included in the CCITT V.42 error correction system.

MNP direct mode - This is a mode used on modems with the MNP

protocols, where the speeds from the modem to the remote modem

and to the computer are the same.  Also, there is no buffering,

and no flow control.  [Same as direct mode].  [See also MNP

normal mode].

MNP normal mode - This is the more common mode used with modems

that have MNP capability, where the speed from the computer to

the modem can be higher than the connection between the modem and

the remote modem.  This mode uses buffering to prevent lost data.

[Same as normal mode].  [See also MNP direct mode].

mode - The state that a computer or a program is in.  For exam-

ple, a computer can be in a text mode, and a communications

program can be in a chat mode (which operates differently than

the normal mode).

modem - MODulator/DEModulator.  This is a computer peripheral

which allows a computer to communicate over telephone lines.

This is the heart of computer telecommunications.  The main

factor that differentiates modems is their speed, measured in

bps.

modem ready - See DSR.

modify - See edit.

modular cord - A standard telephone cord, with a modular plug at

either end.  [Same as modular line.  [See also modular jack,

modular plug].

modular jack - The square hole in which you put telephone cord

(that has a modular plug).  [See also modular cord, modular plug,

42A block].

modular line - See modular cord.

modular plug - The square piece of plastic at the end of a tele-

phone cord.  It plugs into a modular jack.  [See also modular

cord, modular jack].

modulate - When a modem changes information from computer bits

into tones that can be transmitted over the phone lines.  Differ-

ent methods of modulation are PSK, FSK, and FDM.  [See also

demodulate, PSK, FSK, FDM].

modulation scheme - The method that a modem uses to modulate

data.  [See also PSK, FSK, FDM].

MTA - Message Transfer Agent.  This is what moves data across a

network under the X.400 electronic mail system.  [See also

X.400].

multiple-speed - This refers to a modem that can operate at

several speeds.  Most modems are capable of doing this.  While a

modem may be listed as having a speed of 2400bps, it most likely

also can operate at 1200bps and 300bps.

multiple-state modulation - A modulation scheme that sends more

than one bit per baud.

multi-line BBS - A BBS that has more than one line or node.  [See

also line].

---N---

NAK - This control character (CTRL-U) is sometimes used by commu-

nications or BBS programs (usually in file transfers) to indicate

that the information it received was bad.  NAK stands for Nega-

tive AcKnowledgement.  [See also ACK].

negotiation scheme - See feature negotiation.

network - A group of BBS's that are "linked" together.  This

means that the BBS's share messages and sometimes files.  Usually

the BBS's will call each other late at night to get the messages

and files.  [See also echomail].

new user - When you use a BBS, usually you will have the status

of new user for the first few calls, until the SysOp verifies

your account (at which time you will normally be considered a

registered user).  A new user usually has less privileges, such

as not being able to download programs.

news - Some BBS programs will have announcements that are shown

when you log on to the BBS.  These are often referred to as news,

since they often inform you of changes to the BBS.  [Same as

system news].  [See also sign-on message].

next - A command in BBS programs that will let you view the next

message in the message base.

node - See line.

noise - See line noise.

noise level - See noise power.

noise power - The "loudness" or strength of noise on a phone

line.  It is measured in -dBm's.  [See also signal power].

non-destructive backspace - This is when a communications program

will not delete any characters on the screen when the backspace

key is pressed.  [See also destructive backspace].

non-volatile memory - This is memory that many modems have which

is not destroyed when the power is turned off.  Using this memo-

ry, you can store a certain configuration in the memory, and have

the modem automatically use the configuration when you turn it

on.

normal mode - See MNP normal mode.

null character - The ASCII character 0, or CTRL-@.  This charac-

ter usually will not be printed on the screen.  It was originally

used when communications programs were slower and could not

receive information as fast as it was sent, so BBS programs would

send these characters after every line to slow down the speed at

which information had to be received.

null modem - A special connection between two computers that will

make the computers think that they are hooked up to a modem, so

that the two computers can communicate with each other.

numeric result codes - These are result codes that are printed as

numbers, rather than words.  [See also result codes, verbal

result codes].

---O---

odd parity - This indicates that the parity bit is always set so

that the sum of the bits set to 1 in a byte, plus the parity bit,

is an odd number.  [See also parity, format].

off hook - The state that your telephone is in when you pick it

up.  In non-computer life, it usually means when the telephone

connection is accidentally disconnected, such as "Someone must

have left the phone off the hook."  A modem that takes the phone

"off hook" is taking control of the phone line, and it will

usually then dial a phone number for you.  When a telephone line

is "off hook," you are not able to receive calls from other

people, unless you have call waiting.  [See also on hook].

off hook button - This is the button on a real telephone that is

depressed when you put down the receiver.  It signals the phone

company when your phone is off hook, and ready to place calls.

off line - When your computer is not connected to another BBS.

[See also on line].

on hook - When your telephone is not being used, and it is ready

to ring if someone calls.  [See also off hook].

on-line - When your computer is connected to a BBS.  For example,

some communications programs will keep track of how long you have

been on line.  This lets you know how long you have been connect-

ed to the BBS.

on-line conference - This is when a group of people "get togeth-

er" and have a conference using their computers.  Some of the

major on-line services do this.  [Same as real-time conference].

on-line games - Any game that is played on a BBS.  Sometimes they

are played in real time against other players who are using the

BBS at the same time, and sometimes they are played by making a

move and waiting for their opponent(s) to make their move when

they next call.  [See also Role Playing Game].

on-line information service - Any on-line service that provides

information.  Most commercial systems fall into this category.

[See also on-line service].

on-line mode - See data mode.

on-line service - While this can refer to any computer that is

hooked up to the phone line, it usually means a pay service such

as Compuserve or GEnie.  [Same as on-line system].  [See also

on-line information service].

on-line system - See on-line service.

originate - To call another computer and connect to it.  The

originating computer is the one that placed the telephone call

(as opposed to the BBS, which is the answering computer).

originate-only modems - Some older modems only operate using an

originate frequency, which means that if you try calling one, you

must change your modem to send an answer tone.  This can be done

on many modems by typing ATDT, the phone number you want to call,

and then the letter R (before hitting return).

originating computer - The computer which dials another computer.

This is most likely referring to your computer (unless you have a

BBS, or other people are calling your phone number, and you have

your computer's modem answer the phone).  [See also answering

computer].

originate frequency - This is the frequency of the carrier that

is used by the modem that places a call to another modem.  [See

also answer frequency].

originate mode - This is when a modem is ready to place a call,

rather than accept an incoming call.  [See also answer mode].

---P---

packet - [1] A group of bits sent by a modem that comprise a byte

of information.  [2] A group of bytes sent by a file transfer

protocol.

packet switching network - A telecommunications service that

transmits data from one computer to another using packets of

data.  They usually have telephone numbers in most areas of the

country so that users can connect to on-line services without

toll charges.

pad - This happens when a file that is being transferred ends in

the middle of a block of data.  The communications program must

add blank data to fill up the block.  This is called padding.

[See also protocol].

PAD - Packet Assembler/Disassembler.  This is a device that

disassembles incoming packets, and assembles outgoing packets.

page - [1] (noun) A page is one screen's worth of information.

Many BBS's will automatically wait for you to press a key after

it has sent you a page of information. [2] (verb) to alert the

SysOp that you would like to speak with him.  Many BBS's will

allow you to do this, and it will make beeping sounds so that the

SysOp will know you want to talk to him.  [Same as yell].  [See

also chat].

PAK - [1] The extension for files archived with the program of

the same name.  You need the program PAK to un-arc an archive

with this extension.  [2] The program itself.  [See also archive,

unarchive].

parallel - This is when a computer sends data one byte (or any

number of bits other than one) at a time.  This is faster than

the alternative, serial.  [See also serial].

parallel interface - Any interface that transmits or receives

more than one bit at a time.  In most cases, 8 bits are trans-

ferred at a time.  The RS-232C standard involves a parallel

interface.  [See also serial interface].

parity bit - Most modems have the capability to send an extra bit

for every byte sent, which is used to help sense errors.  This is

called the parity bit.  It can be set to no parity, mark parity,

space parity, odd parity or even parity.  Most BBS's do not use a

parity bit.  [See also format, mark, space, odd, even].

password - A special code that only you should know.  This code

will allow you to gain access to your account on a computer.

Different BBS's have different rules as to how long your password

can be and what characters can be used.  You should not use a

password that is easy to guess (such as your name, or

"password"), because a hacker might try to gain access to your

account by guessing your password.

pause - On most modems, you can send the modem a command that

will pause at some point while dialing a number.  This can be

useful on PBX systems, if you have to wait for a dial tone.

PBX - Private Branch Exchange.  This is the telephone system that

many offices have, allowing extensions for each telephone, and a

connection to the main telephone system.

PC-Pursuit - A packet switching network that allows people to

save money on long distance calling, if they use modems.

phase shift keying - See PSK.

phone number - A number identifying a specific phone line.  In

the United States, a phone number consists of a 3 digit area code

and a 7 digit number.  If you call BBS's in other countries,

there may be a specific country code and city code that is part

of the phone number.  You can find many of these codes in a phone

book.  A BBS will usually ask you to tell it your phone number

before you can be a registered user.

phreaker - A person who spends a lot of time trying to find out

as much as possible about the telephone company, and how it

works.  They often try to find out ways to make long distance

calls for free.  Some steal calls from telephone credit card

users, some steal calls from the phone company directly, and

others don't make "free" long distance calls.  They are sometimes

confused with hackers.  [See also hacker].

pick up - To pick up a carrier is when the 2 modems recognize

each other's signals over a phone line.  After this point the two

computers can communicate.

ping-pong - A 9600bps and 4800bps protocol developed by Hayes.

It features fast turnaround.

pins - The ports on the back of your computer and an external

modem will have pins.  Each pin has a certain function, such as

letting the computer know that the modem is online.  The pins

from a computer's port and the modem are connected by a cable.

PKARC - The program which will make an archive with the extension

"ARC".  [See also archive, unarchive, ARC].

PKUNZIP - The program which will un-arc a file that has the

extension ZIP.  [See also unarchive, archive, ZIP].

PKXARC - The program which will un-arc an archive created with

PKARC.  [See also unarchive, archive, ARC].

PKZIP - The program which will create an archive with the exten-

sion "ZIP".  It is one of the most popular archive programs.

[See also archive, unarchive, ZIP].

pocket modem - An external modem that is small enough to be

easily portable.  It usually either uses a battery for power, or

it can get its power from the phone line.

poll - [verb] The process when a computer checks to see whether a

peripheral or another computer has data to send.  [noun] See

vote.

post - To save a message that you have written on a BBS so that

other people can see it.  [Same as leave message].

private - When referring to a message, it means that only a

specific person or several people that you specify can view the

message.  [See also public].

private branch exchange - See PBX.

private line - See leased line.

privileged - Some BBS's have a privileged user level, where the

user can do more than a regular user.  For example, they may be

able to download more programs than regular users.  [See also

user level].

profanity filter - Some BBS's have a special function that will

take out specified words (usually swears) from messages that

people leave.  That way, the BBS will automatically keep itself

"clean," even if users try to leave swears in their messages.

prompt - A character or group of characters that are meant to

remind the user of a BBS that he needs to enter some information.

It might say "What now?" or it might list the name of the message

base the user is currently in, or a list of possible commands.

protocol - [1] When referring to file transfers, a protocol is a

method of sending and receiving a program.  There are many meth-

ods available, each with different advantages and disadvantages.

[See also upload, download, Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, Kermit].  [2]

Protocol is also used to describe the way that hardware error

control is managed.  [See also error control].

PSK - Phase Shift Keying.  In this method of modulation/demodula-

tion, there are two frequencies used (usually 1200 hertz and 2400

hertz).  There are 4 different phase angles (0, 90, 180, and 270

degrees), representing dibits 00, 01, 10, and 11.  This is usual-

ly used for 1200bps transmission.  Note that the baud rate using

PSK is really 1/2 of the bps rate, since 2 bits are sent at a

time instead of one.  [See also modulation].

PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network.  This is the regular

phone lines that just about everybody uses.

public - When referring to a message, it means that the message

is available for everyone to see.  [See also private].

public domain - A program that is in the public domain usually

has no copyright, and can be copied legally by anybody.  BBS's

often have public domain software available for people to down-

load.  [See also shareware, freeware, commercial software, ban-

nerware].

public messaging - A fancy term that means to read and/or leave

messages in a message base.

public switched telephone network - See PSTN.

pulse dialing - A method that some phones use to dial numbers.

It involves a series of "clicks."  Most modems support this type

of dialing, which is the only type available in some remote

areas.  The other method of dialing is tone dialing.  [See also

tone dialing].

---Q---

quickscan - An option used by some bulletin board programs which

will let you check several message bases to see if there are any

new messages.  [See also global scan].

quit - See logoff.

---R---

rack mounted modems - Some multi-line BBS's use rack mounted

modems, so that the modems can be easily and safely stored.

raw speed - The speed at which a modem can actually transmit

data, before compression or other factors.  [See also effective

transfer rate].

RD - Receive Data.  This is the wire in an RS-232C cable that

receives data.

real-time conference - See on-line conference.

receive - To transfer information from another computer to your

computer.  To receive a file is the same as downloading the file.

[See also send].

receive data LED - On external modems, this LED will light up

when the modem is receiving data.  [See also LED indicators].

receive level - The "loudness" of the sound that is received by a

modem.  It is measured in -dBm's.  A modem will have a certain

range which it can understand, for example, -33dBm to -9dBm.

[See also equalization].

receive sensitivity - See carrier detect threshold.

register - A location in memory that stores a value which refers

to something specific.  This value can be changed.  For example,

most modems have a register that holds a number which tells the

modem how many rings it should wait for before picking up the

phone.

registered user - This is the most common user level on most

BBS's.  It usually allows reasonable usage of the BBS (perhaps it

will give you a time limit of 45 minutes per day, and let you

download up to 200K of programs per day).  [Same as regular

user].  [See also user level].

regular user - See registered user.

reliable link - A connection that is "error-free," meaning that

an error control protocol is being used.  [See also auto-reliable

link].

remote - A computer in a different location.  For a BBS, the user

is at a remote location (since they are connected by the phone

line, and not right there).  For a user, the BBS is at a remote

location.

request to send - See RTS.

reread - After a message is sent to your computer from a BBS, the

reread command will send the message again.  This can be useful

if the message is long, and you miss part of it.

reset - A modem can be reset.  This will change any options (such

as parity and speed) to the values that they have when the modem

is first used.  This can be useful if you change some values for

the modem and aren't sure what they do, and then you find that

the modem won't work.  Resetting the modem will fix everything

for you.

response format - The way that a modem sends certain information

to the computer.  It can either be verbal (such as "BUSY" or "NO

CARRIER"), or it can be numeric ("7" or "3").

response time - How long it takes for the computer or modem to

respond to a certain condition.  For example, a carrier detect

response time of 10ms means that it takes the modem 10 millisec-

onds to figure out that there is a carrier.

result codes - These are either numbers or words that the modem

sends to the communications program (which will usually print

them on the screen for you to see) that indicate how the modem

responded to an action you requested.  For example, if you tell

the modem to dial a number, it may respond with "CONNECT 1200",

which is a result code that means that the computer dialed the

number and connected to a computer on the other end.  [See also

numeric result codes, verbal result codes].

retrain - Some modems have the capability of monitoring the phone

line to "see" how good the connection is.  If the line quality is

poor, these modems can "retrain"--they change their equalization

so as to better accommodate the lines.  [See also equalization].

retransmit - To transmit information that was previously sent.

Whenever an error is encountered, retransmitting the data will

fix the problem.

return - ASCII character 13.  This is the key marked "RETURN" or

"ENTER".  It will advance the cursor to the next line.  On some

printers, it will just move the print head to the left hand side,

and the printer then needs a linefeed to move to the next line.

[Same as carriage return, <CR>].

reverse - When you are in a message base, you may find this

command which will allow you to read messages is backwards order

(from newest to oldest messages).

reverse mode - When a modem switches the signals it should send.

For example, in reverse mode, a modem that dials another computer

will act as though it just received the call.  Some modems only

let you dial out (they do not accept calls).  In order to call

one of these modems, you would have to set your modem to reverse

mode, and then call the computer.

RI signal - See ring indicator signal.

right brace - The character }.

right bracket - The character ].

ring - When someone calls you on the telephone, the sound that

your phone makes is called a "ring."  Also, when you call someone

(or a computer), it will ring before they pick it up.  This

indicates that the number is not busy, but nobody has picked up

the phone yet.

ringback - The sound that you hear over the phone that indicates

that the phone is ringing on the other end, and not busy.  It

sounds a lot like a phone actually ringing.

ringing indicator LED - This is an LED on some external modems

that lights up when the phone is ringing.  [See also LED indica-

tors].

ring indicator signal - This is the line on an RS-232C cable that

indicates that the phone is ringing.

RJ-11 - This is a normal phone jack.  Modems usually have 2 jacks

like this, one to connect to the phone line, and the other to

connect to a telephone (that you can use when the modem isn't

being used).

RPG - See Role Playing Game

Role Playing Game - Some computers don't act as places to leave

messages or programs, but instead let you play a game.  On these

computers, you have a character and call up the computer to move

around in a world with other characters (other people who call

up), and you interact with them (for example, you may try to kill

the character).  [Same as RPG].  [See also on-line games].

rotary - A phone that dials with the pulse method.  [See also

pulse dialing, tone dialing].

RS-232 - The name of a specific type of port on the back of some

computers, or peripherals such as modems.  It has 9 or 25 pins.

[See also RS-232C].

RS-232C - The name of a standard (created by the Electronics

Industry Association) for communication between a computer and a

serial device.  The interface consists of 25 wires, although a

variation contains 9 wires.  Computers and peripherals which both

have an RS-232 port can be connected easily with an RS-232C

cable.

running - Working.  If a BBS is running, then it is working

correctly and people can call it.  [See also down].

RTS - Request To Send.  This is when the computer tells the modem

that it wants to send information to the other computer.  It is

only used in half duplex mode.  [See also flow control, CTS].

---S---

S register - A type of register that modems use.  [See also

register].

scan - To look through messages or file descriptions to either

find new messages or files or look for certain key words within

the messages or descriptions.

screen width - The number of characters that a computer can

display on one line.  On most modern computers, it is 80 columns.

[Same as video width].  [See also columns].

script language - Many communications programs allow the user to

write a program, or script, which allows them to use the communi-

cations program without actually typing anything.  It is often

used to call BBS's late at night to download programs or look for

new messages.  This way, the user does not have to be there when

the communications takes place.

scripting language - See script language.

sector - A unit to measure storage space.  It usually refers to

256 bytes.  It is rarely used any more.

security level - Some BBS programs have different user levels,

usually numbered, which allow different levels of access.  For

example, 0 might refer to an unregistered user, 10 a registered

user, and 99 for the SysOp.  Each has different levels of access

on the BBS.  [Similar to user level].

selectable COM ports - On internal modems for IBM compatible

computers, this allows you to change something on the modem

(usually a jumper or DIP switch) to allow you to change which COM

port the modem will be connected to.  [See also COM port, jumper,

DIP switch].

selftest - The ability of a modem to test itself to make sure it

is functioning properly.

send - To transfer information from one computer to another.  To

send a file is called uploading the file.  [See also receive].

one bit at a time.  Contrast this to parallel.  [See also paral-

lel].

serial interface - An interface that transmits only 1 bit at a

time.  [See also parallel interface].

This information usually includes screen width, whether or not

you want hot-keys, and other miscellaneous information.

shareware - Programs that can be distributed freely, but you must

pay for these programs if you use them.  They usually allow you

to try them for a specified period of time and then you must

either pay for the program or get rid of it.  Many BBS's have

shareware programs that you can download without paying the BBS,

but you must remember that if you use a shareware program you are

supposed to pay for it.  [See also public domain].

shell virus - A virus which places itself either before or after

a program on a disk or in memory.  It can be easy to detect such

a virus, since the length of the program will be longer after the

virus hits than it was before.  [See also virus].

SIG - Special Interest Group.  This is similar to a message base,

but it may also contain files.  It is generally used on large

services, such as CompuServe.  [See also SIGop].

SIGop - SIG OPerator.  The coordinator of a SIG.  This person is

responsible for checking messages to make sure that they pertain

to the topic of the SIG.  [See also SIG].

signal power - The loudness or strength of what a modem sends

over the phone line.  It is measured in -dBm's.  [See also noise

power].

sign-off message - A message that is displayed when you log off a

BBS.  Often the message will include the numbers of other BBS's,

and in some cases the BBS will allow you to leave a message for

the next user to call the BBS.

sign-on - The procedure of letting a BBS know who you are.  This

involves giving the computer information such as you user number,

name, password, and sometimes even phone number.  [See also

logon].

sign-on message - A message that is displayed by a BBS after you

sign on.  Often news about the BBS will go here.  On some BBS's

you can leave a sign-on message for the next caller.  [See also

news].

simplex - See half duplex.

smart modem - Originally the brand name of a modem, it refers to

a modem which has capabilities which make it 'smart'.  Most

modems now sold are considered smart.  Basically, it means that

the modem has many features.  [See also dumb modem].

smart terminal - A terminal that is capable of certain editing

features.  [See also terminal, dumb terminal, terminal

emulation].

space bit - A bit set to zero.

space parity - This is when the parity bit is always set as a

binary 0.  [See also parity bit, format].

special interest group - See SIG.

speed - This refers to the bps rate of a modem.  The most common

modem speeds are 300bps, 1200bps, 2400bps, and 9600bps.  [See

also effective transfer rate].

stand-alone modem - See external modem.

stand-alone program - A program, usually that allows you to do

file transfers, that is separate from your comm program, but can

be called by it.

start bit - This framing bit indicates that the data byte will be

following.  It is always a binary 0.  [See also format, framing

bits].

statistics - Any information that a BBS keeps on its users.  Some

BBS's keep track of how many messages a user posts, how many

programs the user uploads or downloads, and even how many times

the user calls.

stats - See statistics.

status line - In communications programs, sometimes the bottom

line of the screen will contain a status line, which has informa-

tion such as the speed of the modem, the parity, how long you

have been connected to a BBS and other such information.

status lights - See LED indicators.

stop bit - When a modem sends a byte of data, it usually sends

one or two framing bits after the data byte, before the next byte

is sent.  These bit(s) are called stop bits.  They are always a

binary 1.  [See also format, framing bits].

streaming - When a file transfer protocol sends data continuous-

ly, without waiting to make sure there are no errors.  A stream-

ing protocol should check for errors, but if an error occurs the

file transfer should be stopped.  A streaming protocol should

only be used with modems that have hardware error control.  [See

also Ymodem-g, protocol].  [Same as full flow].

streaming Ymodem - See Ymodem-g.

STU-III - Secure Telephone Unit, generation III.  This is a

system used by the government that makes voice and data calls

much more secure.

subboard - See message base.

subject - Most BBS's require that you leave a short description

about any messages that you post on the BBS.  This description is

referred to as the subject of the message.  [Same as title].

subop - A term used for the operator of a subboard.  Some BBS's

allow a person besides the SysOp to control a specific message

base.  This person would be able to kill any messages that he/she

felt were inappropriate.

synchronous communication - With synchronous communication, data

bytes are not marked with a beginning and end, but instead are

sent at a specific interval.  When computers send data to modems,

it is synchronous communication.  When modems send the informa-

tion they get from the computer, the modem usually will add start

and stop bits to identify the bytes.  That is asynchronous commu-

nication.  [See also asynchronous communication].

SysOp - Short for SYStems OPerator.  This is the person who is in

charge of a BBS.  He has the power to change anyone's user level,

delete users, delete or edit messages.  Usually this is the same

person who paid for the BBS equipment and pays for the phone

line.  [See also Co-SysOp].

SysOp window - Some BBS programs have an area of the computer

screen (on the computer that the BBS runs on, not the user's

screen) that gives information about the user who is on-line,

such as his password, where he is from and his phone number.

This is called the SysOp window, and is for the convenience of

the SysOp.  [Similar to top of screen display].

system - [1] Your computer.  When a BBS asks for your system

configuration, it is referring to information about your comput-

er, such as screen width.  [2] A BBS.

system files - Any computer files that are used by an operating

system, or in the case of BBS's, files that are used by the BBS

program that do not get changed.

system news - See news.

---T---

tab - The key on your keyboard that will move the cursor forward

about 5 spaces.  It is not an ASCII character (it is similar to a

function key, since it does not output a single character).

talk mode - See voice mode.

TCM - Trellis Coded Modulation.  This is a form of error control

used on some modems.

TD - Transmit Data.  This is the wire in an RS-232C cable that is

used to transmit information.

Telco - Abbreviation for Telephone Company.

telecomm - Short for telecommunications.  See telecommunications.

telecommunication(s) - This word has no precise definition, but

is frequently used.  Its definition ranges from "any form of

communication over a distance" to "any communication by electric

means" to "two computers 'talking' to each other via modems."

Methods of communications that probably are considered telecommu-

nications: BBS's, telephones, TV's and fax machines.  The word is

used both in singular and plural.

telecommuting - The idea of company employees working from home,

rather than their office.  At home, they can communicate with the

office (and other entities) by modem or voice calls.

Telenet - The packet-switched network that is used for PC-Pur-

suit, which is operated by U.S. Sprint.

term program - See terminal program.

terminal - A CRT and keyboard that are connected to either a

computer or a modem.  [See also smart terminal, dumb terminal].

terminal emulation - When a communications program can simulate

the operations of a smart terminal.

terminal mode - Some modems have a built in terminal program.  On

these modems, if that program is running, the modem is said to be

in its terminal mode.  It also refers to the state where a modem

is ready to accept commands, although command mode is the pre-

ferred term.

terminal program - A program that allows a person to use a modem.

It is generally very limited.  A communications program is a more

advanced version of a terminal program.  Usually a terminal

program will simulate a specific brand of terminal.  It generally

does not support file transfers.  [Also called term program].

terminate - To disconnect with another computer.  This is some-

times listed as a command in menus on BBS's.

text file - Any information that can be read, and is stored in a

computer file.  A text file can be any kind of information, such

as a description of a computer program.

thread - A group of related messages on a BBS, within the same

message base.  If a user posts a reply to a message, some BBS's

will start a thread.  If a message is part of a thread, the BBS

will have a command so that you can see the original message,

which started the thread.

throughput - See effective transfer rate.

tilde - The character ~.

time limit - Most BBS's have a time limit, where you can only be

on the BBS for a certain amount of time.  On some BBS's you can

only be on for a certain amount of time each time you call, on

others there is a limit of time that you can be on the BBS per

day.

time out - BBS programs often will disconnect a user if he

doesn't type anything for a certain amount of time.  Time out

occurs when the time limit is reached and the BBS program hangs

up on the user.  This is done so that users do not tie up the

BBS.  If a user is connected to the BBS but is not using it,

other callers might not be able to use the BBS.

timing signal - A signal sometimes sent by modems over the phone

line that lets the receiving modem know when a byte of informa-

tion starts.  It is required in synchronous communication.

title - See subject.

tone dialing - This is a method that a phone or modem can use to

dial a phone number.  It uses one audible tone per digit to be

dialed.  [See also pulse dialing].

top of screen display - Some BBS's have this display on the top

of the screen of the computer running the BBS.  This will show

the SysOp certain information about the user who is on-line, such

as his phone number, how many programs he has downloaded, etc.

[Similar to SysOp window].

touchtone dialing speed - The length of time that your modem

sends each touchtone digit over the phone lines.  It is the

equivalent to the length of time that you hold down the buttons

on a phone when you make a call.

transfer - To send a computer program from one computer to anoth-

er.  [See also download, upload, protocol].

transfer protocol - See protocol.

transmission rate - See data transmission rate.

transmission speed - See data transmission rate.

transmit data LED - This is an LED on an external modem that will

light when the modem is transmitting data over the phone line.

[See also LED indicators].

transmit level - The "loudness" level of the sound leaving a

modem to go over the phone lines.  It is measured in -dBm's.  It

should be different at different frequencies, since certain

frequencies have more loss over the phone line than others.  [See

also equalization].

trapdoor - This usually refers to a BBS program (or a mainframe

that you call up) that has a special code that can be entered to

give you high access.  Usually, it is entered as a user name and

password when logging on.  These are undocumented by the program,

and usually were created by the programmers so that they could

gain access to any computer running their BBS program.  Hackers

try to find trapdoors, but they are usually not created by hack-

ers.  (Some other kinds of software have trapdoors, such as video

games, which might have trapdoors to give you extra lives).

Trellis-coded modulation - See TCM.

trigger character - This is a character that, when pressed,

starts a macro.  [See also macro].

trojan horse - A trojan horse is a program within another pro-

gram, usually on a mainframe or a computer running a BBS.  The

original program looks innocent, but when run it will trigger the

trojan horse, which will usually try to gain access to the main-

frame computer system or BBS.

TTY - A TeleTYpe machine.  It is a keyboard and a printer com-

bined in one unit.  It is hooked up to another computer.

TTY mode - This is when a communications program emulates a TTY

machine, which only involves printing characters and recognizing

the linefeed, carriage return and backspace characters.  [See

also TTY].

two-wire leased line - See leased line.

Tymnet - A packet-switched network.

type-ahead buffer - Some BBS programs let you type characters to

the BBS, even while it is sending information to you.  When it is

finished sending the information to you, it will then act on the

information you sent.  The type-ahead buffer refers to the proc-

ess, and the space in the BBS computer's memory where the charac-

ters are held.

---U---

UA - User Agent.  It is the program that people use to create and

read messages under the X.400 system.  [See also X.400].

UART - Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter.  This is a

device in a computer or modem that will change serial data (the

way data comes in over the phone line) to parallel, and vice

versa.  [See also serial, parallel, 16550 UART, 8250 UART, 16450

UART].

un-arc - See unarchive.

unarchive - To take out the files from an archive.  [Same as

unarc].  [See also archive, extract, ARJ, ZIP, ARC, PAK, LZH].

unattended mode - This mode is available on some communications

programs.   It will let your computer wait for a telephone call

from another computer, and will let the person using that comput-

er access your computer (usually to download or upload programs).

It is called unattended because you don't have to wait for the

person to call, the program will automatically answer when some-

one calls.  [See also attended mode].  [Similar to host program].

underline character - The character _.

underscore character - Any character (although almost always the

underline character) that is used for underlining.  When this

method is used, the text to be underlined will be sent (usually

to a printer), and then backspaces will be sent, and then the

underscore character will be printed over the text, so it looks

like it is underlined.

upload - To send a program from your computer to a BBS.  [See

also download, protocol].

uppercase - Letters that are used for emphasis, as opposed to

regular lowercase letters.  CAPITAL letters are the same as

uppercase letters.  The first word in a sentence is in uppercase.

Some older computers were only capable of displaying uppercase

characters.

user - A person who uses a BBS.  For example, a BBS might claim

that it has 500 users, which means that there are 500 different

people who have called the BBS.

user level - The level of security which a user has.  This usual-

ly is in the form of word(s), usually progressing from: New User,

Registered User, Privileged User, SysOp Level.  [See also securi-

ty level].

user list - Most BBS programs will allow you to see a list of all

its users.  It will show the user's name, and often city and

state.  This is called the user list.  Rarely will it show any

phone numbers or more detailed information.

user log - A file on a computer running a BBS that lists which

users called, what time they called, and sometimes information as

to what they did while they were on the BBS.

user name - This is the name that a person uses on a computer

system.  Sometimes an alias is used, but it is more often the

user's real name or a variation of it.  [See also alias].

user number - A number that is used by some older BBS programs to

keep track of users.  On these BBS's, a user would have to remem-

ber a specific number as well as his password.  Most BBS's now

just use the person's user name instead, which is much easier for

a user to remember.  [Same as account number, ID number].

userfile - A file that a BBS program has that keeps track of all

users of the BBS and their statistics.

---V---

V.17 - The CCITT standard for fax transmission at 14,400bps.

V.21 - The international standard, created by CCITT, that con-

trols transmission at 300bps.  [See also 103].

V.22 - The international standard for transmission at 1200bps,

created by CCITT.  [See also 212A].

V.22bis - The international standard, created by CCITT, that

controls data transmission at 2400bps.

V.23 - The CCITT protocol for transmission of 1200bps one way,

75bps the other way.

V.24 - This, combined with V.28 is the CCITT standard equivalent

to EIA's RS-232C standard.  V.24/V.28 has 25 pins, just like the

original RS-232C standard.  [See also RS-232C].

V.28 - Part of V.24.  [See also V.24].

V.29 - The CCITT standard for 9600bps half-duplex communications.

V.32 - The international standard controlling transmission at

9600bps.  It was created by CCITT.  It has provisions for fall-

back, if the line is too noisy.

V.32bis - The international standard for 14,400 bps modems,

created by CCITT.

V.42 - A standard error control system created by CCITT that is

in use on many 9600bps modems and some 2400bps modems.  It in-

cludes LAPM, as well as MNP 2-4.  [See also error control, V.42

compatible, V.42 compliant].

V.42 compatible - This is a modem that follows all the V.42

specifications, except for LAPM error control (instead it uses

MNP).  [See also V.42].

V.42 compliant - This is a modem which follows all the V.42

specifications, and uses LAPM error control if possible.  Other-

wise, it will go to MNP error control.  [See also V.42].

V.42bis - A CCITT standard for data compression.  It can compress

data with about a 3:1 compression ratio, although it can compress

up to 4:1 given the right conditions.  Any modem with V.42bis

also has V.42 error control.  [See also data compression].

verbal result codes - These are result codes which are printed as

words, rather than numbers.  [See also result codes, numeric

result codes].

verify - This is when a SysOp makes sure that a new user is who

he or she claims to be.  The normal procedure is for the SysOp to

call up a new user, just to make sure that the phone number he

listed is real.  This is a way to make sure that the users are

less likely to abuse the system.  However, most SysOps do not

call new users, since it is time consuming.  Some SysOps will

look at the information the new user left just to make sure it

"looks" right (if the new user says his phone number is 555-1212,

the SysOp knows it is not real).  After verifying the user, the

SysOp will usually raise the user's user level.

verified user - Any user who has been verified by the SysOp.  It

is also used to refer to users who have access better than that

of new users.

video width - See screen width.

videotex - The idea of getting information by computer, over the

phone lines, and paying for it.  It is the computer version of

audiotex (900 numbers, voice mail, having computers call you).

virus - Any program which spreads itself secretly.  It reproduces

within a computer, and also will go to other computers if possi-

ble (through file transfers).  At a certain point in time, the

virus will do something (anything from saying "Boo" to something

destructive, such as erasing all files on a hard disk drive).

They are often hidden inside legitimate programs that seem to run

normally, but contain the virus.  It will usually spread to every

program you run.  Viruses became widespread because BBS's can

inadvertently spread virus all across the country.  Whenever you

download a program, it might have a virus in it.  However, there

are several programs available which find many viruses and can

destroy them.

voice detection - The ability of a modem to detect whether a

computer answers the phone, or whether it is a human voice.

voice grade - A telephone line that is designed to transfer human

voice.  This is the way most phone lines are set up.  However,

the phone company also has data grade lines, which are supposed

to make data communications better.  [See also data grade].

voice mail - An addition to some modems.  This allows the modem

to also answer incoming voice calls, send recorded (voice) mes-

sages to the caller, and let them leave a message.  [Same as

answering machine].

voice mode - Some older modems require the user to manually dial

phone numbers through a telephone.  When this is done, the modem

is in voice mode.  When the remote computer picks up the phone,

the user must switch his modem from voice mode to data mode.

[Same as talk mode].  [See also data mode].

vote - Some BBS's have this feature, which allows the SysOp to

find out user's preferences about things ranging from operation

of the BBS to political positions.  It is similar to a survey in

the non-computer world.  [Same as poll].

VT100 - A smart terminal, which is emulated by many communica-

tions programs.  It uses ANSI codes.  [See also ANSI].

VT52 - Another smart terminal, which is emulated by some communi-

cations programs.

---W---

window - A distinct area of a computer screen that contains

information different than the rest of the screen.  Sometimes it

covers other information 'underneath' the window (in which case

it is temporary), or it is permanent and does not contain other

information.  [See also SysOp window].

word wrap - A function of editors on BBS's (just like that found

in most word processors) which will move a word that won't fit at

the very right hand of the screen down to the next line.

worm - A program which embeds itself within another program.

Either it tries to find a space in which it won't be noticed, or

it will just stick itself anywhere within the main program (which

will ruin that program).  A worm is almost always destructive.

[See also virus].

---X---

X.25 - This is a packet-switching protocol developed by CCITT.

It is used to carry large amounts of data at fast speeds over

leased phone lines.  [See also X.32].

X.25 dialup - See X.32.

X.32 - This is CCITT's 1984 update of X.25, also known as X.25

dialup.  [See also X.25].

X.400 - This is the CCITT standard protocol for a global system

for the exchange of electronic mail.

X.500 - The CCITT standard for a directory of the users of the

X.400 system.  [See also X.400].

xfer - Short for transfer.  It usually refers to file transfers.

[See also upload, download].

Xmodem - A file transfer protocol developed by Ward Christensen

around 1977.  It is fairly slow by today's standards, but was the

first widespread file transfer protocol.  It uses blocks of 128

bytes, and after each block is sent, it sends a 1 byte checksum

to check for errors.  If an error is encountered, the block will

be re-sent.  Almost every communications program offers this

protocol.  [Same as Christensen protocol].  [See also protocol].

Xmodem/CRC - The same as Xmodem, but it has a 16-bit CRC instead

of the checksum, which makes it more reliable (it catches more

errors).  [See also protocol].

Xmodem-1K - This is similar to Xmodem/CRC, except it uses blocks

of 1024 bytes, rather than 128.  It is faster than Xmodem, since

it needs to stop less often to check for errors.  This is some-

times incorrectly called Ymodem.  [See also protocol, Xmodem,

Ymodem].

Xoff - The CTRL-S character.  This is often used to pause infor-

mation that is being sent.  The information will be continued

when an CTRL-Q is received.  [See also flow control, Xon].

Xon - The CTRL-Q character.  This will sometimes continue paused

information.  [See also flow control, Xoff].

Xon/Xoff - The flow control method using the Xon and Xoff charac-

ters.  It is built into the software, not the hardware.  [See

also Xon, Xoff, flow control].

---Y---

yell - See page (verb).

Ymodem - A file transfer protocol which can transfer more than

one file at a time.  It transfers both a file and some informa-

tion about the file (including its length, and the name of the

file).  It is similar to Xmodem/CRC, except that Ymodem can

transfer more than one file at a time.  It will use CRC-16 if

possible, or else it will use a 1 byte checksum.  It will use

both 1024 byte blocks and 128 byte blocks.  [See also protocol].

Ymodem-g - This is Ymodem changed to provide best results with

error-correcting modems.  Errors can be discovered by the proto-

col, since Ymodem-g uses CRC, but if there are any errors in the

transmission, the transmission will be aborted.  [See also Ymo-

dem, protocol, streaming].  [Same as streaming Ymodem].

---Z---

ZIP - The file extension which refers to archives that were

created by the program PKZIP.  You need the program PKUNZIP to

get the files out of the archive.  [See also archive, unarchive,

PKZIP, PKUNZIP].

Zmodem - A file transfer protocol which is known for its speed,

as well as the ability to transfer information about the files

which it sends.  It has crash recovery and auto-download fea-

tures, and can use a 32 bit CRC, which makes it almost error-

free.  [See also protocol].

            "What is this, why, and who is this guy?"

     I feel that this dictionary fills a major void.  In my years

of using BBS's, I have never seen such a dictionary.  The closest

thing I've seen was a text file that had about 40 words listed.

These words included "RAM" "ROM" "Microcomputer" "Telex" and a

bunch of other words that aren't really that important to under-

stand computer telecommunications.  I've seen some books about

"modeming" in bookstores, but they tend to be expensive ($15-

$49), and I don't recall seeing any dictionaries of terms relat-

ing to modems.  Also, many terms are easy to confuse and it can

be very difficult to find definitions for these terms.  I have

seen terms used incorrectly in advertisements by modem manufac-

turers and in many magazine articles.  I hope that this diction-

ary can be used as a good source of reference for confusing

terms.

     Why do I feel qualified to write a dictionary such as this?

I bought my first modem more than seven years ago and have been

using computers for twice as long.  Not only have I used many

different computers and modems, I have seen the days where

1200bps BBS's were rare and most people had 300bps modems.  For

about a year I ran my own BBS, which was quite successful at the

time.  While I only had about 150K of storage for messages and

files, I was able to get over 500 users in that year.  I have

also gathered, read, and searched through hundreds of text files,

program documentation and magazines, just to help define words

and find new words for this dictionary.  I have also spoken to

representatives of major companies to help find out the truth

behind the more confusing terms.

                           LEGAL STUFF

     This dictionary is provided with no warranty of any kind.

The author and/or distributor will not be liable for any conse-

quences resulting from the use of this information.  This is a

field where misconceptions abound.  Although to the best of our

knowledge all information is accurate, we can not guarantee its

accuracy.

                              NOTES

Note 1:  It was difficult to decide what words to include and

what words not to include.  I tried to include every term relat-

ing to computer telecommunications that the average user needs to

know, or might come across and be curious about.  Some words

(such as PSK) are easily found in manuals for modems, but are

hard to find definitions for.  I tried to include as many of

these as possible.

Note 2:  Since there are so many words defined here, and many of

them are complex and easily misunderstood, I wouldn't be sur-

prised if there are a couple errors of some sort.  I tried to be

as careful as I could, but it is possible that there may be some

mistakes.  If you notice any mistakes, or have suggestions of

words to add (or take out), feel free to write to me.  I'll

correct any mistakes in future versions.

improving it constantly.  That shows the commitment I have to

this dictionary.  Sending in your $5 registers you to use any

future versions of this dictionary, too.

                  "How do I reach the author?"

     I appreciate your input.  If you notice an error, or a word

that is not included, or have praise/complaints, feel free to

write to me.  I'm always looking to improve the dictionary.  Send

I hope you enjoy this dictionary!

                     Notes about the entries

                     ----- ----- --- -------

* [Also called <entry>] and [Same as <entry>] mean that there are

more than one word for a certain concept.  Do not bother looking

at <entry>, it will just refer you back to the original entry.

* [See also <entry>] at the end of a definition refers you to

more information or an entry that may help you understand the

original entry better.  Also, a word and it's opposite will often

refer to each another.

* [See <entry>] appearing directly after the term indicates that

the definition is the same as <entry>, and you should look there.

* BBS is used here generically to denote any service that you can

call up with your computer, whether it is a bulletin board, a pay

service, or even a mainframe.

* Some entries refer to computers in general, but an understand-

ing of them is sometimes needed to understand other entries.

                             HISTORY

Telecommunications Dictionary version 0.99:

     This was the first version available.  It was incomplete,

with about 150 words, only covering A-K.  But it was nice for

people not to have to wait another year to see part of it.  It

was released in 1989.  It was usually in a file called

"MODEMDIC".

Telecommunications Dictionary version 1.00:

     This was the first real version.  It had somewhere around

430 words defined in it.  It was released on August 15, 1991.  It

was sent out originally as "TDIC100" in a ZIP compressed format.

Telecommunications Dictionary version 1.10:

     This version had more than 530 words listed. Many words were

added, some extra information was added to some old words, and

several minor errors were corrected.  It was released on August

22, 1991 (I was very busy that week!).  It should be called

TDIC110.TXT, or if archived, TDIC110.ZIP (or whatever extension).

Telecommunications Dictionary version 1.20:

     This version was never completed.  It was an interim ver-

sion.  It updated about half the definitions existing in version

1.10, and minor inconsistencies were fixed.  Also, a few words

were added.  Not released to the public.

Telecommunications Dictionary version 1.21:

     Another interim version, not released to the public.  Last

modification in August, 1992.

The Modem Dictionary version 1.25:

     An interim version, just before 1.30.  The name was changed,

since the dictionary is specific to modems, which are just a small

portion of telecommunications.

The Modem Dictionary, version 1.30:

     This version is a major improvement over the last version

available publicly.

NASA SPACELINK BACKGROUND

NASA Spacelink runs on a Data General ECLIPSE MV-7800 minicomputer at

the NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

NASA Spacelink software was developed and donated to NASA by the Data

General Corporation. The system has a main memory of 14 megabytes (14

million characters), and disk storage space for 708 megabytes.  It runs

at 300, 1200 or 2400 baud.  Data word format is 8 data bits, no parity,

and 1 stop bit.  The system was made public in February, 1988.

Initial support for NASA Spacelink was provided by the Educational

Affairs Division at NASA Headquarters.  The NASA Spacelink data base is

maintained by the Public Services and Education Branch of the Marshall

Space Flight Center Public Affairs Office.  Operational support is

provided by the Information Systems Office at the Marshall Center.

Information on NASA scientific projects and educational programs is

provided to NASA Spacelink by education specialists at NASA Headquarters

and the NASA field centers.

While NASA understands that people from a wide variety of backgrounds

will use NASA Spacelink, the system is specifically designed for

teachers.  Unlike bulletin board systems, NASA Spacelink does not

provide for interaction between callers.  However, it allows teachers

and other callers to leave questions and comments for NASA.

The Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) is

a program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to enhance

the capability of ground-based instruments to measure the upper

atmosphere and to coordinate instrument and model data for the benefit

of the scientific community.  The CEDAR Data Base (formerly the

Incoherent Scatter Radar Data Base) was formed to collect and disburse

ground-based measurements of the upper atmosphere.  This is

international in scope with both foreign and United States data

suppliers and data users.  Some data users are students doing theses and

this is encouraged to provide more student partusers.

Any who are interested in finding out more about the CEDAR Data Base or

in getting any of the documentation described above are encouraged to

The Coastal Zone Color Scanner Browse Program was designed to provide a

researcher with the ability to quickly search the entire Level-2 CZCS

data set and to instantly view the color-coded phytoplankton pigment

fields that meet the search criteria. The browse images are displayed at

4km resolution which is generally sufficient to resolve most of the

features of interest. If the researcher feels that a selected scene

warrants further investigation, the program provides for the generation

of an order file which can be sent electronically to the NASA archive

where the digital data are copied and sent to the requestor.

 ASK fileserver (12/10/90)

ASK runs a fileserver, accesible by mail. The server is steadily

prepared for mail receipt, which is handled without assistance and

results in a reply to the sender. Usually ASK personnel is not required.

The ASK-server works -just like LISTSERV- with the wellknown

list-concept: Distinct subjects are defined as lists and are accessible

for the users.h the following subjects:

Today two lists exist wit

a) Public Domain Software (Name of the list: PDS)

Public Domain Software

This list helps to manage Public Domain Software, contributed by

university members. For the sake of convenient transport, the software

is available in a compressed form (ARC, UUE) and the user has to

uncompress it by himself. Of course, the corresponding transfer-programs

are available on the File- server.

ASK-Forum

The Forum "ASK" was installed to give the users the opportunity of

keeping well-informed about the ASK. To get new informations about SISY,

Fileserver or Software-award, the user has to register once (subscribe).

Then he will regularly get contributions, distributed by the forum via

mail.

Beside this passive use, the users also have the possibility to send

their own contributions like questions, suggestions, comments or

criticisms to the Forum. These will then  be sent to all other

registered users. Sending of own contributions is only possible when the

users are subscribed to the Forum. The contributions are collected and

saved and are available as monthly notices.

Using the fileserver

Before the description of the mail-commands is given, here is the

summary of the possibilities of using the fileserver:

- call for public domain software

- preparation of public domain software

- registering to participation in discussions

- introduction of own contributions

- handling of own discussion-themes with the ASK-Server

The Communication with the fileserver is effected by electronic mail.

The address is:   c=de; a=dbp; p=uni-karlsruhe; ou=ask; s=fileserv.

Answers to the mail are given mechanically, so a special command-syntax

is necessary. Only the real commands, standing in the subjectplace of a

mail or in the first line of the "body part" at an empty

____________________________________________________________________________

The data base consists of menu pages (for example the main menu) and

information pages. You normally get a page through av menu selection.

A page can have continuation pages which you can page through.

Here is a description of the most common functions and we start by

describing how to end a session with BASUN.

Function:                         Press:

End session and quit              PF1 and ".", or [ctrl] Z

Make a menu selection             Number and [return] or [enter]

Return to previous menu           PF3

Next page                         [return] or -] (right arrow)

Previous page                     [-- (left arrow)

If you dont have a VT100 emulating terminal (or a computer emulating

a VT100 terminal) you should read the next page to learn about PF3.

Function keys

PF1, PF2 and PF3 are functions of a VT100 terminal. We have choosen

VT100 as the default terminal for BASUN as most users have a terminal

or computer that behave like a VT100 terminal. You should look into

the manual of your terminal program to find out how to use these

function keys if your computer don't have keys marked PF1, PF2 and PF3.

If your terminal or computer don't know anything about VT100 you can

use the special functions by typing the following:

For PF1 you type [esc]OP, for PF2 you type [esc]OQ and for PF3 you

type [esc]OR. [esc] means that you should press the key that is

labeled Esc or Escape.

Here follows a description of some "advanced" functions.

Every page in the data base has a unique page number. There exist a

function that displays that page number. If you know the page number

you can directly jump to that page. With the same function you can also

do keyword searching. A page can have one or more keywords. The pages

with information about computers connected to DECnet, TCP/IP and EARN/

BITNET have the name of the computers as keywords. That means that you

directly can see that page through a keyword search.

Function:                       Press:

Display page number             PF1 and 4

Search for a page number or

search for a keyword            PF1 and 7

RIPE (Reseaux IP Europeens) is a collaborative organisation open to all

European Internet service providers. The objective of RIPE is to ensure

the necessary administrative and technical coordination to allow the

operation of a pan-European IP network. RIPE does not operate a network

of its own. RIPE is the IP activity of RARE.

RIPE has been functioning since 1989. Currently more than 60

organisations participate in the work. The result of the RIPE

coordination effort is that the individual end-user is presented on his

desk-top with a uniform IP service irrespective of the particular

network his or her workstation is attached to. Today more than 170.000

computers throughout Europe are reachable via networks coordinated by

RIPE. The total number of systems reachable worldwide is estimated at

more than 800.000.

Using Libertas

Describing Libertas presents an interesting problem.  Every Libertas system

has its own site specific menuing system that is different than every other

Libertas system.   In addtion, all of them are extremely easy to use.  For

these reasons, no instructions are provided in this guide.


Using LS/2000

LS/2000                 SEARCHING STYLES

The LS/2000 system offers two searching styles:

    Keyword -   Use this style when you are unsure of the exact term,

                author, name, or title that you wish to search.

                Enter a word or phrase and press RETURN

    Heading -   Use this style when you are sure of how the library

                describes the author, title, or subject that you are

                searching.

                Enter the number of the search you want to use, and when

                prompted, enter as much of the BEGINNING of the heading as

                you are sure of.

LS/2000           HOW TO ENTER SEARCH TERMS

For a specific TOPIC

  - you are unsure of library           Enter a KEY WORD you know

    terminology for the topic

  - you are certain of the library's    When prompted, enter

    subject heading                     the first word(s) of subject

                                        heading

For an AUTHOR

    When prompted enter the author's name Last, First

For an ORGANIZATION or GOVERNMENT AGENCY or CONFERENCE

    When prompted, enter the first word or words of the

    organization or conference name

For a TITLE

    When prompted, enter the first word or words of the title

LS/2000               SEARCHING HINTS

    -    Press RETURN after each entry.  This lets the LS/2000 system know

         that you are ready for it to begin work.

    -    Less is better than more.  The system will always show you all

         entries that begin with what you enter.  So if you enter "book"

         you will see any entries that begin with "Book" or "Books".

    -    The "^" key will take you one step backward in your search.

    -    When a list ends with "more", you may

         - Press RETURN to see the next part of the list

         - Enter "/B" to see the previous list.

Geographic Name Server

Telnet 141.212.99.9 3000

Geographic Name Server, Copyright 1989, 1990 Merit Inc.  All rights reserved.

>>> NEW VERSION!!! <<< Use "help" or "?" for details.

New version: Wed Mar 14 10:33:50 EST 1990

Change summary:

1) ZIP code queries now supported

2) ed(1)-style regular expression queries now supported

3) Query and session timeouts now enabled

4) Better query parsing, error messages

5) Response lines now terminated with CRLF instead of just LF

NOTE: This server is intended for use with clients which interpret

the raw protocol.  However, you may also use the server directly

if you don't have the clients.  There are currently four clients:

1) A user agent which pretty-prints the raw protocol and optionally

   computes distance and azimuth between any two cities,

2) A filter for producing input files for Brian Reid's netmap program,

3) A US map browser which uses the X Window System,

3) A prototype X-based network browsing tool.

Data came primarily from the US Geodetic Survey and the US Postal

Service. Coverage includes all US cities, counties, and states, as well

as some US mountains, rivers, lakes, national parks, etc. A few

international cities have also been included. Unfortunately, some minor

inaccuracies remain.  Merit Inc. is not responsible for maintaining this

data.

Queries should generally look like the last line of a postal address, as

in "Ann Arbor, MI 48103".

All these queries will also work:

1) ed(1)-style regular expression, like "[Bb]os.*n$"

2) A city name alone, like "Ann Arbor"

3) A ZIP or ZIP+4 code alone, like this: "46556", "48103-2112"

   NOTE: only the first 5 digits in a ZIP+4 code are used.

4) As in 1) or 2) but with a state name or abbreviation, like

   this: "Ann Arbor, MI", "Los Angeles, California"

5) As above but with optional nation name or abbreviation, like

   "Toronto, , Canada".  NOTE:  there are currently very few

   foreign cities.

Punctuation, white space, and upper/lower case are ignored.

Any reasonable state/nation abbreviations are recognized.

Here are more example queries:

"Ann Arbor, Mich" "48103" "annarbor,mi" "Paris,,France"

"Mammoth Cave National Park" "mount mckinley" "lake michigan"

If a query fails, try expanding abbreviations (e.g. change "Mt."

to "Mount", etc.

Interpret server replies as follows:

0 [city name]

1 [county FIPS code] [county name]

2 [state/province abbreviation] [state/province name]

3 [nation abbreviation] [nation name]

A [telephone area code]

E [elevation in feet above mean sea level]

F [feature code] [feature name]

L [latitude DD MM SS X] [longitude DDD MM SS X]

P [1980 census population]

R [remark]

T [time zone]

Z [postal ("ZIP") code]

To exit the server, enter "stop", "end", "quit", "bye",

"exit", "logout", "logoff", or control-D.

Direct questions or comments to Tom Libert, libert@eecs.umich.edu,

or phone (313) 936-3000.  Please let me know if you write new clients.

From July 1992, the NPDSA service run at Lancaster University has been joined

by the UNIX archive run at the University of Kent to form a new service: the

Higher Education National Software Archive (HENSA), which is available to the

whole of the Higher Education community.

At Lancaster, the service will be known as HENSA/micros, and will continue to

carry the same range of material as before. The University of Kent operation

will be known as HENSA/unix, and will carry general UNIX software.

login: archive

This is the HENSA software location interface.  It enables you to

interactively explore the UKC software archive to locate software you

want.  You can list files with this interface but you can not use it to

transfer files.  Once you have located the package you want you should

use FTP to ship the files you want.

The interface will be familiar to UNIX users - it has commands like ls,

cd, pwd and cat which act similarly to their UNIX equivalents. If you

don't know what these commands do you can use the help command to get

more information (e.g. `help ls' will tell you what the ls command

does).

        AND thank you for participating in this initial effort to 'Bridge

        the Gap' between high school and college.

        Two activities are available here.

                1. You can get information about admission to:

                        Cornell

                        New York University

                        University of Rochester

                2. You can 'Ask Liberty-Hi' about things that are on

                your mind--Why is the sky blue? Or, how can I help a

                friend who is abusing alcohol?  We'll do our best to

                provide good answers to most questions in a timely

                fashion.  Just one thing: homework questions are off-

                limits.

        Like most new ventures, we'll very likely have some problems

        as we go along here.  But we'll do our best to fix things, so stay

        involved and help pioneer this new path to college.

Mailbase is the JANET electronic mail based group information exchange

service  which allows groups of users to manage their  own  discussion

lists and to share information.  The full-screen service allows simple

on-line  browsing of the publicly-available  part of this information.

The copyright for the information stored is held either by the authors

or by the NISP Project.

To quit if you have problems:  Press "Control" and "C" together.

This full-screen interface to Mailbase uses "Ingres Forms". These will

be shown on the next screen.

To make a query you will need to:

o    Position the cursor over the data which you want to access

o    Select a command from the menu line by either:

          Using the function key shown next to the command name

     Or if your terminal does not have "function keys":

          Use the "menu" key (often the "ESC" key") to move the cursor

               to the command line at the bottom of the screen.

          Type the command name (or the unique first letter(s) of its

               name) on the command line.

The  key mappings for your particular terminal may be seen by choosing

the "Help" menu item followed by  the  "Keys"  menu  item.   Note  the

settings for:  the  "menu" key (usually the ESC key)

Janne Himanka           (shem@phoenix.oulu.fi)

# --- Description

Libsearch does all of the following

        o Automatic connection to library databases

        o Automatic translation from Libsearch's generic query language to

          the syntax of the particular library database

        o Automatic Logout

It beautifies and exploits the fact that everything in Tcl is a string.

# --- To Try it Out

login as tb06 with password jia.fu

cd to /scratch/china.primitive/expect/test/thesis

-*-     2

libsearch NAME KEY SPECIFIC

where NAME is (quotes required):

        "Aberdeen University"

        "Aberystwth University"

        "Bar-Ilan University"

        "Ben-Gurion University"

        "Haifa University"

        "Hebrew University"

        "Lehigh University"

        "Technion"

        "Tel Aviv University"

        "Athabasca University"

        "Helsinki University Libraries"

        "Finnish National Bibliography"

        "Karolinska Institutet"

Instead of entering the entire name, you can enter a regular expression, BUT

DO NOT FORGET THE DOT. Ie, if you want to enter "Aberdeen University" you can

enter "Aberdeen.*" but NOT "Aber*"

where KEY is (no quotes required)

        author

        title

        subject

In some cases you may be able to enter other keys such as issn, isbn but for

this demo, all extras like that are ignored.

where SPECIFIC is (play it safe and use quotes)

        whatever you are looking for

Example: Search Athabasca University for books by the author John Steinbeck

libsearch "Athabasca University " author "Steinbeck, John"

or

libsearch "Athaba.*" author "Steinbeck, John"

Example: Search Aberdeen Univerisity for the subject peace

libsearch "Aberdeen University" subject peace

libsearch "Aberdeen.*" subject peace

-*-     3

After connection and the initial automatic query of the database from your

commandline specification, you are left in an interactive mode where you may

type commands in by hand if you wish. There are a number of predefined

commands that you can access by doing the following:

Type +

you will receive a prompt like this:

expect0.1>

at this prompt you can type any of these commands:

1) author XXX ; return

2) title YYY ; return

3) subject ZZZ ; return

4) eval $logout ; return

The first three issue another search command to the library database.

The last one logs you out.

# --- How to Obtain

Currently not available on any ftp sites.

Email brannon@jove.cs.caltech.edu

# --- Requirements

        Local installation will require the latest versions of:

        o Tcl           "/anonymous@ftp.uu.net:/pub/languages/tcl"

        o Extended Tcl  "/anonymous@ftp.uu.net:/pub/languages/tcl"

        o Expect        "/anonymous@durer.cme.nist.gov:/pub/expect"

# --- To be added

Whatever is suggested

o When logging out, tell what site you have just left

o AutoScrolling should be part of the syntax file

                     How does BIRON work?

Searches based on topics

The BIRON system prompts you to type in a topic for which you are

seeking data.  Your term is matched against a list of several thousand

descriptive terms arranged in associated groups.  If an exact match is

found, you are told how many datasets have been indexed with the

matching term and are offered other associated terms which might assist

in focussing your search.  If no exact match is found, lists of

similarly spelled words are offered for your selection and the process

of matching begins there.  You may list the dataset titles retrieved on

matching your term, or simply save the group which has been retrieved

while you make further selections of topics.  When you have selected all

the topics you require, you have the option to make a combined search

using boolean operators.

Searches based on bibliographic and methodological data

You may not be interested in topic-based searches, but may know of a

particular research project for which you require the data; or you may

wish to know what data the Archive has which employs certain research

methodologies.  The BIRON system allows you to type in the names of

persons or organisations associated with particular datasets, titles or

part-titles, dates and geographical areas of data collection, and will

match these with information which we hold about the data.  Similarly,

particular methodologies are recorded and may be used in retrieval.

Spatial units, where relevant, are also included in the databases and

may be used as search terms.

Combination topic and bibliographic searches

Topic and bibliographic searches may be combined.

What information is retrieved from the system?

At the end of the search, if the search is successful, you will have, on

screen, a list of one or more dataset titles.  You may then view all the

information which we have recorded about that dataset.  The information

includes a list of indexing terms showing all the topics covered by the

data and a catalogue record giving the Archive number, the title, access

conditions, data processing codes, the names of principal investigators,

data collectors, sponsors and depositors, and an abstract detailing the

main purposes of the research and main variables.  Dates, geographical

areas, populations, data collection methodology are also displayed.

     (This service is brought to you through the generosity of)

       (Fifth Party Ltd & Second User Systems Ltd [Hardware])

           (and the Digital Equipment Company [Software])

The TeX Archive is maintained by a team of volunteers scattered around

Europe.

                          **** NEWS ****

Since the UK TeX Archive is now connected to the Internet, PUBLIC

account browsers can now use the  FTP  command to send files back to

their home sites.

We have now installed TGV's MultiNet product, which is vastly superior

to the implementation formerly used, which was DEC's UCX v1.3.  Help is

available in the usual fashion; just type the command

$ HELP ftp

to get details; alternatively, type HELP at the FTP> prompt.

Other VMS sites also running MultiNet, or a compatible product, such as

Matt Madison's CRUX extension to the CMU/Tek TCP/IP product, will be

pleased to find that MultiNet FTP automagically negotiates transfer of

VMS files with all their structure intact.  Users sending to Unix

systems should still select ASCII or BINARY as appropriate, to ensure

that record-length counts are not included in the bitstream sent to

their home site.

Your current default directory is the root of the UK TeX Archive. The

usual VMS commands are available for moving around the structure, but so

also is the Unix-like  `cd'  command; this can be used with a standard

VMS directory specification or with Unix-like relative movements (e.g.

cd drivers/dvidis).

MAIL is not available, neither is any facility for logging on to any

other machine.  Many VMS commands have been curtailed or disabled in

this account; the HELP files have been updated to reflect this usage.

For transferring files back to your own site, use TRANSFER over X25

lines. Kermit is available for those calling via a modem and dial-up

line; it is specifically disabled for X25 transfer, because of the

extreme degradation of service that this causes to other users.

For transferring multiple files, with wild card specification, use the

SEND command; see HELP SEND for further details.

Internet FTP is available for sites directly connected to the Internet.

Any problems, please contact SYSTEM@Uk.Ac.TeX.. Good Luck!! Brian HK

                         INTRODUCING NISSPAC

NISSPAC is a database service provided for the higher education

community by NISS (National Information on Software and Services).

The idea behind NISSPAC is to provide a common interface to a variety of

text based data collections. At present, these consist of the NISS

Software and Datasets Catalogue, VAX Applications Software Directory,

IBM Study Contracts dataset and the CHEST Directory.

While every effort is being made to maintain a similar mode of use with

each of the data collections, some variations arise due to differences

in the nature and structure of the data.

Selecting a service from the NISSPAC menu results in a 'Main Menu'

display for that particular service. Full details regarding content,

purpose and method of use can be obtained at the Main Menu stage.

After using a particular service, the user may elect to exit the system

and logoff, or return to the NISSPAC Menu to select another service.

Subject: Summary: Providers With Wide Area Access

       PDN delphi, holonet, michnet, portal, psi-gds, psilink, well, world

       800 class, cns, crl, dial-n-cerf-usa, jvnc, OARnet

"PDN" means the provider is accessible through a public data network

(check the listings below for which network); note that many PDNs

listed offer access outside North America as well as within North

America.  Check with the provider or the PDN for more details.

"800" means the provider is accessible via a "toll-free" US phone

number.  The phone company will not charge for the call, but the

service provider will add a relatively large surcharge to cover the

high cost of the 800 service.  Other long-distance options are

generally cheaper.

Subject: What *Is* The Internet?

The Internet is a global cooperative network of university, corporate,

government, and private computers, all communicating with each other by

means of something called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol).  Computers directly on the Internet can exchange data quickly

and easily with any other computer on the Internet to download files, send

email, provide remote logins, etc.

Users can download files from publicly accessible archive sites ("anonymous

FTP"); login into remote computers (telnet or rlogin); chat in real-time

with other users around the world (Internet Relay Chat); or use the newest

information retrieval tools to find a staggering variety of information

(Wide Area Information Servers, Gopher, World Wide Web).

Computers directly on the Internet also exchange email directly and very

quickly; email is usually delivered in seconds between Internet sites.

Sometimes the Internet is confused with other related networks or types of

networking.

First, there are other ways to be "connected to the Internet" without being

directly connected as a TCP/IP node.  Some computers connect via UUCP or

other means at regular intervals to an Internet site to exchange email and

USENET newsgroups, for instance.  Such a site can provide email (though not

as quickly as a directly connected systems) and USENET access, but not

Internet downloads, remote logins, etc.

"email" (or "Internet email", "netmail") can be exchanged with a wide

variety of systems connected directly and indirectly to the Internet.  The

email may travel solely over the Internet, or it may traverse other

networks and systems.

"USENET" is the collection of computers all over the world that exchange

USENET news -- thousands of "newsgroups" (like forums, or echos) on a wide

range of topics.  The newsgroup articles are distributed all over the world

to USENET sites that wish to carry them (sometimes over the Internet,

sometimes not), where people read and respond to them.

The "NSFNET" is one of the backbones of the Internet in the US.  It is

funded by the NSF, which restricts traffic over the NSFNET to "open

research and education in and among US research and instructional

institutions, plus research arms of for-profit firms when engaged in

open scholarly communication and research."  Your Internet provider

can give you more details about acceptable use, and alternatives

should you need to use the Internet in other ways.

------------------------------

From: PDIAL -5-

Subject: What The PDIAL Is

This is a list of Internet service providers offering public access

dialins and outgoing Internet access (ftp, telnet, etc.).  Most of

them provide email and USENET news and other services as well.

If one of these systems is not accessible to you and you need email or

USENET access, but *don't* need ftp or telnet, you have many more

public access systems from which to choose.  Public access systems

without ftp or telnet are *not* listed in this list, however.  See the

nixpub (alt.bbs, comp.misc) list and other BBS lists.

Some of these providers offer time-shared access to a shell or BBS

program on a computer connected directly to the Internet, through

which you can FTP or telnet to other systems on the Internet.  Usually

other services are provided as well.  Generally, you need only a modem

and terminal or terminal emulator to access these systems.  Check for

"shell", "bbs", or "menu" on the "services" line.

Other providers connect you directly to the Internet via SLIP or PPP

when you dial in.  For these you need a computer system capable of

running the software to interface with the Internet, e.g., a Unix

machine, PC, or Mac.  Check for "SLIP", or "PPP" on the services

line.

While I have included all sites for which I have complete information,

this list is surely incomplete.  Please send any additions or

corrections to "kaminski@netcom.com".

From: PDIAL -6-

Subject: List of Providers

Fees are for personal dialup accounts with outgoing Internet access;

most sites have other classes of service with other rate structures as

well.  Most support email and netnews along with the listed services.

"Long distance: provided by user" means you need to use services such

as PC Pursuit, direct dial long distance or other long distance services.

Subject: Appendix A: Finding Public Data Network (PDN) Access Numbers

Here's how to get local access numbers or information for the various

PDNs.  Generally, you can contact the site you're calling for help, too.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless noted otherwise, set your modem to 7E1 (7 data

bits, even parity, 1 stop bit) when dialing to look up access numbers

by modem as instructed below.

BT Tymnet

---------

For information and local access numbers, call 800-937-2862 (voice) or

215-666-1770 (voice).

To look up access numbers by modem, dial a local access number, hit

<cr> and 'a', and enter "information" at the "please log in:" prompt.

Compuserve Packet Network

-------------------------

You do NOT have to be a Compuserve member to use the CPN to dial other

services.

For information and local access numbers, call 800-848-8199 (voice).

To look up access numbers by modem, dial a local access number, hit

<cr> and enter "PHONES" at the "Host Name:" prompt.

PC Pursuit (SprintNet)

----------------------

PC Pursuit may be used to call a modem in any of 44 major metro areas

in the US from local access numbers around the country.  As such, it

can be used to access most of the providers listed in the PDIAL (those

with no other PDN access or even those which are accessible by other PDNs).

For information and registration, call 800-736-1130 (voice) or

800-877-2006 (data).  More information is also available on the PC

Pursuit support BBS (see below).

To look up access numbers by modem, dial 800-546-1000, hit

<cr><cr><cr> at 1200 baud or '@'<cr><cr> at 2400 baud.  Enter "MAIL"

at the "@" prompt, then "PHONES" at the "USER NAME:" prompt, and

"PHONES" at the "PASSWORD:" prompt.

The PC Pursuit support BBS provides a great deal of information about

PC Pursuit, including rates, terms and conditions, outdial numbers, etc.

To access the PC Pursuit support BBS, dial a local access number and

hit <cr><cr><cr> at 1200 baud or '@'<cr><cr> at 2400 baud.  Change

modem parameters to 8N1, and enter "C PURSUIT" at the "@" prompt.

PSINet

------

For information, call 800-82PSI82 (voice) or 703-620-6651 (voice), or

send email to "all-info@psi.com".  For a list of local access numbers

send email to "numbers-info@psi.com".

                                      CHAPTER 4

                                  SERVICE PROVIDERS

               This  chapter  provides  information regarding Internet

               access providers,  the general types of  services  they

               provide,  and  how  to  contact them.  Although some of

               these   providers   can   help    with    international

               connections,  Chapter 6 contains more information about

               many non-U.S. networks and whom  to  contact  for  more

               information about gaining access to them.

               This  Chapter first lists national providers of network

               connections, then lists dialup  providers,  then  lists

               the providers by state.

               The  information  contained  here was current as of the

               publication of this document, and contains  information

               as  complete  and accurate as we were able to find.  We

               would appreciate  corrections  and  additions  to  this

               chapter.   They can be sent online to nisc@nisc.sri.com

               or in hardcopy to SRI International at the  address  in

               the Overview.

               Format

               Each Provider is listed in the following format:

               Provider name

                    Contact name (if any)

                    Phone number

                    Internet e-mail address

                    Services:

               Those items in italics are listed without an identifier

               pre-pended  (e.g.  CERFnet  rather  than Provider name:

               CERFnet).

               The Services item is used to indicate the general  type

               of  service a provider offers.  It will usually contain

               either:

                  - Network connections

                  - Dialup e-mail

                  - Dialup IP

               One provider may offer any or all of these services.

               These types of access methods  are  each  described  in

               Chapter  2.    Sometimes other services may be noted as

               well.  For further details about any  service,  contact

               the  access  provider.    This Chapter lists only phone

               numbers and electronic mail addresses.  Complete postal

               addresses  can  be  found  in  the  alphabetical access

               provider listing contained in Appendix II.

               Important: Providers often offer services  in  addition

               to  those  noted!    This book is concerned mainly with

               highlighting types of Internet  access.    Most  often,

               providers  offer  a  range  of  value-added services in

               addition to initial access options.  For example,  most

               providers also offer access to USENET news.

               If a provider is in your area, but seems from this list

               not to offer the service you desire, definitely contact

               them  to  ascertain  their  current  range of services.

               Providers expand services often,  and  it  is  possible

               that we were unaware of a service.

               Many access providers in the US began with support from

               the National Science Foundation (NSF) with the  mission

               of  connecting  research  and  education  sites  to the

               NSFNET backbone or with funding from state agencies  to

               fulfill  a similar purpose.  Some providers retain this

               as their primary goal and  do  not  provide  access  to

               commercial  sites.   Other such providers have expanded

               their missions to include more commercial services,  so

               now serve a wider community.  All providers charge fees

               for  their  services,  which  has   helped   blur   the

               distinction   between   "commercial"   and   "research"

               providers.  With a few exceptions, it is generally true

               that  any  organization may join any network as long as

               it agrees to abide by  that  network's  Acceptable  Use

               Policy.    However,  it may be the case that a provider

               listed in this Chapter as serving a particular area may

               have  some restrictions regarding the type of community

               it wishes to serve.

               Note:  Access For Individuals

               Individuals usually access the Internet via some dialup

               means.    Therefore,  if you are looking for access for

               yourself, start with the section listing  Providers  Of

               Dialup  Services,  but  also  check listings under your

               state  for  other  providers  that  may  offer   dialup

               services.

               4.1. National Providers of Network Connections

               This   section   lists  providers  that  offer  network

               connections throughout  the  United  States.    Network

               connections  means  that  they will coordinate with you

               establish a dedicated connection between your  host  or

               your local area network to the Internet.

               In  most  cases,  these  providers  are not repeated in

               Section 4.3, Providers By State.  When shopping for  an

               access  provider in the United States, therefore, using

               this section in tandem  with  the  Providers  By  State

               section  will  give  you  the  maximum information from

               which to make your selection.

               4.2. Providers of Dialup Services

               This  section  lists  providers   that   offer   dialup

               connections.    This list includes only national dialup

               access  providers  and  providers  that  specialize  in

               dialup  e-mail  services for specific geographic areas.

               Those providers that offer both network connections and

               dialup  access  to  a  specific  region  are  listed in

               Section 4.3 rather than here.  This  is  only  for  the

               sake  of  simplicity.   This section is provided mainly

               for easy reference by individuals seeking dialup access

               to  the  Internet.  If you are such a person, also look

               in the section that lists providers by area to  see  if

               the  mid-level  or  regional  network in your area also

               provides dialup services.

               Even though  some  providers  seem  to  serve  smaller,

               perhaps municipal areas, their services can be accessed

               via a long distance phone  call,  or  sometimes  via  a

               public  data  network.   It is worth contacting them to

               see how you might use their services.

               All of these providers are  listed  elsewhere  in  this

               chapter   as  well  as  here.    Many  national  access

               providers also  offer  dialup  services,  so  they  are

               listed  here and in the previous section.  Those dialup

               e-mail providers that serve specific areas  are  listed

               again in Section 4.3 under the state they serve.

               Although  this  section emphasizes dialup access, it is

               important to recall that most of these providers  offer

               other services as well.

               If  no Area Served information is listed for the dialup

               providers, they  serve  all  of  the  US  and  probably

               provide   international  dialup  connections  as  well.

               Contact the provider directly for more information.

               4.3. Providers by State

               This  section lists providers by state.  Many providers

               serve more than one state,  so  are  listed  more  than

               once.    Dialup  e-mail providers are listed again here

               for the areas they serve.   National  access  providers

               are   not   listed  here;  see  Section  4.1  for  more

               information.   It  is  a  good  idea  to  contact  both

               national  providers  and  more  regional providers when

               considering an Internet connection  in  order  to  have

               enough information to make the best selection.

                                Posted on alt.bbs.internet twice

                                a month.

==============================================================================

FOREWORD:

^^^^^^^^^

        The following list has been compiled with the help of the

        wonderfully generous who associate with InterNet or UseNet.

        I owe them many thanks and please continue to send information.

        The amount of mail I recieve is enormous, and I appreciate the

        responses.

        I have a few things to say about these BBS's in general.  So bear

        with me, or skip ahead, but do take the time to read this.

        1.      These BBS's are provided as a service to anyone

                on Internet.  Not just you.  This means that you should

                try not to dominate these sites

                by staying logged in continuously or repeatedly trying to

                gain access.

        2.      While you may not directly pay for these services

                someone does.  These bbs's are run on someone else's

                computer, which means that someone else pays to keep it

                running, provide space and access, and fix problems.

        3.      You are a guest, and please keep that in mind while

                using these BBS's

        Okay, that wasn't so bad after all.

        Most of these BBS`s offer services unique to BBS'ing. Some offer

        small scale versions of standard Internet sevices.  Keep in mind

        that mail or articles posted on BBS's does not reach everyone in

        the world, and if you can get to UseNet, you will problably find

        better responses.  Most of the files on these BBS`s can be found

        by anonymous FTP, so don't tie up the system downloading files if

        you have FTP.  Do be considerate on these BBS`s, some people aren't

        using Telnet or Rlogin to get to these, some people still dial

        numbers with modems at there homes.

        I'm not going to say anymore, because you can figure most of

        this out for yourselves.  Enjoy the list and write back to tell

        me about these BBS`s.  I want to add as much info to these as

        possible.   A little abstract, such as services, will be

        great.

        For users of JANET (UK), you may access these bbs's through

        first connecting to UK.AC.NSFNET-RELAY.TELNET or

        PAD.UK.AC.NSFNET-RELAY.TELNET.  Likewise, users of internet can

        get to JANET by telnet SUN.NSF.AC.UK, login as janet.

        Something New!!!!!

        all sites that are prefixed with ===========

        and sufixed with the same thing are sites that are

        down and will probably be removed from this list.

        such as

        ==========

        Mars Hotel      mars.ee.msstate.edu

                --      down now

        ==========

        just something new to help clear any misconceptions up.

TELNET tips

The Telnet protocol has been implemented on a variety of systems. Each

is different, so specific commands depend on your version. However, all

versions function similarly, so there are a few general guidelines to

follow.

The one common element across the disparate environments of the Internet

is the TCP/IP software protocol suite, the basis of communications.

Telnet, the terminal-handler portion of the TCP/IP protocol suite, is

the cornerstone of this striking communications technology. Telnet

handles the remote login to another Internet host, so it is useful to

know something about the way it works.

Telnet operates in a client/server environment in which one host (the

computer you are using, running Client (User) Telnet) negotiates opening

a session on another computer (the remote host, running Server Telnet).

During the behind-the-scenes negotiation process, the two computers

agree on the parameters governing the session.  One of the first things

they settle is the terminal type to be used -- in general, a

line-by-line network virtual terminal, for simplicity's sake.  Virtual

terminal, in this context, refers to a set of terminal characteristics

and sequences that both sides of a network connection agree to use to

transmit data from terminals across the network, regardless of the

terminal used.

                        Finding Telnet Commands

Try typing "help" or "?"  at the Telnet prompt to get a list of the

commands available in your Telnet software.

                   Using Local versus Remote Commands

Once you have established a remote session, all commands you type will

be sent to the Server Telnet on the remote host for execution.

If you want a Telnet command issued in the remote environment to be

acted on locally by your client Telnet, on most systems you would

normally precede the command with an escape sequence (a predetermined

character or combination of characters that signal your Telnet software

to execute the command that follows locally).  For example, in NCSA

Telnet for pc-compatible microcomputers, the F10 key is the escape

character that alerts Telnet to execute locally the next command you

type (to turn local echo on or off, or to toggle capture on or off,

etc.).

The Telnet escape sequence by itself followed by [cr] returns you

temporarily to your local operating environment.  On UNIX systems, the

escape sequence is usually the control key (CNTL) and left bracket ([)

pressed simultaneously.

                               Logging On

TELNET [host]

   or

TELNET [cr] followed by OPEN [host] at the prompt.

The basic command set is simple.  You also need to know either the

machine domain name or the machine Internet address (a series of

numbers).  The numbers will always work; the names will work if they are

in a software table available to your version of Telnet.

IBM systems that use TN3270 may require you to type a carriage return,

"DIAL VTAM," or just "VTAM" in response to the first prompt from the

remote system.

                              Logging Off

LOGOFF or LOGOUT (also try QUIT, END, EXIT, STOP, etc.)

CLOSE, prefixed by the escape sequence.

ABORT, prefixed by the escape sequence--use as a last resort!

To exit the remote system, first try that system's logoff command.  To

determine what the appropriate logoff command is, check the menus, help,

and welcome screens when you first log on. Oftentimes, the logoff

information is listed there but not always easy to retrieve later.

Logging off the remote system may return you to your primary operating

environment (all the way out of Telnet), or you may be left in Telnet.

If so, type "quit".

But some information systems have no graceful exit for remote users.  In

that case, you have two options --- CLOSE or ABORT.

CLOSE should be your next choice after LOGOFF.  If you are unable to

CLOSE the connection normally (e.g., if your remote session is hung),

try the Telnet ABORT command to drop your connection locally.

ABORT will return control to you in your local environment, but it may

not properly terminate your session on the remote machine. Since this

can leave the port on the remote machine busy for an indefinite period

even though you are no longer using it, ABORT should be used only as a

last resort.

In either case, you can also try escaping back to your local environment

and then issuing the termination commands.  If one method doesn't work,

try the other.

Other commands may allow you to control your communications environment.

Investigate the help systems both in your local Telnet and on the remote

system at the outset.

                          Using the BREAK Key

Don't be hasty with the Break key.  Too many Breaks may cause your

Telnet session to be dropped!

There is no standard BREAK key across versions of Telnet and in remote

information systems.  Telnet is based on the concept of a network

virtual terminal, in which the control functions (breaks, etc.) are

communicated with characters regardless of terminal type (rather than

line conditions, used in the terminal server environment). Your local

Telnet receives your break and sends out a character sequence which is

reinterpreted on the other end, hopefully as the break you intended.

Your Break may not always be understood by the remote system, so you

should try HELP or ?  when you begin (at the Telnet prompt) to determine

what your version of Telnet uses as BREAK.

Tips: In UNIX, CNTL-C may work for BREAK.  In the Mac environment, BREAK

may be a click down menu option or a character combination. In NCSA

Telnet (a popular PC version), BREAK is F10 followed by a lower case

letter "b".

                        Using the Backspace Key

The backspace character may not be recognized by the remote system.

Investigate in your local Telnet how to set an erasing backspace.  Type

?  at the Telnet prompt, or SET ?  for a list of possibilities.

                  Adjusting the Settings to your Needs

Most Telnet programs have the ability to SET or TOGGLE many of these

settings on and off.  Erasable backspace, local echo, carriage return

interpretation ([cr] or [cr][lf] -- i.e., carriage return or carriage

return with line feed), and the escape character you use to return to

the local environment are things that you can usually SET or TOGGLE at

the Telnet prompt. Type ?  and use Telnet's internal help system to

change a setting.

                          Using Function Keys

Remember that special function keys are local implementations and have

no significance in a remote session.  Function keys such as INSERT,

DELETE, ERASE END-OF-FIELD, PF, and PA keys may not be recognized in the

remote environment.  Even though function keys and control key

combinations may have significance on the remote system, they may vary

from those on your local system.

                               About NRLF

The Northern Regional Library Facility (NRLF) is a cooperative library

storage facility, the first of its kind in California.  It is owned and

operated by the University of California and is located on the grounds

of UC Berkeley's Richmond Field Station.  The 98,000 square foot main

building was completed in 1982; an annex was completed in 1990.  NRLF

offers high-density, low cost housing for infrequently used library

materials belonging to northern California libraries.  At this time,

depositors to NRLF are libraries on the University's Berkeley, Davis,

San Francisco, and Santa Cruz campuses, and the California State

Library.  At the beginning of 1992, more than 2.8 million items were

shelved at NRLF.  To provide the best possible environment for the

books, the stack area is climate controlled to maintain a constant

temperature (60 F) and relative humidity (50%).  Materials are stored in

the stacks by four size classifications in the order in which they are

received by the NRLF. As an additional space saving measure, books are

placed two-deep on each shelf.

The screen-mode WAIS interface that I have been working on is now ready

for alpha testing.  I am aware of several outstanding problems, but am

looking for feedback on the general interface and interaction model at

this time.

The "swais" (simple wais) program currently supports:

   Selection of multiple sources for a query.

   Specification of keywords for query on screen.

   Itemization of resulting documents with attributes.

   Retrieval and display (via more) of any selection documents.

   Repeat current search specifying new keywords and/or sources.

It will soon support:

   Retreival of documents into a local file or to a filter program.

   Ability to select retrievied source descriptions in future queries.

   Scrolling source and document displays for >15 items.

Send any comments to jcurran@nnsc.nsf.net.

The WAIS (Wide Area Information Service) system is a collection of

programs which provide for convenient information distribution over wide

area networks. Tools for both "publishing" and accessing information

sources are provided. The Simple WAIS (SWAIS) interface is a basic

access tool designed for those focused on data retreival and not

computer operation. It provides most of the functionality of the more

complicated interfaces but features a simple and potentially more

natural interface.  The functionality supported includes source

selection, keyword entry, and automatic document retrieval. I hope that

this tool may be of use.  Enjoy.

The WAIS system is the result of a joint project between Thinking

Machines, Apple Computer, and Dow Jones.  For more information on WAIS,

send mail to "wais-discussion@think.com".  The current release of the

WAIS software is available via anonymous ftp from think.com in

subdirectory wais.

What is The Desktop Internet Reference?

The Desktop Internet Reference is a hypertext reference to

the Internet.  Its eighteen thousand pages cover the

following topics:

 1) What is the Internet?  How does it work?

 2) How can I get connected to the Internet?

 3) What resources are available?  How can I find things?

 4) How do I use these resources?

 5) Where can I find more about these topics?

This reference is based on Peter Scott's Hytelnet, an

excellent DOS and UNIX reference to the Internet.  Other documents

included are: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet

NSF's Internet Resource Guide, Zen and the Art of the Internet,

Introduction to the Internet: A Reading List, Putting your home

PC on the Internet, the Public Dialup Internet Access List,

The Totally Unofficial List of Internet Muds, High Weirdness

on the Internet, ARCHIE user commands, Individual access to the

Internet and a List of all known anonymous FTP sites.  Each of

these documents is included here in its entirity, with all

original copyrights retained.

I feel that The Desktop Internet Reference is special

because it brings together a large number of useful

documents into a single cross-linked, easily accessed form.

I hope it will make the Internet more accessible to

the average computer user.

-> The Desktop Internet Reference is Public Domain, and CANNOT BE SOLD!

-> It may be freely distributed without restiction.  A duplication

-> cost of $10 or less may be legally charged by a distribution agent.

-> Anyone attempting to profit through the sale of The Desktop Internet

-> included here.

The latest version of the Desktop Internet Reference is available via

anonymous FTP at various sites worldwide.  The FTP site "FTP.UWP.EDU"

always carries the latest version in the directory /pub/msdos/dir.  Or,

send the author a check for $10 for the latest version on a 3.5"

MS-DOS disk.

The author wishes to solicit documents for inclusion in the next

version of The Desktop Internet Reference.  The author would also

like to make versions of this program available for other computing

platforms.  Please contact him if you are interested in helping.

                                    Introduction

            The growth of National Science Foundation  Network  (NSFNET)

            in  the last few years has brought the benefits  of network-

            ing to researchers at hundreds of academic,  government  and

            industrial  sites.   Network  users  have improved access to

            research tools, and there are greater possibilities for col-

            laboration  among  members of the research community. But in

            order to take  maximum  advantage  of  more  widespread  and

            improved  connectivity,  users  have  to  be  aware  of  the

            resources that are available to them.

            When the NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) began to  publish

            the  "Internet  Resource  Guide"  in  1989,  our goal was to

            increase the visibility of the resources that are accessible

            via NSFNET and other parts of the Internet. We have depended

            on the population of resource providers on the  Internet  to

            furnish us with the information for the guide.

            We have just finished an extensive update  of  many  of  the

            entries  to  the Internet Resource Guide.  We hope that this

            new November 1992 edition of  the  printed  version  of  the

            guide will inspire its readers, many of whom surely maintain

            resources we haven't yet mentioned, to  submit  descriptions

            of their resources for the guide.

            If you wish to submit a new entry to the  Internet  Resource

            Guide,  send a message to "resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net", and

            we will send you a template and instructions  for  preparing

            your entry.

                       How to Use and Maintain This Guide...

            Using the Guide...

            The Internet Resource Guide is  intended  to  help  Internet

            users  learn  what  services on the network are available to

            them.

            Each  service  is  listed  in  a  separate  section,   which

            November 10, 1992           NNSC         Introduction Page 1

            describes  the  resource, explains who can use the resource,

            how the network is reached via the Internet and  lists  con-

            tacts for more information.

            To  assist  users  trying  to  find  a  particular  type  of

            resource,  similar  resources are grouped into chapters. For

            example, Chapter 1 lists all the special computing resources

            on the Internet, including supercomputer centers and centers

            for parallel computing. Thus, users interested in finding  a

            supercomputer  to work on can browse through the sections in

            Chapter 1, in search of  a  supercomputer  center  that  can

            accomodate  their needs. Users interested in locating a par-

            ticular service can check the  tables  of  contents  at  the

            start of each chapter.

            The resource guide is indexed in WAIS (the Wide Area  Infor-

            mation   Server   system),   which   can   be   accessed  on

            quake.think.com, nnsc.nsf.net, and many other Internet  host

            computers. Telnet to the host computer, and login as "wais".

            Maintaining the Guide...

            The resource guide is designed to be kept  in  a  loose-leaf

            notebook,  to  make  it  easy  to add or replace sections of

            text. Users can add new sections  to  their  collection,  or

            replace  the  existing  sections,  with updated entries. The

            guide is also designed to be stored on a host computer, with

            each section in a separate file.

            The guide is distributed electronically by the NNSC. To  get

            on one or more of the distribution lists for the guide, send

            a note to "resource-guide-request@nnsc.nsf.net".

               o +  The "text" list receives a Text (ASCII) copy  of  each

                  new or updated entry in an email message.

               o +  The "PostScript" list receives a  Postscript  copy  of

                  each new o updated entry in an email message.

               o +  The  "ftp"  list  receives  announcements  of  new  or

                  updated  entries  that are available for anonymous ftp

                  on nnsc.nsf.net.

            Please specify which list or lists you prefer.  (The text in

            both  the  Text  and  PostScript  versions is the same;  the

            Postscript version is generally easier to read, but it  can-

            not be read on-line or searched by computer, unless you have

            This section lists computational resources on the  Internet.

            These  are  centers  or particular machines that serve users

            with special computing requirements.  A good example of such

            a resource is a supercomputer center.

            The Cornell Theory Center at Cornell University  is  one  of

            four  National  Advanced  Scientific  Computing Centers sup-

            ported  by  the  National  Science  Foundation.  The  Theory

            Center's  resources  have  been  used  by  more  than  5,000

            researchers in fields as diverse as  aerospace  engineering,

            economics,  and  epidemiology.  Its  staff  offers technical

            expertise in  software,  visualization,  vectorization,  and

            parallel  processing  to  its  users,  and investigates new,

            highly parallel processing resources for the scientific com-

            munity in order to increase the usability of these computers

            through systems development and through examination of tech-

            niques  to  improve  performance. A variety of education and

            training programs are also offered to high school, undergra-

            duate, and graduate students, and their professors.

            The Theory Center, through its  Cornell  National  Supercom-

            puter Facility (CNSF), provides a world-class supercomputing

            environment that includes traditional  vector-scalar  super-

            computing  resources, in addition to scalable, parallel sys-

            tems. Theory Center  resources  were  recently  upgraded  to

            include a single six-way IBM ES/9000-900 supercomputer (with

            2.66 Gflops peak  aggregate  performance,  9  Gbytes  shared

            memory).  An important feature for many users who now access

            1 Gbyte of virtual memory is  that  each  user  process  may

            access  up  to  2  Gbytes  of virtual memory on the ES/9000.

            Parallel resources  at  the  Theory  Center  include  a  32-

            processor  KSR1,  the  32-processor  Parallel  Visualization

            Server (PVS) and a Scalable Cluster  of  RISC  Systems.  The

            KSR1 is a scalable parallel system manufactured  by  Kendall

            Square  Research  and offers 1.28 Gflops peak aggregate per-

            formance, and a 1 Gbyte shared memory and 1000 Gbyte address

            space per processor.

            The Theory Center is a  national  center  of  expertise  for

            IBM's PVS and the visual programming interface Data Explorer

            (DX). The PVS is a  parallel  computer  that  implements  DX

            across  32  processors using a large global memory, and per-

            forming up to 2.5 Gflops.  This  processing  speed  combined

            with the portable, user-friendly DX software allows an enor-

            mous range of performance levels with no change in  function

            for  the  user.   The same DX is available, for example,  on

            the Center's Scalable Cluster of RISC Systems (SCRS),  which

            consists of multiple RS/6000 workstations connected via high

            speed networking.

            This RISC Cluster is  being  used  for  multiprocessing  and

            parallel  computing. The cluster presently consists of eight

            model 550s, each with at least 128Mb of memory and all  run-

            ning AFS (Andrew File System).  PVM is available to affect a

            message- passing parallelism.  For those with X-capable dev-

            ices,  the  Center  has a PVM workbench to facilitate use of

            the cluster.  Express will also be  available  in  the  near

            future.

            In addition to the production operating  environments,  full

            support for communications across the NSFNET is provided via

            TCP/IP.   Interprocess  communications,   including   remote

            logins,  FTP  file  transfer,  and X Window System, are sup-

            ported.  FORTRAN is the primary language, and  is  supported

            in  scalar,  vector,  and  parallel  modes, with interactive

            debug  and  execution   analysis.    Scientific   subroutine

            libraries  are available, including vectorized and parallel-

            ized versions.  Online HELP facilities, UNIX man pages,  and

            a  Cornell  set  of  TUTOR  examples assist users.  Graphics

            software supports both local hardware and remote facilities.

            Several  well-known  application  packages  and  a  list  of

            software are available upon request.

            The Theory Center's resources can be reached via the  Inter-

            net  (supporting  remote  login,  file  transfer, electronic

            mail, and graphics).  Users can access the CNSF  via  direct

            dialups:   607-255-4141  provides  300,  1200, and 2400 baud

            How to apply for time.   31,000  CPU  hours  each  year  are

            available for academic and industrial use.  Most of the time

            is allocated at no charge to researchers  on  the  basis  of

            peer  review by the SDSC Allocation Committee or by the SDSC

            consortium institutions.  Allocations by the  committee  are

            made  independent  of  institutional  affiliation or funding

            source.  The projects must be non-proprietary.  Applications

            are  accepted four times per year (for 12-month allocations)

            for time beginning 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, or 1 October.

            Applications  must be received at least 45 days prior to the

            quarter in which you request your allocation to begin (e.g.,

            the  deadline  is  15  February for time beginning 1 April).

            The Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) has a  long  history

            of  participation  in the forefront of computing technology.

            At present, the BRL Super Computing  Facility  includes  two

            High Speed Processors: a Cray X-MP4/8 operating in unclassi-

            fied mode and a Cray-2 operating in classified.   Both  sys-

            tems  utilize  the UNICOS 6.1.12 operating system and imple-

            ment Cray's Network Queing System (NQS) for batch processing

            and Data Migration (DM) software.

            The Cray X-MP/48 has four processors with an 8.5  nanosecond

            clock rate, 8 Million 64-bit words of main memory, and a 128

            Million 64-bit word Solid State Disk (SSD) available to  all

            through  logical  device  caching and swap space.  The clock

            rate enables the machine to operate  in  the  range  of  250

            MFLOPS.   There  are  approximately  40 Gigabytes of on-line

            mass storage, and interfaces to IBM 3480 and IBM  3420  mag-

            netic   tape   devices.    Available  applications  software

            include: DISSPLA;  DISSPOP;  IMSL;  MPGS;  BRLCAD;  PICSURE;

            ABAQUS;   LINDO;   MSC/NASTRAN;  MSC/DYNA;  MSC/PISCES;  and

            LQGALPH. Available compilers include: CFT; CF77; Pascal; and

            C.  The Cray X-MP/48 is available 24 hours per day, 365 days

            per year; however, it is not attended during evening or mid-

            night shifts on weekends or holidays.

            The  Cray-2  has  four  processors  operating  with  a   4.1

            nanosecond  clock rate.  This machine has 256 Million 64-bit

            Software  and  Systems  (CERPASS)  provides  an experimental

            facility for researchers on the Internet.

            The Center's parallel computing resource includes a  Connec-

            tion Machine CM-2 and a Symult Series 2010.

            The Connection Machine Model CM-2 is  a  massively  parallel

            SIMD  machine.  Its hardware consists of 16,384 data proces-

            sors interconnected via a hypercube network.  Each processor

            has  a bit-serial ALU and a 64K-bit local memory.  This CM-2

            has two front-end subsystems - one VAX 6210 and one  Symbol-

            ics  3600,  a  5-Gigabyte  mass storage system and a graphic

            color display device.  Half of the machine (i.e., 8,192 pro-

            cessors)  is  also equipped with floating-point accelerator.

            Programming languages  available  on  this  machine  include

            *Lisp, C* and Paris interfaces to Commonlisp and C.

            The Symult S2010 is a  message-passing,  distributed  memory

            MIMD  machine.   Its  hardware  consists of 32 computational

            nodes.  Each node has a 32-bit Motorola 68020 microprocessor

            as  its  CPU, augmented by the Motorola 68881 floating-point

            coprocessors.  Each node has 8MB local memory, and  is  con-

            nected  with  other  nodes  via a high-speed message-routing

            network (GigaLink).  This machine uses  a  Sun-3  front-end,

            and  can  be  programmed  in  C  and  the parallel extension

            The mission of  the  North  Carolina  Supercomputing  Center

            (NCSC)  is  to  promote the growth of computational science,

            education, and research in North Carolina  institutions  and

            to foster the economic development of North Carolina through

            high-performance computing and its applications.   The  pri-

            mary  focus  of NCSC is to promote economic growth, computa-

            tional science  and  education  in  North  Carolina  through

            cooperative agreements with industry and research collabora-

            tions with academic institutions at all levels.  NCSC  is  a

            division  of  MCNC,  a non-profit company. NCSC offers high-

            performance computing on the following platforms:

            Cray YMP8/464   128 MWords SSD         62 GBytes of disk storage

            Convex C220     128 MBytes of memory   10 GBytes of disk storage

            An IBM 3090-180J provides  mass  storage  services  for  the

            Center  using  Unitree. The Center's computers are connected

            via a high-speed UltraNet network.

            The NCSC  visualization  lab  includes  a  Silicon  Graphics

            4D/280  GTX with stereo display, UltraNet network interface,

            32 megabytes of memory and 8 gigabytes of  disk  storage;  a

            Sun  4/490  with 64 megabytes of memory and 7.3 gigabytes of

            disk storage; a DECStation 5000/200 PXG-Turbo with 96  mega-

            bytes  of  memory  and  850 megabytes of disk storage; and a

            Stardent Titan 3040 P3 G3 with four processors, 64 megabytes

            of  memory  and  2  gigabytes  of disk storage. The lab also

            includes a NeXT computer with  color  monitor,  a  Macintosh

            IIci  with  color  monitor, a Kodak XL7700 color printer, an

            optical scanner, a film recorder, two commercial-grade  com-

            ponent  video recorders, a video digitizer, a scan converter

            and a digital frame store, and a  multi-format  video  tran-

            scoder.

            NCSC was chosen as the site of the International AVS  Center

            in 1991.  Two of the International AVS Center's goals are to

            broaden the user base and the functionality  of  Application

            Visualization  System, the current "de facto" standard visu-

            alization environment, and to be vender-neutral. The  Inter-

            national  AVS  Center  plans to reach this goal by fostering

            discipline-specific AVS module  development  and  developing

            new  uses  for  AVS.  The International AVS Center collects,

            ports and distributes  user-contributed  public  domain  AVS

            modules  and  serves  as a liason between AVS users and ven-

            dors. The International AVS center manages an  International

            AVS  Users Group to work with users from around the world to

            form local user groups.

            NCSC provides user support through e-mail and telephone con-

            tacts;  it  also provides training courses on a wide variety

            of supercomputing  topics.  NCSC  has  a  complete  training

            facility  with  lecture facilities, video taping capability,

            and a hands-on training laboratory populated with 16  works-

            tations.  NCSC  is a partner in the VISTAnet project, a com-

            ponent of the NREN project sponsored by the National Science

            Foundation.  NCSC  is installing a HIPPI based internal net-

            work for high-speed visualization and mass storage services.

            The  Research  Institute  within NCSC pro- motes interdisci-

            plinary and computational approaches to challenging problems

            through collaboration with industrial and academic partners.

            you  type in your e-mail address at this prompt, it will not

            be echoed on the screen.   Once  you  are  logged  into  the

            anonymous account, a limited set of UNIX commands are avail-

            able, such as ls, cd, help, and get.

            For additional information and  instructions  on  using  the

            account, see the pub/README.ftp file or enter man ftp at the

            system prompt to see the man page.  Copy this file  to  your

            directory  on  the  machine where you initiated the ftp ses-

            sion.  Type quit to log out of the ftp session.

                            Chapter 2:  Library Catalogs

            A large number of libraries allow access  to  their  library

            catalogs via the Internet.  Such catalogs can be very useful

            for finding uncommon books not available at a local library.

            Once  a  book  is  located, it can often be borrowed by your

            local library through Interlibrary  Loan.   Another  popular

            use of library catalogs is to check citations or references.

            Many catalogs also support more extended  reference  facili-

            ties.

            Please note that  on-line  catalogs  often  have  a  limited

            number of ports. Users are asked not to abuse their access.

            We would like to acknowledge the considerable assistance  of

            Ron Larsen, Art St.  George, and Joe St. Sauver in compiling

            this section.

            The MELVYL catalog is a computer-based  library  catalog  of

            more  than  5.5  million  unique book titles representing 11

            million holdings of all libraries in the nine-campus UC sys-

            tem  and the California State Library.  The catalog contains

            records of book and periodical (serial) holdings, and  other

            materials  such  as  maps,  films, musical scores, and sound

            recordings.  Collections strengths include agriculture,  dry

            lands, oceanography, entomology, performing arts (especially

            film and television), photography,  Californiana,  materials

            on Mexico and Central America, 17th and 18th century British

            literature, health sciences, science fiction, and many  oth-

            ers.

            The periodical file, containing  more  than  640,000  unique

            titles  of newspapers, journals, proceedings, etc., includes

            the holdings  of  Stanford  University,  the  University  of

            Southern  California,  the  nineteen-campus California State

            University system, and selected other libraries.

            The MELVYL catalog also includes two article abstracting and

            indexing  files-MEDLINE  and Current Contents.  Use of these

            files, unlike the books and periodicals files, is restricted

            to  the  UC community.  The MELVYL MEDLINE database contains

            the current  five-year  file  of  the  National  Library  of

            The  Research  Libraries  Group, Inc.  It includes an online

            bibliographic database cataloging the holdings of well  over

            one   hundred  research  libraries,  archives,  and  special

            collections-a total of over forty million records in  August

            1990.   Entries are divided among eight files:  books, seri-

            als, archival materials (e.g., personal papers, governmental

            records),  maps,  music  scores,  sound  recordings,  visual

            materials (e.g., films and photographs), and computer files.

            Smaller  subject-oriented  databases  contain  citations for

            articles in art and architectural  periodicals;  eighteenth-

            century  English-language  publications;  art sales catalogs

            dating from the 1500s to the present; and  research  in  the

            humanities  scheduled  for  publication  within the next two

            years.

            Users search RLIN with  command-line  searches  rather  than

            from  a  menu, by specifying index terms.  Indexes available

            include title, subject, author, conference  or  corporation,

            ISBN,  LC  number,  and  many more; some are specific to the

            file being searched (such as the index to music  publishers'

            The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public  cata-

            log  of the libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

            and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  NLS  supports  a

            separate online catalog for each campus.

            The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million

            titles cataloged since 1976 located in twenty-five libraries

            on the campus and at the Center for  Research  Libraries  in

            Chicago.   This  represents  roughly  fifty percent of their

            collections.  The  UW-Milwaukee  catalog  contains  approxi-

            mately  nine  hundred thousand titles and represents eighty-

            five percent of the general collection.

            Note on keyboard mappings:

            Because keyboard mappings are defined by the tn3270 software

            on  the  client's host computer, we are not able to tell you

            definitively how your keyboard will be mapped.  The  follow-

            ing  chart  shows a selection of the tn3270 keyboard mapping

            used on many UW Madison VAX  computers.   These  definitions

            are also used when accessing NLS via telnet as they are pro-

            vided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.

            LUIS, the Library User Information Service, can be  used  to

            find  bibliographic information, locations, and call numbers

            for materials held by the libraries  of  the  University  of

            Illinois  at Chicago (UIC).  LUIS includes more than 860,000

            titles.  Older  items  in  the  UIC  libraries  may  not  be

            included in LUIS.

            LUIS contains records for all books cataloged since 1976 for

            the Library of the Health Sciences (LHS), and since 1977 for

            the other UIC libraries.   Many  older  books  in  the  east

            campus  libraries  are  also  included: all English-language

            books published since 1968, and virtually all books  in  the

            Architecture  and  Art,  Math,  and Science Libraries are in

            LUIS.

            LUIS also contains LHS audiovisuals cataloged since 1978 and

            selected  government documents at LHS.  Records and holdings

            for all periodicals currently received by LHS, and for  most

            periodicals  currently  received by the other libraries, are

            in LUIS.  Most titles not yet cataloged (including those  on

            order) are also included.

            LIAS  is  the  Library  Information  Access  System  of  the

            Pennsylvania  State  University  Libraries.  It includes the

            online catalog and access to other databases/services.   The

            catalog  contains  approximately  1.5 million unique titles,

            representing not only the holdings at  the  main  campus  at

            University Park, but also the holdings of Penn State Harris-

            burg;  Penn State Erie, the Behrend College;  Great  Valley;

            and  the  seventeen  Commonwealth  campuses.  In addition to

            monograph and serial records,  LIAS  provides  bibliographic

            access  to  the  the  maps collection, musical scores, sound

            recordings, archive and manuscript collections, parts of the

            government  documents  and  microforms  collections, and the

            machine-readable data files available on campus.  LIAS  also

            provides access to the collections of Audio-Visual Services,

            the Paul Robeson Cultural Center,  and  the  National  Cable

            Television  Center  and  Museum.  Databases include ERIC and

            The Harvard Online Library Information System (HOLLIS)  pro-

            vides  access to a number of databases including two library

            catalogs.  The  union  catalog  of  the  Harvard  University

            libraries  contains  approximately three million records for

            books,  journals,  manuscripts,  scores,  sound  recordings,

            visual  materials,  and computer files in the collections of

            most of the Harvard libraries.  (This database includes most

            items  cataloged since 1977, and is adding records for older

            materials at the rate of approximately one million per  year

            through a major retrospective conversion project.) The cata-

            log of older Widener Library materials contains about a mil-

            lion short records for books cataloged for the main research

            library before 1977.

            BUBL is the BUlletin Board for Libraries on JANET, the Joint

            Academic  NETwork  in  the U.K. BUBL collects information of

            interest to network- using librarians  and  their  users.  A

            major  aim is to provide librarians with information on ser-

            vices and resources on JANET and other networks  (e.g.,  the

            European  IXI network and the world-wide Internet). However,

            BUBL also covers items of general  interest  to  librarians.

            Moreover,  it  is increasingly used by non-librarians - lec-

            turers, students, and others - for the guidance it  provides

            on  finding and using networked resources and services. Most

            BUBL users are from the U.K. However, there are known  users

            in  several  other  countries, including Sweden, the Nether-

            lands, Canada, Hong Kong, and the U.S.A.

            BUBL is run by the Universities of Strathclyde  and  Glasgow

            on behalf of JUGL, the JANET User Group for Libraries. It is

            partially supported by the Information Systems Committee  of

            the Universities Funding Council and by private sponsorship,

            but is run on a mainly voluntary basis by the two  universi-

            ties.  The  user interface is provided by a software package

            called 'USERBUL'(copyright Leicester University  and  NISS).

            This  allows  information to be accessed through a series of

            menus  and  sub-menus.   However,  since  the   hierarchical

            structure is apparent  rather  than  real,  users  need  not

            "climb"  or  "descend"  'through menus in order to reach the

            files or menus they desire.  It also allows users to  search

            large  files  by  keyword,  to transfer information to their

            host machine via electronic mail using the POST command,  to

            send a message to the editor, or to display various kinds of

            online help. Versions of this software are also used by  the

            humanities  bulletin  board HUMBUL and by the NISS (National

            Information on Software and Services) bulletin board.

            Sections of particular interest are:

            Information on the bulletin board  is  updated  on  a  daily

            basis,  and  update  bulletins  are  sent  out once or twice

            The British Library Research and  Development  Division  has

            recently  funded  a six-month study into the future of BUBL.

            The study aims to investigate how BUBL's  role  and,  conse-

            quently,  its coverage and facilities should be developed in

            the next few years, and to produce a coherent,  co-ordinated

            and  costed short to medium term development plan as a guide

            to future efforts.

            The Gene-Server is a mail response facility that will return

            a specific GenBank (tm) entry requested via e-mail.

            Other Services:

            The server  now  distributes  Protein  Information  Resource

            (PIR, also known as NBRF) protein sequence database entries.

            The  VMS  and  ASCII  versions  of  PIR  are  available  for

            anonymous FTP as well as via Gopher.

            Molecular biology software for Apple  Macintosh,  DOS,  Unix

            and VAX-VMS computers is also available from the server.

            A number of information files (the  R.  Roberts  Restriction

            Enzyme  database; sequence analysis reference, and such) are

            distributed.

            The Matrix of Biological Knowledge Archive-Server files  are

            now available only from this address.

            _ N_ e_ t_ w_ o_ r_ k _ A_ c_ c_ e_ s_ s

            The server can be accessed via e-mail on the Internet,  BIT-

            Please be aware that a mail response program is not  "smart"

            and  can only respond to a limited set of commands.  GenBank

            entries are available by name and accession number only.

            Your request can consist of one of the following:

               HELP

               SEND HELP

               SEND GB-LOCUS genbanklocusname

               SEND INDEX indexname

               SEND ACCESSION accession_number

               SEND ACCESSION accessionumber(s)

               SEND KEYWORD genbankkeyword

               SEND PIR-KEYWORD pirkeyword

               SEND PIR-ACCESSION piraccessionnumber(s)

            There are many other parameters for specific subsets of  the

            Gene-Server, please see the individual HELP files.

            "HELP" will result in a small help  file  being  sent  back;

            everyone  should  request  the  help message.  The file will

            contain up-to-date information  about  the  server,  access,

            release  numbers,  and  policies.   The  help  message  also

            includes all index names, so "SEND INDEX" no  longer  works.

            "SEND  INDEX  index_name"  (where "index_name" is one of the

            index files listed in the HELP message)  will  work.   "SEND

            LOCUS   genbank_locus_name"   will  return  via  e-mail  the

            requested locus if it exists, and an  error  message  if  it

            does  not.   Use  the index file in the HELP message to find

            the name of the entry, or use the accession number.

            Note that large GenBank entries (Lambda,  EBV,  tobacco  and

            liverwort  chloroplasts)  may not make it through the thread

            of mailers.  UUCP mailers, in particular, silently enforce a

            limit  of  64,000 characters in a single mail message.  Note

            also that Usenet mail is very unreliable;  you  should  con-

            sult  the "pathalias" database to construct a mail path from

            your machine to bchs.uh.edu.  A local Unix mail  wizard  may

            be able to help.

            The Gene-Server itself silently  enforces  a  limit  of  one

            megabyte on a reply. Please do not ask for a lot of software

            or data in a single message.

            IMPORTANT NOTE: "gene-server@bchs.uh.edu" is an  MX  record.

            If  you  have problems reaching that address, ask your local

            system mail expert how to  handle  addresses  that  are  "MX

            records."  As a "very" last resort, send email to one of the

            addresses given above.

            The current version of GenBank on the server is Release  64.

            The  server  is  updated  as often as possible given funding

            (none) and  disk  space  constraints.   The  server  may  be

            updated daily in the future.

            Information and software is  exchanged  regularly  with  the

            European  Molecular  Biology  Laboratory (EMBL) File Server,

            and   the   molbio   ftp   sites,   "ftp.bchs.uh.edu"    and

            "nic.funet.fi"; but the specific files, syntax, and informa-

            tion vary between the four servers.

            The server contains a simple response to someone asking  for

            too  many  loci  or  otherwise abusing the service: it stops

            working for them.

            Questions  can  be  sent  to  davison@uh.edu  (Internet)  or

            DAVISON@UHOU(BITNET).   Requests  to  talk to a human rather

            than a mail response program  should  be  sent  to  archive-

            management@bchs.uh.edu.    By   popular   demand,   archive-

            managment@bchs.uh.edu also works.

            This service is provided  by  the  Institute  for  Molecular

            Biology,  the Department of Biochemical and Biophysical Sci-

            ences, and is funded by  the National Science Foundation.

            The server is not funded or related in any  with  the  DHHS,

            PHS,  National  Institutes  of Health, or its contractors or

            subcontractors on the GenBank contract.  GenBank is a trade-

            mark  of  the US Department of Health and Human Services, US

            Public Health Service.

            The LiMB (LIsting of Molecular Biology  databases)  database

            is  a  computer-based collection of information on molecular

            biology and related databases.  LiMB is intended to  facili-

            tate  locating  and  accessing these databases as well as to

            provide an ``overview'' that will help in developing a  sys-

            tematic,  coordinated  approach to designing, developing and

            maintaining these databases.

            Each entry in LiMB currently consists of 57 fields,  includ-

            ing:   database  staff names and addresses; database mainte-

            nance hardware and software; scope of coverage and  database

            goals; details about submission and access to the data sets;

            database size; and types of data covered  by  the  database.

            LiMB  entries  are based on questionnaires filled out by the

            database managers or, in the absence of  a  completed  ques-

            tionnaire,  on  secondary sources (e.g., a journal article).

            LiMB is currently maintained in a relational DBMS.

            LiMB is not available through direct network access.  It can

            be sent via electronic mail.

            The Medieval and Early Modern Data Bank is a  resource  pro-

            ject  established  at Rutgers University and co-sponsored by

            The Resource Libraries Group, Inc.  Its aim  is  to  provide

            scholars  with  a continually expanding reference library of

            information  concerning  the  medieval  and   early   modern

            periods,   circa   A.D.    800-1800.   Because  MEMDB  is  a

            computer-based, electronic reference tool, it offers remark-

            able  facilities  for  immediate  information  retrieval and

            manipulation.

            In 1993 MEMDB will become available in CD-ROM, available  at

            a  modest charge and with regular updates through Rutgers or

            RLG.  Its master data set will be vastly expanded.   MEMDB's

            scope  will extend to virtually any scholarly compilation of

            data that can be presented in a tabular form.  New  material

            to be incorporated will include information on such subjects

            as wages and prices, household  size,  mortality,  property-

            holdings,  charity,  and  nutrition, drawn from such sources

            as:

               o +  taxation records

            SIMBAD is a complete database  for  observational  data  and

            bibliographic references accessible by the name or number of

            the astronomical object. It is nearly complete to  1950  for

            stars and to 1983 for non-stellar objects. It excludes solar

            system objects.  It  contains  information  from  all  major

            astronomical  journals  and  catalogs  and is also useful in

            providing a complete cross-reference of identifications  for

            an  object or for searches of known objects around a coordi-

            nate position.  SAO is the official NASA agent in  the  U.S.

            for  this  resource. The database is maintained in France by

            the Centre de Donnees astronomique de Strasbourg (CDS).  SAO

            provides administrative, network, and user assistance in the

            U.S.

            converted to use IBM 3090  vector  or  parallel  processing.

            The  data  base  is maintained by the Computer Center at the

            University of Illinois at Chicago  with  support  from  IBM.

            Data  provided for each program include the program's appli-

            cation area, name, a  description,  the  environment   under

            which  it  operates, the person to contact for more informa-

            tion and the approximate cost for academic user.   The  pro-

            grams  themselves  are  not available through the data base.

            The data base is referred to as ``supersft'' for ``supercom-

            puting software.''

            form for submission of information.  To receive these files,

            issue the following commands from a VM system on BITNET:

                    tell listserv at uicvm get supersft help  [for the help file]

                    tell listserv at uicvm get supersft index [for the index]

                    tell listserv at uicvm get supersft form  [for the submission form]

            If you do  not  use  a  VM  system,  send  a  standard  note

            addressed  to  ``listserv  at uicvm'' if you're on BITNET or

            ``listserv@uicvm.cc.uic.edu'' if  you're  on  the  Internet.

            The  note  should contain just the appropriate LISTSERV com-

            mands, such as

                    get [filename1 filetype1]

                    get [filename2 filetype2]

            substituting the names of the files of interest.

            Submissions to the data base can be made  either  electroni-

            cally or by mail.  The information submission form is in the

            file named SUPERSFT FORM mentioned above.

            NICOLAS (Network Information Center On Line Aid System) is a

            menu-driven network user help system  that functions both as

            an information server  and an inter-network gateway.   As an

            information  server,  NICOLAS provides  syntaxes for  inter-

            network mail addressing, general information about wide-area

            networks, networking-related  "how to" files, information on

            current NASA missions & projects,  and a variety of network-

            and computer-related information of specific interest to the

            NASA-Goddard community.  As an automated inter-network gate-

            way, NICOLAS  enables users  to log into  their NASAMail and

            GSFCMail accounts, connect directly to a number of other on-

            line  resources,  and  perform  a variety  of "yellow pages"

            functions.

            The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database  (NED)  is  an  ongoing

            project to organize a broad range of published extragalactic

            data into a computer-based central archive designed for fast

            and flexible query via electronic networks.

            The June 1992 version of NED provides positions, names,  and

            basic  data  for more than 200,000 extragalactic objects, as

            well as related  bibliographic  references  and  notes  from

            catalogs  and  other  publications. It forwards to the user,

            upon request, files containing the data retrieved  during  a

            session.   It also allows users to view the contents of some

            major catalogs and to browse the abstracts of  recent  arti-

            cles  of  extragalactic interest from several major journals

            (including A&A, AJ, ApJ, IAU Circulars, MNRAS,  PASP,  their

            Letters  and  Supplements).  The current release also intro-

            duces the capability of searches filtered  by  object  types

            (e.g.  find galaxies only, or exclude infrared sources), and

            provides the first phase of detailed  data  collection  from

            catalogs and the literature.

            NED is an object-oriented database, meaning that all  infor-

            mation  is  organized  around  a master list of astronomical

            objects (such as galaxies, groups of galaxies,  quasars  and

            radio  sources) obtained from detailed cross-identifications

            among some thirty major catalogs.  Additional  catalogs  are

            being  folded  in  continually.   Objects can be selected by

            Unidata is a national program to help  universities  acquire

            weather  data  and  to  analyze  and  display those data for

            teaching and research. The program is funded by the National

            Science Foundation and managed by the University Corporation

            for Atmospheric Research. Unidata negotiates  a  group  con-

            tract  with  a  commercial  data-broadcasting  firm  so that

            universities may receive weather data at a  discount.   Uni-

            data   develops  and  distributes  software  for  capturing,

            analyzing, and displaying those data locally.  Unidata  also

            advocates  on  behalf  of  universities  on  data  issues in

            Federal and other arenas.

            Unidata-developed software includes the Unidata  Local  Data

            Manager  (LDM), which captures real-time weather data from a

            satellite  broadcast,  and  netCDF,  a  network-transparent,

            self-describing  form  for storing scientific data.  The LDM

            is being enhanced to allow users to capture and forward data

            over the Internet.

            Unidata  distributes  applications  software  developed  and

            licensed  by  universities.  These  are  Purdue University's

            Weather Processor (WXP) and the  University  of  Wisconsin's

            McIDAS-OS2  and  McIDAS-X  software.  WXP  and  McIDAS-X are

            UNIX-based applications; McIDAS-OS2 runs on  PS/2  computers

            with the OS/2 operating system. Unidata also distributes and

            supports the UNIX version  of  NASA's  GEMPAK  (for  General

            Archie is a central database for information  about  archive

            sites.  It  speeds the task of finding a specific program on

            the net.  Archie keeps track of UNIX sites; VMS sites may be

            added in the near future.

            Archie is a pair of software tools: the  first  maintains  a

            list  of several hundred Internet ftp archive sites, each of

            which is updated about once a month.  The second tool allows

            outsiders  to  log  onto  the  host  to  query the database.

            Archie also maintains a Software Description Database of the

            names  and  descriptions of various software packages, docu-

            ments, and datasets that are kept on anonymous  ftp  archive

            sites  around  the Internet. The "whatis" command allows you

            to search this database.

            To    access    archie,    "telnet"    or    "rlogin"     to

            "quiche.cs.mcgill.ca"  (132.206.2.3)  as user "archie".  The

            "help" command gives you information about  various  topics,

            including  the  commands available and how to use them.  The

            "raw" listings of ftp sites are stored in compressed form in

            the   directory  "ftp/archie/listings".   Manual  pages  for

            archie are available in the directory "ftp/archie/doc".  The

            file "archie.man.roff" contains a UNIX-style manual entry in

            *roff format; "archie.man.txt" contains the same information

            preformatted for people on non-UNIX systems.

            Users can ask archie to search for  specific  name  strings.

            For  example,  "prog  kcl"  would find all occurences of the

            string "kcl" and tell you which hosts have entries with this

            string, the size of the program, its last modification date,

            where it can be found on the host,  and  some  other  useful

            information.  This example would find archive sites that are

            storing Kyoto Common Lisp.  Complete anonymous ftp  listings

            of sites in the database can be obtained via the "site" com-

            mand; for a list of sites, see the "list" command.

            There is an electronic mail interface to archie.  To receive

            the  latest  information  on  this  interface,  send mail to

            "archie@cs.mcgill.ca" with the word "help"  in  the  subject

            line or body.

            If you can't access the manual files via interactive ftp  or

            the   mail-based   servers,   send  a  message  to  "archie-

            admin@cs.mcgill.ca" asking to receive a copy of  the  manual

            by mail.

            Send   comments,   bug   reports,   etc.    to:     "archie-

            archie doesn't seem to maintain, or if you have additions or

            corrections  to the Software Description Database, send mail

            to: "archie-admin@cs.mcgill.ca".

            "Satellite" archie servers are being set up in  Finland  and

            the  Netherlands  in  order  to lessen the load on the tran-

            satlantic Internet link.

            The maintainers of archie strongly encourage maintainers  of

            anonymous ftp archives to do two things:

            o +    Send additions and corrections to the Software  Distri-

                 bution Database to "archie-admin@cs.mcgill.ca".

            o +    Maintain  compressed,  automated,  recursive   listings

                 (ls-1R.Z  files)  on their machines.  This lessens net-

                 work loads and makes  life  easier  for  archie.   Send

                 queries    for    specific    formats    to    "archie-

                 admin@cs.mcgill.ca".

            week,  the  database  contains some of the most current news

            and analysis available on the region.  Much of the  informa-

            tion  is  assembled from unfiltered news sources originating

            from Latin America, providing an ability  for  organizations

            to  understand  and  monitor  the environments in which they

            have business and research interests.  Currently, the  data-

            base  contains  more than twenty thousand articles-from 1987

            to present-with approximately six  hundred  new  ones  added

            The International Centre for Distance Learning (ICDL)  is  a

            documentation centre based on the campus of the Open Univer-

            sity in the United Kingdom, specializing in  collecting  and

            disseminating  information  on distance education worldwide.

            With a grant from the British Government's Overseas Develop-

            ment  Administration, ICDL has now developed a comprehensive

            computerized database on distance  education  for  the  Com-

            monwealth of Learning.

            The database contains information on :

               o +  Distance-taught programmes and courses  in  the   Com-

                  monwealth (20,000+)

               o +  Distance teaching institutions worldwide (550+)

               o +  Literature  of  distance  education  worldwide  (4000+

                  entries)

            Some of the literature entries contain full text  of  papers

            as well as bibliographic details and abstracts.

            details of literature  in  distance  education  received  in

            ICDL.  This list is available by writing to ICDL. ICDL would

            like to hear about  new  literature  and  from  institutions

            involved in distance teaching. General enquiries may be sent

            The LIDO MAILSERVER for AI literature at the  University  of

            Saarbruecken,  Germany  allows  for the retrieval of biblio-

            graphic information on  AI-related  publications  via  elec-

            tronic  mail.  The references are returned in LaTeX (Bibtex)

            format or in a refer-like format.  As  of  1991,  more  than

            twenty  thousand  documents  are  contained in its database,

            with an annual increase of twenty-five percent.  About  four

            thousand  bibliographic  requests are currently handled each

            year.

            Queries to the  bibliographic  database  may  refer  to  the

            author  name(s),  the  title,  and  the year of publication.

            Substring search and regular expressions (egrep) are  possi-

            ble.   Global  keywords or classification hierarchies cannot

            be accessed.  Users who already have a certain overview of a

            field  will  thus  probably  profit more from the LIDO MAIL-

            SERVER than novices  familiarizing  themselves  with  a  new

            area.

            FEDIX and MOLIS,  online  services  of  Federal  Information

            Exchange,  Inc.,  are  information links between the federal

            government and academia.  They allow "one-stop shopping" for

            the latest information about research and educational oppor-

            tunities from participating agencies and  minority  institu-

            tions.   FEDIX  and MOLIS are easy to use and provide access

            at no cost.

            FEDIX  databases  provide  online  information   on   agency

            research   opportunities,  program  contacts,  scholarships,

            research equipment, procurement notices, and minority oppor-

            tunities.   An  electronic mail feature is also provided for

            users to communicate with the system operators.

            MOLIS databases support the White House Initiative  on  His-

            torically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) by providing

            capability information on 107 HBCUs and 32  Hispanic-Serving

            Institutions  (HSIs)  and universities. This online informa-

            tion includes research centers, facilities, equipment;  pre-

            The EMBL Data Library offers a range of electronic  services

            to the molecular biology research community.

            An electronic mail server and an anonymous ftp server  allow

            access  to  a  large  number  of important data collections,

            including the EMBL nucleotide sequence database, the  SWISS-

            PROT  protein  sequence database, and the Brookhaven protein

            structure database. In addition  to  the  complete  quartely

            releases  of  the  sequence  databases weekly updates of the

            EMBL database are provided for downloading by  ftp.  Indivi-

            dual EMBL database entries can be retrieved using the e-mail

            server, and new entries are made available on a daily basis.

            The Data Library also maintains an archive of free  software

            for  molecular biology. More than 200 different programs are

            currently available for MS-DOS, Vax/VMS, UNIX and  Macintosh

            systems and can be downloaded by e-mail or anonymous ftp.

            New data collections and software are added constantly.

            The FASTA and QuickSearch services enable  remote  users  to

            perform  sequence  similarity  searches against a variety of

            nucleotide and  protein  sequence  databases  maintained  at

            EMBL. Whereas QuickSearch is appropriate for the quick iden-

            tification of very similar database entries, FASTA is better

            The Energy and Climate Information Exchange (ECIX) is a pro-

            ject  of EcoNet aimed at educating the environmental commun-

            ity and the general public on the potential of energy  effi-

            ciency  and  renewable energy to to reduce the use of fossil

            fuels and their contribution to global climate change.   The

            ECIX  File Distribution Service provides a wide selection of

            information, policy statements, newsletters, and other files

            pertaining  to  energy and climate issues.  Contributions of

            pertinent  materials  are  encouraged.   File  listings  are

            updated regularly and the revised file lists are distributed

            via  email  to  subscribers  and  several   environmentally-

            oriented newsgroups and lists.

            The ECIX Project is funded by a grant from the Joyce  Mertz-

            Gilmore Foundation.

                              Chapter 4:  White Pages

            The Internet supports several databases that  contain  basic

            information about users, such as e-mail addresses, telephone

            numbers, and  postal  addresses.   These  databases  can  be

            searched  to  get  information about particular individuals.

            Because they serve a function akin to  the  telephone  book,

            these databases are often referred to as "white pages."

            The Knowbot Information Service is  a  white  pages  ``meta-

            service'' that provides a uniform interface to heterogeneous

            white pages services in the  Internet.   Using  the  Knowbot

            Information  Service,  one  can form a single query that can

            search for white pages information from the NIC  WHOIS  ser-

            vice,  the  RIPE  European white pages service and MCI Mail,

            among others, and have the responses displayed in a  single,

            uniform format.

            Inclusion of additional information  about  an  organization

            with  which  a  person is affiliated enables access to addi-

            tional white pages services  including  the  NYSERNet  X.500

            White  Pages  Pilot  project,  and over 200 finger and whois

            services run by individual organizations.   For  example,  a

            query  about  <droms@bucknell>  will return results from the

            JvNCnet is a  North  East  Research  Regional  Network  with

            direct  access  to  the  NSFNET  backbone.  JvNCnet also has

            international connections to several Scandinavian  countries

            (Norway,  Finland,  Iceland,  Sweden,  and  Denmark) via the

            network's connection to NORDUnet, and to France and Switzer-

            land via the link to INRIA.

            The regional network, the first T-1  (1.544  Mbps)  academic

            network, evolved from the thirteen members of the Consortium

            for Scientific Computing to a  regional  network,  currently

            with  thirty-one  sites concentrated in the Northeast.  When

            the John von Neumann National Supercomputer Center closed in

            April  1990,  JvNCnet  moved its headquarters to, and became

            part of, Princeton University.

            JvNCnet is engineered as a backbone network  where  backbone

            nodes  are  connected  to each other with multiple T1 lines.

            These backbone nodes fan out to connect JvNCnet  members  at

            T1,  fractional  T1  (128 kbps), 56 kbps, 19.2 kbps, and 9.6

            kbps over dedicated and dial-up lines.  Backbone  nodes  are

            located at phone company premises in the cities of Princeton

            (NJ), Trenton (NJ), Philadelphia (PA), Boston  (MA),  Provi-

            dence  (RI), New Haven (CT), New York (NY), and Newark (NJ).

            Member institutions connect to the  closest  backbone  node,

            Los Nettos is a regional network in the Los Angeles area.

            Important features of Los Nettos are that it is  (1)  an  IP

            network,  and  (2) it is ``high speed.'' All connections and

            links are at least T1 (1.5 Mbps) capacity.  A  goal  of  Los

            Nettos is to provide an environment to develop very interac-

            tive network applications.

            Los Nettos is operated by the member organizations,  not  by

            DARPA,  or  NASA,  NSF, or DOE, etc.  It may be used for any

            educational or research purpose.

            The  member  organizations  are  universities  and  research

            laboratories.   The  Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of

            the University of Southern  California  (USC)  acts  as  the

            agent for Los Nettos.

            Nine organizations are already participating in this network

            (ISI, USC, JPL, CalTech, UCLA, TIS, Rand, TRW, and NOSC).  A

            number of  other  research  centers  have  expressed  strong

            interest in participating.

            Los Nettos will interoperate with CERFnet and other networks

            to provide access to special resources (for example, the San

            The Minnesota  Regional  Network  is  a  mid-level  network,

            founded  in  1987 for the purpose of providing access to the

            NSFNET for  organizations  in  the  Minnesota  area.  It  is

            presently established as a nonprofit corporation with active

            participation by member organizations.  Its  mission  is  to

            provide and facilitate the use of computer networks in order

            to enhance  the  high-technology  research  and  educational

            environment,  and  to increase the productivity and competi-

            tiveness of businesses throughout  the  state.  The  primary

            tasks  of MRNet are to promote, facilitate, and support con-

            nectivity; disseminate information  on  computer  networking

            and technologies; pursue connections to other networks; pro-

            vide a forum  for  the  investigation  of  computer  network

            issues;  and contribute to state, national and international

            planning in computer net- works.

            MRNet's  membership  is  made  up  of  public  universities,

            private  colleges,  private research foundations, government

            agencies, and many large and small businesses.

            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.

            NEARnet, the New England Academic and Research Network, is a

            regional  high  speed  data communications network.  NEARnet

            was founded in 1988 by Boston  University,  Harvard  Univer-

            sity,  and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to meet

            a growing need for fast, reliable information exchange.   It

            is  linked to other regional and national networks to create

            a national infrastructure for electronic information.

            NEARnet is a cooperative project  which  continues  to  grow

            very  rapidly.  As of October 1992, NEARnet has grown to 174

            member organizations.  These members include  New  England's

            finest  universities, colleges, technology-based industries,

            government and private agencies.   Since  its  inception  in

            1988,  NEARnet's  management  and  operations  has been con-

            tracted to Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc.

            Utilizing the Internet TCP/IP protocol suite,  NEARnet  sup-

            ports  leased-line  and  microwave links at speeds from 19.2

            Kb/s to 10 Mb/s.  Dialup IP access is also  supported  using

            SLIP  starting  at  9.6 Kb/s.  In addition to technical sup-

            port, consulting, and user information services, the NEARnet

            staff maintains a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week network opera-

            tions center.

            Sesquinet is a regional network in Texas.  It was  organized

            in  1986  specifically  to  fill  the  regional network role

            within the NSFnet scheme.  It has been operational since May

            1987.

            Sesquinet is primarily an IP network, and connects  directly

            to the NSFnet backbone via an NSS at Rice University.

            In cooperation with THEnet we also carry intra-state  DECnet

            Phase IV that can be passed to SPAN/HEPnet.

            Our original and slowest lines are 56kb/s, and these  remain

            the  normative circuit technology for access from individual

            sites.  We are deploying T1 circuits in two ways:

            o +    In cooperation with THEnet, we are building  an  inter-

                 city  redundant  high-speed  backbone.  Initially, this

                 will be a T1 triangle connecting Houston (Rice  Univer-

                 sity),  Austin (the University of Texas at Austin), and

                 Dallas (the University of Texas at Dallas).

            o +    In addition, some individual  sites  are  connected  to

                 this  intercity  backbone  via T1 circuits.  The Baylor

                 College of Medicine is the first to do so.

            Westnet is a regional network with nodes in  the  states  of

            Arizona,  Colorado,  southern  Idaho,  New  Mexico, Utah and

            Wyoming.

            Westnet is a Wide Area Network  operating  at  moderate  (56

            kbps)  and  high  (T-1,  i.e., 1.544 Mbps) data transmission

            capacities, providing connectivity from  end  nodes  to  the

            NSFNet  backbone.  Westnet has connections into the backbone

            at the National Center for Atmospheric  Research  (NCAR)  in

            Boulder,  Colorado,  and  at  the University of Utah in Salt

            Lake City, Utah.  The goal of  Westnet  is  to  provide  the

            regional  infrastructure  to  support research and scholarly

            activity.

            The member organizations are universities, research  labora-

            tories,  and  commercial organizations.  Westnet is governed

            the  seventeen  primary  university  nodes  in the six-state

            region.

            A variety of organizations  already  participating  in  this

            network include: in Colorado: Ford Aerospace, the US Depart-

            ment of Agriculture, and US West Communications;  in  Idaho:

            the  Idaho  National  Engineering Laboratory; in New Mexico:

            the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, the Apache  Peak  Observa-

            tory,  the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the National Sun-

            spot Observatory, Rockwell International, and the  Santa  Fe

            Institute; and in Utah: the UMC Research Station.

            Westnet interoperates with the state networking agencies of:

            AriZona  Telecommunications Educational Cooperative (AZTEC),

            Colorado SuperNet  (CSN),  and  New  Mexico  Technet  (NMT).

            State  networking  organizations  are  presently  being con-

            sidered in Idaho and Utah.   Westnet  interacts  with  these

            state  networks  to provide access to special resources (for

            example, the NSF Phase  II  Supercomputer  Centers)  and  to

            other  regional  networks  (for example, Northwestnet in the

            northwestern region of the United States).

            The NASA Science Network (NSN) is an IP network  which  sup-

            ports scientists and flight projects funded by NASA's Office

            of Space Science and Applications  (OSSA).  The  network  is

            used  to  provide  remote access to such resources as scien-

            tific databases and supercomputing centers.  The  NSN  main-

            tains  hubs at several NASA centers which are interconnected

            in a partial mesh topology. These backbone sites use terres-

            trial  circuits  ranging in speed from 168 to 672 Kbps. From

            these hubs radiate numerous tail circuits; the  majority  of

            these tails are 56 Kbps, with a few at 9.6 Kbps as well.

            The NSN was designed to provide NASA's  scientific  communi-

            ties with a more general networking approach that would pro-

            vide  full  networking  services  in  a   vendor-independent

            environment. These services include file transfer and remote

            logon as well as email.

            NSN is a NASA-wide  network  managed  by  the  NASA  Science

            Internet  Project Office (NSIPO) at Ames Research Center. It

            is used for NASA-funded space science research programs  and

            flight projects.

            Users  include  NASA  sites,  and   government   facilities,

            research,   and   academic   sites   conducting  NASA-funded

            research.

            PREPnet is a mid-level data network in the  Commonwealth  of

            Pennsylvania.  It was initiated through the joint efforts of

            the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government, Bell  Telephone

            of  Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania consortium of univer-

            sities:  Carnegie  Mellon  University,  Drexel   University,

            Lehigh University, Penn State Universtiy, Temple University,

            the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Pitts-

            burgh.   Chartered  in 1988, PREPnet's purpose is to facili-

            tate education, research, technology transfer, and  economic

            development within the state.

            The Commonwealth is  the  inter-LATA  carrier  and  Bell  of

            Pennsylvania  is  the  network  operator/  owner  of the hub

            equipment and  marketing  agent  for  network  access.   The

            Pittsburgh  Supercomputing  Center  provides  supercomputing

            resources and a gateway to the NSFNET.  Member  institutions

            have  made  a  variety of information resources available on

            PREPnet,  such  as  university  library  catalogs,  bulletin

            boards,  and various databases containing statistical, agri-

            cultural, demographic, economic, and medical data.

            SURAnet, the Southeastern Universities Research  Association

            Network, is a project of SURA, the Southeastern Universities

            Research Assocation. SURA is a  consortium  of  universities

            which  supports, manages, and operates projects too large or

            complex to be handled by a single university.

            SURAnet, a TCP/IP network, is one of  the  NSFNET  mid-level

            networks.  Connectivity  is  provided  via a T-1 backbone of

            co-located equipment  housed  in  MCI  points  of  presence.

            Future plans include migration to a T-3 backbone.

            SURAnet is connected to the  NSFNET  backbone  and  provides

            facilities for the FIX-East connections.

            SURAnet's geographic area includes the District of  Columbia

            and  13  states  in  the southeastern US: Alabama, Delaware,

            Florida, Georgia,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maryland,  Missis-

            sippi,  North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,

            and West Virginia.

            While SURA, the parent  organization,  is  a  consortium  of

            academic  organizations,  SURAnet  members comprise approxi-

            mately two-thirds academic institutions and  one-third  non-

            academic sites.

            NORDUnet is a collaboration between  the  national  research

            networks  in  Denmark,  Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

            Its purpose is to provide the national research  and  educa-

            tion  communities with an efficient networking service which

            ensures coherence of the national R & D  networks  and  con-

            nects  these  to  similar networks in the rest of Europe and

            the world.

            NORDUnet is organized as a consortium agreement between  the

            national  networks  DENet,  FUNET, SUNET, SURIS and UNINETT.

            The administration is an integral part of UNI-C in Denmark.

            NORDUnet has contracted its  work  mainly  to  the  national

            organizations.   The network operations center has been con-

            tracted to KTH/SUNET. It is their responsibility to  monitor

            the  service,  configure  the  Cisco routers (IP) as well as

            coordinate operational issues.   The  X.25  operations  have

            been  contracted  to UNINETT and DECNET operations to UNI-C.

            Overall  technical  coordination  has  been  contracted   to

            VTKK/FUNET.

            NORDUnet has five points of presence, one  in  each  of  the

            Nordic countries.

            NORDUnet provides IP, DECNET, X.25 and  CLNS  layer  3  ser-

            vices, in this order of volume. NORDUnet leases bandwidth in

            form raw lines and adds value by providing the network layer

            protocols  in  a coordinated fashion with equipment operated

            through various contracts.  The national networks which  are

            the  NORDUnet  customers  see  it as a "NORDUnet plug" which

            provides different service "pins".

            NJE traffic is transported over TCP/IP. The CLNS  (including

            DECNET Phase V) pilot traffic is carried by the same Cisco's

            as the production traffic.   The  external  connections  are

            mainly  based  on  Cisco  routers. NORDUnet runs IP and CLNS

            protocols to the US and IP, CLNS and DECNET  IV  to  Europe.

            X.25 connectivity to Europe is provided via a direct connec-

            tion to the IXI network.

            There are app. 60.000 IP hosts, 5000 DECnet hosts,  and  100

            EARN  hosts  in the Nordic national networks that are inter-

            connected  by  NORDUnet.   NORDUnet  connects  the  national

            Nordic  networks  to  Internet, Ebone, EASInet, EARN/BITNET,

            EUnet, HEPnet, SPAN and IXI.

            The Terrestrial Wideband Network was built and  deployed  by

            BBN  STC  as  a  part  of  the  initial phase of the Defense

            Research Internet (DRI).  In May 1989, this network replaced

            the  Satellite Wideband Network, which had been in operation

            for the previous 8 years.   The  Satellite  Wideband  was  a

            domestic  3 Mbit/sec network that had been used for research

            into the use of packet satellite technology  to  efficiently

            support  applications  with  varying  delay, throughput, and

            reliability requirements, e.g., interconnection  of  distri-

            buted  operating  system clusters, development of end-to-end

            bulk transfer protocols, multimedia conferencing,  intercon-

            nection  real-time  interactive simulation/training systems.

            The Terrestrial Wideband continues this tradition  by  using

            one  of  the cross-country T1 trunks from the DARPA National

            Networking Testbed (NNT) to support research in  high  speed

            networking,  to  provide  connectivity  among  academic  and

            government sites, and to support a testbed for Internet pro-

            tocol  development  and  experimentation  with applications.

            Currently this network is  carrying  cross-country  Internet

            datagram  traffic associated with DARPA-funded projects.  It

            also supports a research  environment  for  multimedia  con-

            ferencing  and voice/video conferencing using gateways which

            use a real-time connection oriented protocol over a  connec-

            tionless network.

            Access to the Terrestrial Wideband is typically via an IP or

            ST  gateway.  Connection of such a host is at the discretion

            of DARPA.  The current network includes the following  Wide-

            band  Packet  Switches (WPS) and user sites -- BBN (BBN), NY

            (RADC), Washington (DARPA, NRL), Chicago (NCSA),  LA  (ISI),

            SRI  (SRI,  Stanford).   This fall, Ft Monmouth will be con-

            nected to the NY WPS and CMU will be connected to a  WPS  to

            be installed in Pittsburgh.

            The Terrestrial Wideband Network is to be  used  for  DARPA-

            funded  research  and development activities of the Internet

            community.  Users typically access the network via  gateways

            which have Internet connectivity to the Terrestrial Wideband

            Network.  Applications which might  benefit  most  from  the

            Terrestrial  Wideband  Network  are those which require high

            bandwidth and/or low delay  between  geographically  distant

            sites,  such  as bulk file transfer, remote procedure calls,

            conferencing, graphic simulations, and distributed operating

            systems.

            a) System and Network Architecture

                 The  Terrestrial  Wideband  is   currently   a   trans-

                 continental network built on T1 trunks belonging to the

                 National Networking Testbed (NNT).  The Wideband packet

                 switch  nodes  (WPSs)  are  located  at  unattended NNT

                 Points of Presence (POPs).  They are based on Butterfly

                 multiprocessor  hardware  and  are connected via the T1

                 fiberoptic trunks into a backbone  configuration.   The

                 WPSs  pass  network traffic using the Dual Bus Protocol

                 reservation scheme.  Local area networks at user sites,

                 e.g.,  ethernets,  are connected to the backbone packet

                 switches via Internet IP and ST gateways  and  T1  tail

                 circuits.

                 The current topology of  the  network,  which  resulted

                 from  external  constraints,  is  a  series  of  packet

                 switches connected in a line by T1  trunks.   This  can

                 result in partitioning of the network in the event of a

                 packet switch failure.  To minimize outages,  the  Ter-

                 restrial   Wideband   Network   includes  a  number  of

                 features.  The  multiprocessor  hardware  configuration

                 used  for the packet switch provides redundancy in case

            September 27, 1989          NNSC       Section 5.21,  Page 2

                 a processor node fails.  Also, a failsafe box  isolates

                 the WPS upon detection of an outage while continuing to

                 maintain connectivity between the T1 trunks in and  out

                 of the failed WPS, thus maintaining network continuity.

                 The network also allows remote  dial-in  access  for  a

                 number of emergency functions that would otherwise have

                 to be performed by on-site staff.

            b) Operations

                 A remote monitoring  center  provides  network  control

                 capabilities,  and  a dialup capability provides backup

                 monitoring and control when necessary.  The Terrestrial

                 Wideband  Network packet switch software can be updated

                 via remote downloading.  Network operations support  is

                 provided between 8AM and 8PM Eastern time.

            c) Protocols

                 - TCP/IP traffic is supported by the Terrestrial  Wide-

                 band  Network.   This is accomplished by using standard

                 Internet gateways.

                 - Stream Protocol (ST) protocol (based on IEN  119)  is

                 used   between   gateways   which  support  voice/video

                 traffic.  This is a connection-oriented protocol  which

                 operates  over  the connectionless Terrestrial Wideband

                 Network, and allows the gateways  to  send  packets  to

                 other  destinations  with minimal delay, as is required

                 for voice/video conferencing.

                 - Gateways communicate with  the  Terrestrial  Wideband

                 Network  packet  switches   (WPSs)  via the Host Access

                 Protocol (HAP), specified in RFC 907-A.  This is a pro-

                 tocol  by  which  a  host can send datagrams across the

                 network, and can request and manage network bandwidth.

                 -  The  WPS  software  provides  an  echo  host   which

                 responds  to  ICMP ping  packets.

                 - Dual Bus Protocol  provides  a  link-level  transport

                 protocol  which uses a reservation mechanism to provide

                 access fairness for each WPS.  This is a type  of  Dis-

                 tributed  Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) protocol similar to the

                 IEEE 802.6 Metropolitan Area  Network  (MAN)  protocol,

                 but with features that support wide area networking and

                 multimedia conferencing.  Whereas  conventional  packet

                 store  and forwarding would involve per packet forward-

                 ing processing  and  buffering  at  every  intermediate

            September 27, 1989          NNSC       Section 5.21,  Page 3

                 node, a DQDB protocol performs processing and buffering

                 only at the entry point and  minimizes  the  processing

                 and buffering at subsequent nodes along the trunk until

                 the exit point.

                 - Wideband Monitoring Protocol (IP protocol number  78)

                 is used between the WPSs and the monitoring center.

            The ICBNet establishes Internet links  between  the  ARPANET

            and  cooperating  groups  of  researchers within NATO sites,

            providing transit service and a testbed for  joint  NATO  C3

            and interoperability experiments.  These links have replaced

            the old SATNET (Atlantic Packet Satellite Network)  service.

            Point-to-point trans-Atlantic service between the US and the

            UK and between the US and Italy connects  the  ARPANET  with

            local  networks at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment

            (RSRE) and the University College London (UCL), both in  the

            UK,  and at the Italian National Research Council (CNUCE) in

            Italy.   The  Norwegian  Telecommunications   Administration

            Research  Establishment  (NTARE)  accesses  the  network via

            RSRE.  Connections to the SHAPE Technical  Centre  (STC)  in

            the  Netherlands and the Warrior Preparation Center (WPC) in

            West Germany will be added within the next few months.

            The US-to-Europe links are provided via full  duplex  64kbps

            connections  between  a  Butterfly Gateway located at BBN in

            Cambridge, and the Butterfly Gateway at  RSRE,  and  between

            the  Butterfly  Gateway  at DARPA in Arlington, Va., and the

            Butterfly Gateway at CNUCE.

            CONCERT  (COmmunications  for  North   Carolina   Education,

            Research,  and  Technology)  is a private telecommunications

            network owned and operated by the Center for  Communications

            at MCNC to interconnect universities, research institutions,

            graduate  centers,  non-profit   organizations,   government

            laboratories,  and  industries in North Carolina, permitting

            timely participation in  research  and  education  projects.

            The  CONCERT Network Operations Center is located at MCNC in

            Research Triangle Park.

            CONCERT is actually two networks; one  for  video,  one  for

            data.   Both  are  carried  over CONCERT's private microwave

            facilities that span 453 path miles from  Asheville  in  the

            west to Greenville in the east.

            CONCERT OBJECTIVES

               o +  Provide and operate an advanced communications network

                  for research and education.

               o +  Build a collaborative university and industry program.

               o +  Serve as a test bed for next-generation  services  and

                  systems.

            September 1, 1992           NNSC       Section 5.23,  Page 1

               o +  Participate in the deployment of National Research and

                  Education Network (NREN) for North Carolina.

               o +  Develop high-performance  capabilities  in  visualiza-

                  tion, supercomputing, and distributed systems.

            VIDEO NETWORK

            CONCERT utilizes two duplex analog NTSC video channels  that

            function  as a multi-way, interactive videoconferencing net-

            work  to  encourage  research,  education,  and   technology

            transfer.   An  additional duplex video channel connects the

            state's four medical schools.  The interactive  video  chan-

            nels  provide face-to-face communications capabilities among

            all institutions.  Each institution has videoconference  and

            video teleclass facilities.

            Specific programs and applications include:

               o +  videoconferencing  capabilities  for  researchers  and

                  faculty;

               o +  graduate and extension courses in a variety of discip-

                  lines;

               o +  seminars in supercomputing and high-performance compu-

                  tation;

               o +  research collaborations among members of the  research

                  community;

               o +  scientific and technical seminars and workshops; and

               o +  medical courses and programs.

            Sixty percent of the available video network time is  booked

            for  courses  and  regularly  scheduled  seminars,  with the

            remaining time reserved for meetings and conferences.   This

            open  time  provides researchers and faculty the opportunity

            to meet as required with little prior notice.

            DATA NETWORK

            The CONCERT data network functions  as  a  mid-level  TCP/IP

            network  providing  access  to the INTERNET, a collection of

            data networks across the nation  and  world  interconnecting

            universities,  government  agencies,  national laboratories,

            September 1, 1992           NNSC       Section 5.23,  Page 2

            non-profit research organizations,  and  industry.   Through

            CONCERT,  North  Carolina researchers from academia, govern-

            ment, and industry have access to these resources as well as

            electronic  mail  and USENET news for communications, learn-

            ing, and collaboration with colleagues.

            The CONCERT network is built from an interconnected  collec-

            tion  of  IP routers spanning the state.  T3 links are util-

            ized for the Triangle campuses; T1 circuits for institutions

            outside  the  Triangle area.  More than 10,000 computers and

            workstations are interconnected across North Carolina.

            CONCERT-CONNECT

            CONCERT-CONNECT, a program of the MCNC Center for Communica-

            tions,  provides  North  Carolina businesses and industry an

            opportunity to gain access to state  and  national  research

            and  education  resources  through  the  INTERNET.  CONCERT-

            CONNECT can provide a company a significant competitive edge

            in research and development.

            Businesses and industry interested in connecting to  CONCERT

            can  use the network for collaboration, research, and educa-

            tion.  Network connection  provides  users  with  access  to

            email, bulletin boards, various databases, and other network

            and institutional resources.  Connection to CONCERT  can  be

            achieved  by  direct  network  connection  at  56 Kbps or T1

            speeds, or by three  dial-up  modem  services:  Serial  Line

            Internet  Protocol  (SLIP);   individual UNIX accounts; UUCP

            Mail/News.

            COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH

            The primary purpose of the research activities is to  lever-

            age the evolution of CONCERT to support advanced educational

            uses of the network and  communications  research  in  North

            Carolina.   The existing network and established userbase is

            utilized as a testbed, and the  focus  of  the  research  is

            joint activities among MCNC, the universities, and industry.

            Projects tend to emphasize use of standard network technolo-

            gies,   supercomputing   communications   applications,  and

            methods to use networking to enable collaboration by provid-

            ing virtual proximity capabilities.

            Currently Funded Projects:

               o +  Atila-development of  a  prototype  network  analysis-

                  evaluation-management system for Asynchronous Transfer

            SWITCH is a foundation, sponsored by the government and  the

            Swiss  universities,  providing  teleinformatics services to

            all Swiss universities and to various research institutes by

            connecting  to  national and international resources. SWITCH

            started operation in October 1988.

            SWITCHlan is a national backbone network which connects  all

            universities   using   leased   lines  with  speeds  between

            128 kbit/s  and   2 Mbit/s.   Most  other  organizations are

            connected  via  64 kbit/sec.   For routing on these national

            leased  lines  SWITCH  uses  CISCO  routers.  The  protocols

            supported are DECnet, TCP/IP, X.25 and ISO CLNS.

            All three Swiss supercomputers are connected  to  SWITCHlan.

            Access to some library catalogs is already available; others

            will join later.

            International  connections  on   the   network   level  went

            into operation in January 1990. The current state today is:

               o +  Two lines with TCP/IP to CERN, each  2  Mbit/s.   This

                  gives access to the European part of the  Internet and

                  access to the NSFnet via the EASIgate T1 link to  Cor-

                  nell.

            BARRNet is the  Northern  California  regional  hub  of  the

            NSFNet,  the National Science Foundation Network.  BARRNet's

            purpose is to facilitate scientific and educational communi-

            cations  using high-performance computer networking technol-

            ogy and wide-area telecommunications utilities, and to  pro-

            mote  collaboration, sharing of information, and wide access

            to computer resources for research and educational purposes.

            BARRNet  was  established in 1986 under a grant from the NSF

            by a consortium of six  members:  Stanford  University,  the

            NASA Ames Research Center, and the Berkeley, Santa Cruz, San

            Francisco, and Davis campuses of the University of  Califor-

            nia.   Since then BARRNet has grown to include several addi-

            tional government and private research laboratories and more

            than twenty-five corporate affiliates.

            Four BARRNet sites-UC  Berkeley,  Stanford  University,  the

            Lawrence  Livermore  National  Laboratory, and NASA Ames-are

            connected in a ring by data circuits  running  at  T1  speed

            (1.544  Mbps).   UC Davis, which is connected to UC Berkeley

            by a T1 line, is also considered a core site;  the remaining

            sites  are  connected to one of the core sites, typically by

            T1 or 56kbps lines, but in some cases by microwave or direct

            Ethernet (10 Mbps) connections.  BARRNet is connected to the

            NSFNET by an NSS  (Nodal  Switching  Subsystem)  located  at

            Stanford  University.   Stanford  is  also  the  site of the

            BARRNet Network Operating Center, or NOC.

            Beginning in April of 1990, BARRNet's membership  fees  will

            be  adjusted  to  reflect  size and type of organization, as

            well as connection speed.  Also during the spring and summer

            of  1990,  BARRNet will be implementing low-speed (9600 bps)

            dedicated line services,  with  dial-up  services  available

            shortly thereafter.

            An  Administrative  Committee   oversees   BARRNet   policy,

            finances,  and  general  operations.   A Technical Committee

            advises the Administrative Committee, and  oversees  day-to-

            day operations such as routing.

            of a not-for-profit  member's  research  or  instruction  is

            acceptable.   Use  of  BARRNet  for  scientific  research or

            instruction at for-profit affiliate sites may or may not  be

            consistent  with  the  purposes  of  BARRNet,  and  will  be

            reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  Commercial uses  such  as

            billing or advertising are prohibited.

            NorthWestNet (NWNet) is a mid-level network of the  National

            Science Foundation Network (NSFNET).  NWNet provides commun-

            ication with NSFNET  for  research  centers  throughout  the

            Northwest,  including sites in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North

            Dakota, Oregon, and Washington.  The network  supports  both

            IP and DECnet within NWNet, but access to the NSFNET is res-

            tricted to IP only.  A primary focus of NWNet  is  providing

            access  by  researchers  in  the Northwest to supercomputing

            resources.

            ton.   The  network  is currently implemented using a mix of

            T1, 56 Kb/s, and voice grade (19.2 Kb/s) leased lines  in  a

            mostly-tree topology.

            NWNet is funded by a grant from the National Science Founda-

            tion   and  by  membership  fees.   A  Management  Committee

            comprised largely of representatives from the member  insti-

            tutions  governs  NWNet.   Other  committees that advise the

            Management Committee include the Technical Committee and the

            Training  Committee (a subcommittee of the Technical Commit-

            tee).

            Several member institutions have large computers  accessible

            via  the  Internet.   For example, there are two Cray XMP/48

            computers at NWNet sites (Boeing and Battelle).  Some  other

            resources  available to NWNet members include:  a mail gate-

            way machine, relay.cac.washington.edu, which can route  mail

            between  the  Internet,  BITNET,  CSNET,  and UUCP networks;

            Internet access to  the  University  of  Washington  library

            (janus.uoregon.edu); and the University of  Washington  Com-

            puting  Information  Center  (CIC), which has more than 8000

            books,  1200  serial  titles,  and  8500  technical  reports

            related to computing.

            NWNet sponsors a yearly seminar highlighting  the  resources

            and  services  of  NWNet,  as  well  as  discipline-specific

            workshops for interested researchers currently using  super-

            computers  or  contemplating such use.  We also maintain and

            distribute a training kit containing a manual and  videotape

            geared  toward  training  user-services personnel in TCP/IP,

            the use of  NWNet,  national  networks,  and  supercomputing

            resources.

            SUNET, or  the  Swedish  University  Network,  interconnects

            local  and  regional networks at universities in Sweden. The

            goal of SUNET is to provide good  data  communications  that

            are  beneficial to the universities.  The network is used by

            researchers and teachers of all disciplines.  SUNET provides

            Swedish  academic  and research users with network resources

            for communications both within Sweden and around  the  world

            through  electronic  mail,  remote login, file transfer, and

            other methods.

            SUNET is a protocol-independent network  based  on  Ethernet

            (IEEE  802.3) interconnections. Currently only IP and DECnet

            (and EARN) are carried over the backbone. The  configuration

            of  SUNET  is  a  backbone  star  network centered at KTH in

            Stockholm with 64 kbps lines interconnecting the local  Eth-

            ernets  to one nation wide Ethernet. The lines are intercon-

            nected via remote bridges (Vitalink). Routers  are  used  to

            support  the  various  protocols: Cisco for IP and VAXes for

            DECnet (and EARN). SUNET also maintains a separate X.25 net-

            work.

            There are two interconnected  central  mail  hubs,  one  for

            IP/SMTP, RSCS/BSMTP and VMS/Mail and one for EAN/X.400 mail.

            There are (at least) 3000 IP hosts and 650 DECnets in SUNET.

            The Texas Higher Education Network (THEnet)  was  formed  in

            1986  through  a  combination of networking efforts at Texas

            A&M University, the University of Houston, the University of

            Texas  Health Science Center at San Antonio, and the Univer-

            sity of Texas System.  It covers the state of Texas, with  a

            link  to  the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores

            de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico.  THEnet's goal is to pro-

            vide  and  advance the electronic exchange of information in

            support of the teaching, research, development, and  related

            collaborative  activities  of the Texas higher education and

            research communities.

            THEnet is not a homogeneous network utilizing a single  net-

            working  protocol.   Rather it is a network of physical con-

            nections between and within organizations making various use

            of  IP,  DECnet, SNA, RSCS/NJE, and compressed digital video

            It provides researchers, faculty, and students the  network-

            ing  "tools" that they need for their particular situations.

            THEnet currently connects over 80 institutions, and consists

            University in Houston.  THEnet is  connected  to  the  Space

            Physics  Analysis  Network  (SPAN)  by DECnet routers at the

            University of Texas at Austin and NASA Johnson Space Center.

            Access  to  ESnet and HEPnet (ESnet-DECnet) is also provided

            through UT Austin,  an  ESnet  backbone  site.   THEnet  has

            external BITNET connectivity provided by Rice University via

            connections to the  University  of  Missouri  and  Louisiana

            State University and by their participation in the BITNET II

            project (NJE over the TCP/IP-based Internet).

            ILAN, the Israeli Academic Network, established in 1984,  is

            dedicated  to  universities  and academic, medical, and non-

            profit research institutes.  The network is widely used  for

            scientific,  educational,  academic,  and research purposes:

            commercial and political use is not allowed, either directly

            or indirectly.

            ILAN has installed six 64kb lines to create a central  high-

            speed  backbone  between  Israel's seven major universities.

            ILAN has international connections to EARN and Nysernet.

            ILAN's former NJE traffic and all EARN/Bitnet  network  ser-

            vices  now  run  on  ILAN's TCP/IP backbone.  We plan a 56kb

            link  to  Nysernet  (the  New  York  State  Educational  and

            Research  Network),  a  regional  network  of NSFNET (the US

            National Science Foundation Network).  In the interim,  ILAN

            will connect to Nysernet via a 9.6kb IP link.

            Our backbone supports "Aleph," a project for the  computeri-

            zation  and  interconnection  of all university library card

            catalogs, which is near to completion.  This  system  allows

            students  and  faculty  to  search  card  catalogs  at local

            university libraries as well as libraries located  at  other

            universities within Israel.  Since this system was developed

            long before  the  ILAN  project,  it  was  based  on  DECNET

            ESnet is a computer data communications network managed  and

            funded by the Department of Energy Office of Energy Research

            (DOE/OER) for the  purpose  of  supporting  open  scientific

            research in multiple programs.  ESnet is intended to facili-

            tate access to resources at  ER  scientific  facilities,  to

            provide  for information dissemination among scientific col-

            laborators  throughout  all  ER  programs,  and  to  provide

            widespread  access  to existing supercomputer facilities via

            remote login, electronic mail, file  transfer,  and  related

            utilities.

            ESnet is installed  and  operated  by  the  National  Energy

            Supercomputer Center (NERSC), formerly known as the National

            Magnetic Fusion Energy Computer Center  (NMFECC),  which  is

            located  at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in

            California.  ESnet policy is guided by  the  ESnet  Steering

            Committee, appointed by the DOE Office of Scientific Comput-

            ing, with representatives from each of the  Energy  Research

            Programs.   The ESnet program plan, prepared by this commit-

            tee, is available from the  National  Technical  Information

            Service as report DOE/ER-0341 (June 1987).

            The ESnet backbone consists of largely of  T1  links  (1.544

            megabit  per  second)  interconnecting nineteen sites in the

            United States.  Network access to Europe and Japan  is  also

            supplied  in collaboration with foreign research facilities.

            The California Education and  Research  Federation  Network,

            CERFnet,  is  a  data  communications  regional network that

            operates throughout California.  The purpose of  CERFnet  is

            to  advance  science  and  education by assisting the inter-

            change of information among research and educational  insti-

            tutions through high-speed data communications techniques.

            CERFnet was launched in the spring of 1989 with a $2.8  mil-

            lion  grant  from  the National Science Foundation.  CERFnet

            links fifty of the leading research and education centers in

            California  at  data  transfer rates of up to 1.544 megabits

            per second (T1).  The CERFnet backbone nodes are located  at

            UCLA,  UC  Irvine,  SDSC,  Caltech, and the UC Office of the

            President in Oakland,  California.   CERFnet  membership  is

            open  to  all  organizations  in  California,  including any

            university, college, industrial or government facility, hos-

            pital, or library.

            CERFnet offers several different connection options.  A CERF

            1544  (1.544 Mbps), CERF 56 (56 kbps) or CERF 9.6 (9.6 kbps)

            entitles the  subscriber  to  a  dedicated  leased  circuit.

            CERFnet  offers  DIAL N' CERF, a dial-up SLIP service to the

            network.  DIAL N' CERF subscribers connect to the network by

            dialing  up  the  nearest  backbone node and logging on to a

            CERFnet terminal server.

            SprintMail,  which  allows  messages to be exchanged between

            SprintMail customers and Internet  users.   The  gateway  is

            connected  to  Sprintnet and to the Internet through Merit's

            connections to the NSFNET.

            SprintMail, operated by Sprint International, is  a  commer-

            cial  X.400 electronic mail network providing services to US

            customers and access  to  other  networks  domestically  and

            internationally.   Formerly  known  as  Telemail, SprintMail

            uses the Sprintnet (formerly Telenet)  public  data  network

            for its e-mail connections.

            Merit  provides  hardware  and  software   maintenance   and

            administration and network operations (via the Merit Network

            Operations Center) for the Internet gateway; Sprint provides

            Sprintnet connectivity and user consulting and registration,

            as well as gateways to other X.400 networks.

            The gateway is a Sun SPARCstation-I running Sun OS 4.0.3 and

            Sunlink  MHS.  An X.25 link to Sprintnet is connected to the

            Sun's serial port at 9600 bps.   Protocols  used  are  X.400

            Message  Handling  System,  X.225 session layer, X.224 tran-

            sport class 0, and X.25. On the Internet  side,  the  Simple

            Mail Transfer Protocol (RFC-822), Transfer Control Protocol,

            Internet Protocol, and Ethernet protocols are used.

            The  gateway  supports  a  directory  function  that  allows

            SprintMail  customers  to be registered with a mnemonic name

            which can be used  by  Internet  users  when  sending  mail.

            SprintMail  users  who  wish  to register can contact Sprint

            Customer Service.

            Merit provides domain name service for the SPRINT.COM domain

            as  well  as  for  some  other  domains  on  behalf  of some

            SprintMail customers.  For example, the COMPMAIL.COM  domain

            is owned by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic

            Engineering) Computer Society but is operated  by  Merit  as

            part of the gateway function.

            From the Internet to SprintMail

            To  use  the  gateway,  an  Internet  user  can  specify   a

            registered SprintMail alias name, in the form:

                 John.Doe@Sprint.COM

            Alternatively, the full X.400 Originator/Recipient (OR) name

            can be specified, (all on one line), for example:

                 /pn=John.Doe/admd=Telemail/o=Sprintintl/c=us/@Sprint.COM

            The  Internet  host  name  after  the  at-sign,  @,  can  be

            SPRINT.COM or another domain supported by the Merit gateway.

            X.400  OR  names  consist  of a list of parameters and their

            values.  X.400 parameters in OR names that can  be  used  by

            the SprintMail gateway include:

            ADMD    Administrative Management Domain

            PRMD    Private Management Domain

            PN      Personal Name

            G       Given Name

            S       Surname

            DD.UN   User Name (DD is "Domain Defined")

            O       Organization

            C       Country (two-letter abbreviations must be used, for example, US, GB, JP)

            From SprintMail to the Internet

            When sending mail from the SprintMail X.400  environment  to

            the  Internet,  the  native  syntax  of  the sender's system

            should be used.  Use an "ADMD" of TELEMAIL, "PRMD" of INTER-

            NET  and  "Country"  of US, along with the "RFC-822" "domain

            September 22, 1990          NNSC       Section 5.35,  Page 2

            defined" attribute  to  specify  the  user's  Internet  mail

            address.  For example, to send mail from the SprintMail sys-

            tem   to    an    Internet    user    whose    address    is

            jdoe@engin.college.edu, type (all on one line):

                 (Site:Internet,ID:<jdoe(a)engin.college.edu>)

            The angle brackets "< >" are required.  The  "(a)"  replaces

            the  at-sign, @, because that and most other special charac-

            ters are illegal as specified in RFC  987,  which  makes  it

            necessary  to  substitute "(u)" for underscore, _, "(b)" for

            bang (exclamation point), !, "(q)" for a quotation mark,  ",

            and "(p)" for percent, %.

            Resolving Problems

            If a message sent across the gateway  cannot  be  delivered,

            the  gateway will send a return message to notify the sender

            of nondelivery.  That notification message will explain  the

            problem  with  the  mail address.  If you have further ques-

            tions, call or send e-mail to Sprint Customer Service.

            government  affiliates  with  the  San  Diego  Supercomputer

            Center (SDSC) and, by extension, with NSFNET.

            Participating organizations may use  the  network  to  login

            remotely  to  SDSC's  supercomputer,  parallel machines, and

            visualization resources;  transfer files; send  and  receive

            electronic  mail;  and connect to other resources on NSFNET.

            Some organizations also receive  software  support.   If  an

            organization's  network  device(s) support(s) SNMP, the link

            is monitored for outages 24 hours/day seven days/week.

            _ N_ e_ t_ w_ o_ r_ k _ A_ c_ c_ e_ s_ s

            Connections to SDSCnet are dedicated links primarily  at  56

            Kbps  and  T1  speeds  using the TCP/IP or DECnet protocols.

            (OSI protocols will be added when  they  become  available.)

            Links  to  BITNET  are  also available for institutions that

            wish it and that qualify as members of CREN.

            industrial,  or  government  organization not otherwise con-

            nected to NSFNET that seeks such  a  connection.   The  cost

            depends  on the preferred speed, network device, protocol of

            the connection, and the types of services required.

            CSUNET (California State University Network) spans the state

            of  California.  Its membership consists of the twenty Cali-

            fornia State University campuses, five California  Community

            Colleges, and the California Department of Education.

            CSUNET has four T1 connection points with the Internet,  two

            with  BARRNet  (Stanford and UC Davis), one with CERFnet (UC

            Irvine) and one with SDSCnet/CERFnet (SDSC). CSUNET also has

            X.25  packet connections to SprintNet and 9600-baud X.25 and

            Telnet dial-up access for  limited  CSU-sponsored  programs.

            Between  the  CSU  campuses,  CSUNET  also  supports DECnet,

            Appletalk, and SNA, along with TCP/IP.

            In 1988, partial funding was received from the National Sci-

            ence  Foundation  for cisco routers.  Today, however, CSUNET

            is funded entirely by the State of California in support  of

            K-12, community college, and university-level education.

            Logical and geographic maps of CSUNET  are  located  in  the

            csunet/maps subdirectory at "nic.csu.net" (130.150.102.20).

            WiscNet is a nonprofit association that provides  access  to

            national  network  resources  for  higher education institu-

            tions, mostly in the state of Wisconsin.  The  primary  pur-

            pose  of  WiscNet  is  to  provide  access  to the Internet.

            WiscNet provides no direct services to end users, but rather

            acts as a conduit to the resources of the Internet and makes

            possible interchange of information  using  electronic  mail

            and network news.

            WiscNet is governed by a board of  directors  consisting  of

            one member from each charter member institution plus the NSF

            proposal investigators.  The board is reponsible for setting

            broad operating policy, establishing direction, establishing

            membership categories, and  assessing  membership  fees.   A

            Network Planning Committee works with the operating agent on

            network design issues.

            The Madison Academic Computing Center at the UW-Madison pro-

            vides  day-to-day  operational  support  for  WiscNet.  This

            includes a Network Operation Center  that  provides  problem

            reporting  and resolution services 24 hour a day, 365 days a

            year.

            WiscNet operates a  packet-switched  network  consisting  of

            routers  connected  by  T1  (1.544  Mbps)  and DDS (56 Kbps)

            communications lines.  This  network  is  connected  to  the

            national network at UW-Madison by two T1 lines.

            The network backbone consists of cisco AGS  routers  located

            at  UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Oshkosh, and

            UW-Stevens Point.  These backbone  routers  are  redundantly

            connected  by  256-Kbps  circuits  provided  by the State of

            Wisconsin Department of Administration's  Consolidated  Data

            Network  (CDN).  End node sites are connected to the nearest

            backbone sites in their LATA by 56-Kbps DDS circuits.

            WiscNet is connected to the  CICNet  (Big  Ten  universities

            plus  the  University  of  Chicago)  regional network at UW-

            Madison by T1 lines to the University of  Minnesota  and  to

            Argonne National Laboratory.

            The Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet)  is  a

            national  network  that interconnects the major academic and

            research facilities within Australia.  The network  connects

            all Australian universities, the Commonwealth Scientific and

            Industrial and Research Organisation (CSIRO), and many other

            government,  commercial,  and industrial research facilities

            in Australia.

            Internally the network uses a  mix  of  2-mbit  and  48-kbit

            leased  lines and multi-protocol routers to provide the con-

            nection infrastructure.

            The network supports national TCP/IP  and  DECnet  Phase  IV

            services. The TCP/IP network is interconnected to the Inter-

            net via a PACCOM link to FIX-West at Mountain View, Califor-

            nia.   At  time  of  writing  this international link uses a

            256-kbit satellite circuit.

            UNINETT is the Norwegian academic data network.  Its purpose

            is  to support research and education and collaborative work

            in and among academic and non-profit research  organizations

            in  Norway by providing access to computer networks and net-

            work resources.  UNINETT is both a network, an organization,

            and  an  infrastructure  based on a set of datacommunication

            protocols.   As  the  Norwegian  branch  of  the   Internet,

            EARN/BITNET,  the  European academic DECnet, and OSInet/IXI,

            UNINETT  offers  a  variety  of  services   connecting   the

            Norwegian  academic  society  to  the  rest  of the academic

            world.

            Electronic mail, file transfer, terminal  access,  directory

            services,  and  USENET  Network  News are among the services

            available on the UNINETT network.

            By July 1991, about eighty academic and  research  organiza-

            tions are connected to the UNINETT backbone, giving national

            and international  connection  to  some  eight  thousand  IP

            hosts,  a  few  hundred  DECnet  hosts and X.400 MTAs, and a

            handful of EARN/BITNET nodes.  The number of users is stipu-

            lated to be about fifteen thousand.

            UNINETT is a member of  NORDUnet,  which  is  a  cooperative

            effort  of  the academic networks in all of the Nordic coun-

            tries and is connected internationally through the  NORDUnet

            ARNET, a TCP/IP network connected to the  Internet,  is  the

            major  science  and  research network of Argentina.  It con-

            nects approximately three hundred sites, mainly universities

            and research organizations.  ARNET provides electronic mail,

            USENET News, file server, and electronic mailing  list  ser-

            vices.

            Like other cooperative networks, ARNET has no central  plan-

            ning  or  central authority.  The current international link

            and the top-level AR domain are managed by the UNDP  (United

            Nations  Development  Programme), Project ARG-86-026, at the

            Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MREC), together with the Secre-

            tariat  of  Science  and  Technology  (SECYT).  For the time

            being, the top-level  subdomains  are  administered  by  the

            UNDP/MREC project.

            ARNET is a store-and-forward message network  based  on  the

            Unix  communications  facilities.   The  international elec-

            tronic mail gateway and USENET news backbone, atina.ar, is a

            '386  machine  running  Unix  System V connected to the MREC

            Local Area Network.  The network is connected to the  Inter-

            net through a satellite link to SURANet at the University of

            _________________________

            Most ARNET connections are over the public telephone network

            or  the  public  packet-switching  network, ARPAC, using the

            UUCP protocol in different environments.   USENET  news  and

            most  electronic  mail  traffic  is  brought  to  ARNET from

            uunet.uu.net via Internet.

            Several major nodes, such  as  secyt.gov.ar  (Secretaria  de

            Ciencia y Tecnologia), dcfcen.edu.ar (Departamento de Compu-

            tacion, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales,  Universi-

            dad de Buenos Aires), and opsarg.org.ar (Organizacion Panam-

            ericana de la Salud), call atina.ar  over  telephone  lines,

            PSN  ARPAC,  or  leased  lines  to  distribute mail and news

            traffic to other nodes.  Many nodes use various  implementa-

            tions of UUCP for MS-DOS with limited functionality.

            Future plans

            There is a cooperation agreement between the UNDP/MREC  pro-

            ject  and  the  SECYT  to distribute Internet services.  The

            first stage will be the installation of  a  couple  of  Unix

            boxes  at  major  regional sites, interconnected through the

            PSN ARPAC and national  satellite  links  using  UUCP.   The

            second  stage  will  be  the  migration from UUCP to TCP/IP.

            There are under study different ways to distribute  Internet

            services throughout the country, and to upgrade the interna-

            tional link to the Internet.

            _ N_ e_ t_ w_ o_ r_ k _ A_ c_ c_ e_ s_ s

            ARNET's IP number is 140.191.  Several bits of  the  address

            are   reserved   for   subnetting.    The   subnet  mask  is

            255.255.254.0.

            The current MX-host  for  the  AR  domain  is  uunet.uu.net.

            Domain Name Service for AR domain is served by NS.UU.NET and

            UUCP-GW-1.PA.DEC.COM.  Most systems on ARNET use the  Inter-

            net addressing scheme and the UUCP bang notation.

            TANet, the Taiwan  Academic  Network,  is  a  pilot  project

            undertaken  by  the  Ministry  of Education and Universities

            Computer Center to establish a common national academic net-

            work  infrastructure.   To  support  research  and  academic

            institutions in Taiwan, TANet will provide access to  unique

            resources  and  opportunities for collaborative work.  TANet

            will be composed of most of the Taiwan  Internet  community,

            including   industry  networks  such  as  SEEDNet  (Software

            Engineering Environment Development Network).

            Network Organization:

            The management structure of TANet is a two-layer  hierarchy.

            The  TANet network service center (TANSC) is to be responsi-

            ble for the national  backbone  network  and  management  of

            international  links.  Within each regional area, a regional

            network service center (RNSC) will  provide  necessary  ser-

            vices and support connections to the TANet backbone from the

            local-area     network/campus      network      of      each

            university/institution.   At  present,  TANSC  is run by the

            Ministry of Education computer center, and each RNSC is  run

            by a major local university.

                  National Kaohsiung Normal University (NKNU)

               These bodies are the core  membership  of  TANet.   Other

               university/institutions  may  apply for membership and be

               connected  to  TANet  after  obtaining  their  membership

               application.

               Protocols:

            July 31, 1992               NNSC       Section 5.44,  Page 2

               The network protocols will initially focus on  TCP/IP  on

               the TANet backbone.  Regional networks may support multi-

               ple pro- tocols and additional facilities (including X.25

               transport or dial-up services) on a local basis in accor-

               dance with regional requirements.  Support for OSI (CLNS)

               routing  will be introduced in the near future.  Existing

               Taiwan BITNET and ifNET  (information  NETwork)  applica-

               tions  (including  electronic mail delivery, NetNEWS, and

               file transfer) will be supported over TANet via  IP  con-

               nections.

               Network Topology:

               The network implementation uses a ring/mesh topology.  It

               interconnects   by  intelligent  routers  and  high-speed

               leased circuits/LANs together.

               High-speed  T1  (1.544  Mbps)  circuits  were   installed

               between  NSYSU and NTU, MOECC, NCU, NCTU, NTHU, and NCKU.

               NTU, NTHU, NCHU, and NCKU are now  9.6  kbps  for  backup

               purposes  (they  will  be  changed to at least 64 kbps in

               1992).  Dynamic ISDN links are also intended  to  provide

               backup  services  in  the  event  of failure of a primary

               link.  The bandwidth of each local link  will  depend  on

               its  local requirements;  global considerations will dic-

               tate further moves toward higher bandwidths on the  back-

               bone links.

               A 64 kbps link is now installed from the Ministry of Edu-

               cation  Computer Center to Princeton University, and will

               be upgarded to 256 kbps before the  end  of  1992.   This

               link will couple TANet to both JvNCnet and NSFNET..kp

            OARnet is the regional network for the state  of  Ohio.   It

            serves  the higher education community, providing Ohio scho-

            lars access to colleagues worldwide.  OARnet  also  provides

            commercial connectivity to industrial and commercial members

            with unrestricted traffic flow between other OARnet  members

            and the Internet.  Libraries, databases, national and inter-

            national laboratories, and research centers are  accessible,

            helping make Ohio schools competitive.

            The Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) was established

            in  1987  to  provide statewide access to the Cray supercom-

            puter at the Ohio Supercomputer Center.  Since then  it  has

            evolved into a network supporting all aspects of higher edu-

            cation in Ohio.  A primary goal of OARnet is  to  facilitate

            collaborative  projects  and  sharing  of  resources between

            institutions, including those  outside  the  state.   OARnet

            connections  are available to Ohio academic institutions and

            corporations engaged in  reseach,  product  development,  or

            instruction.    Colleges,   universities,   and   industries

            currently use OARnet connections to communicate  within  the

            state and with colleagues around the country.

            EMBnet is a project to develop the infrastructure for access

            to  biotechnology information services for the research com-

            munity in Europe. The project includes the  formation  of  a

            network for access to, and exchange and analysis of, data of

            importance to molecular biology and biotechnology.

            The network is  based  on  nationally-appointed  centres  in

            European  countries,  appropriately  staffed and equipped to

            provide a biocomputing service and to develop  network-based

            services within their country. Additional nodes are involved

            as hosts of databases  or  specialised  facilities.  Current

            nodes and their contact representatives are listed below.

            Initial network activities have centred around daily distri-

            bution  of  nucleotide  sequence  data  from  the  EMBL Data

            Library using Internet,  and  sometimes  DECnet  over  X.25.

            National  EMBnet  nodes  therefore maintain remote copies of

            the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database for on-line access  of

            further re-distribution within their country.

            One main goal is to develop bioinformatics and its  practice

            in  general.   Approaches  and solutions are discussed among

            the project members via mailing  lists,  newsgroups  and  at

            annual workshops.

            Other activities and projects include promotion of  computer

            conferencing,  remote  access  to specialised facilities (eg

            sequence similarity searching on massively parallel  comput-

            ers), a training programme in bioinformatics, evaluation and

            implementation of Gopher servers, remote  sequence  database

            updating mechanisms.

            In most cases the services provided  by  national  nodes  of

            EMBnet  are  intended for their national research community.

            In some cases there is a  charging  system,  especially  for

            commercial  users.  Other  entries  in the Internet Resource

            Guide  (eg  EMBL  Data  Library)  will  give  more  specific

            In 1990, the UK Medical Research Council (MRC)  founded,  as

            part of the UK Human Genome Mapping Project, a Resource Cen-

            tre (HGMP-RC) at the Clinical Research Centre (CRC), Harrow,

            Middlesex.   The  objectives of the HGMP-RC computing are to

            establish and make available  databases  of  genes,  genetic

            markers  and  map  locations,  and  to develop new computing

            environments and methods for  acquisition  and  analysis  of

            such   data.    Computing  and  networking  facilities  were

            developed by the MRC to provide online computing support  to

            the Project.

            The facilities are connected to a number of other  computing

            systems   in  centres  of  genetics  and  molecular  biology

            research excellence worldwide through national and  interna-

            tional  wide  area  networks  (WAN's) including the European

            Research Backbone Network  (EBONE),  INTERNET,  Public  Data

            Networks  (Packet  Switching  and  Telephone)  in the UK and

            overseas, research and academic networks in the UK and over-

            seas,  European  Molecular Biology Network (EMBNet) and oth-

            ers. Direct connectivity to US laboratories was  implemented

            using a high-speed communication link, the UK-US 'fat pipe'.

            A great deal of effort has been spent on improving  services

            to  the scientific community.  Molecular genetics databases,

            application  software   and   miscellaneous   services   are

                                      tion and support

            The NIC works closely with network Host Administrators, Node

            Site  Coordinators, domain administrators, network coordina-

            tors, network protocol groups, vendors, contractors, govern-

            ment agencies, and military sponsors to assist new users and

            potential subscribers in obtaining pertinent network  infor-

            mation.

            The  NIC  provides  databases  and  information  servers  of

            interest to network users, including the WHOIS "white pages"

            registry, the NIC/Query browsing system,  TACNEWS,  and  the

            official  DoD  Host  Name Service. The NIC is the source for

            official DDN protocol documents (other than  the  MIL-STDs),

            as  well  as  other  DDN  documents,  and  maintains the RFC

            (Request for Comments) collection.  Many of the online files

            are  available  through  the  NIC's  automatic mail service,

            SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL.

            The NIC registers hosts  and  domains,  assigns  IP  network

            numbers and Autonomous System Numbers, and provides hostname

            translation tables and domain name system  server  files  to

            the  DDN Internet.  The NIC also registers network users and

            issues MILNET TAC access cards.

            ONLINE FILES

            The NIC maintains many online files that  are  available  to

            network  subscribers via the file transfer protocol (FTP) or

            Kermit.  These files contain  information  about  protocols,

            site  personnel,  hosts, and other subjects relevant to net-

            work users.  See the file netinfo/00netinfo-index.txt for an

            index  to  the files in the netinfo directory.  See also the

            DDN New User Guide or contact the NIC User  Assistance  ser-

            vice  for more information. Other publicly accessible direc-

            tories include PROTOCOLS, RFC, IEN, SCC, and DDN-NEWS.  Each

            of   these   directories   has   an   index  in  the  format

            00directory-index.txt or  directory-index.txt  in  order  to

            allow users to quickly identify the files they need.

            REGISTRATION SERVICES

            The NIC is responsible for the registration of users, hosts,

            July 8, 1992                NNSC        Section 6.2,  Page 2

            domains,  IP network numbers, and autonomous systems numbers

            (ASNs) for organizations connected to the DDN Internet.

            To register a new user with  the  NIC,  send  a  request  to

            registrar@nic.ddn.mil,  the  NIC's  role  mailbox  for  user

            registrations.  The template for user registration data  can

            be  found in the online file netinfo/user-template.txt.  The

            NIC registers users from the Military  Community,  primarily

            by  accepting  and  processing  templates  from  MILNET host

            administrators. These requests often  involve  TAC  Access--

            i.e.,  dialup  access to a MILNET host via a Terminal Access

            Controller.  The NIC issues and distributes TAC Access Cards

            to  users  who  require  the  service.   In general, the NIC

            registers users from the Internet community only if they are

            POCs for a domain or a network.

            To include a new host in the DDN  Internet  Host  Table,  an

            administrator   must   complete   the   template   found  in

            netinfo/ihost-template.txt   file   and   return    it    to

            HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL.  To be included in the Host Table, a

            host must act as a domain or IN-ADDR server, be  a  gateway,

            or be essential for mail routing.

            Twice weekly, host information is  generated  into  the  DDN

            Internet Host Table as netinfo/hosts.txt, which is a listing

            of the hosts, gateways, and networks attached to the  Inter-

            net  and registered with the NIC.  From this file, two addi-

            tional files are generated: hosts.txt.Z, a  UNIX  compressed

            version of the hosts.txt file; and mil-hosts.txt, a complete

            listing of MILNET hosts from the hosts.txt file.

            Domains are registered via the domain template found in  the

            NIC  online  file  netinfo/domain-template.txt.   New domain

            information is installed in the seven DNS root servers twice

            weekly.    Information  on  the  root  servers  is  kept  in

            netinfo/root-servers.txt.  The domains registered  with  the

            NIC are listed in netinfo/domain-info.txt.  A listing of the

            netaddresses of the domain servers for individual  top-level

            domains can be found in netinfo/domains.txt.

            To obtain an IP network number  assignment,  a  network  POC

            must   complete  the  template  in  netinfo/internet-number-

            template.txt and returns the template  to  HOSTMASTER.   The

            file   netinfo/networks.txt  contains  a  complete  list  of

            government-sponsored networks.

            Address-to-hostname inverse resolution is  accomplished  via

            IN-ADDR  domains,  which  are  registered in the domain root

            July 8, 1992                NNSC        Section 6.2,  Page 3

            servers via an IN-ADDR template sent to the HOSTMASTER mail-

            box.   This  template is located in the file netinfo/inaddr-

            template.txt.

            To obtain an autonomous system numbers (ASNs) assignment,  a

            user  must  complete  the  template  found  in  netinfo/asn-

            template.txt  and  submit  it   to   HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL.

            Assigned ASNs are listed in netinfo/asn.txt.

            POC  information  on  individuals  who   are   not   already

            registered  with  the NIC is extracted from domain, network,

            and ASN templates and  automatically  placed  in  the  WHOIS

            database.

            The CSNET Info-Server has been consolidated with  the  Info-

            Server  operated  by  the NSF Network Service Center (NNSC).

            See Section 6.3.

               o +  The   Info-Server:   info-server@nnsc.nsf.net.    This

                  automatic program distributes documents in response to

                  specially formatted messages.  The documents are  also

                  available to Internet users through standard anonymous

                  verting  mailing  lists  to to up-to-date domain-style

                  addresses.  The NNSC plans restore it if there is suf-

                  ficient demand.

               o +  Nslookup: For hosts that do not have access to  domain

                  servers,  the nslookup program accepts domain names or

                  IP addresses and sends back a message  containing  all

                  domain  nameserver  records  (not  just  the MX ones).

                  This program has been  temporarily  discontinued,  but

                  may be revived in the near future.

            The Computer Incident  Advisory  Capability  (CIAC)  of  the

            Department of Energy (DOE) is located at the Lawrence Liver-

            more National Laboratory in Livermore, California.  CIAC  is

            the  DOE  crisis center for the handling of computer related

            security incidents.  CIAC rapidly  investigates  reports  of

            possible computer system penetrations, computer viruses, and

            similar problems.  Stopgap software solutions  are  provided

            in  real-time  while  robust binary and source level patches

            are developed.  CIAC distributes information about  computer

            related  threats  to  sites  that may be vulnerable to those

            specific threats. CIAC  also  retains  systems  consultants,

            applications  specialists, and research scientists to assist

            researchers in the security arena.

            As part of a network mapping project, we have implemented  a

            TCP-based  geographic  name  server.  In response to queries

            consisting of a city name and/or ZIP code  and  an  optional

            state  and/or  country  abbreviation, the server retrieves a

            variety of data from a database  containing  information  on

            all  US  cities  (~150,000).  Queries containing UNIX ed(1)-

            style regular expressions are also supported.

            The geographic names database contains state, county,  lati-

            tude and longitude for all US cities.  It also contains 1980

            census population, elevation, area code, and ZIP code for  a

            large  subset  of  the  cities, as well as a small number of

            international cities.   The  database  contains  information

            about  other  geographic  features such as counties, states,

            rivers,  lakes,  summits,  etc.  in  addition  to  populated

            places.

            The raw data were obtained from the United  States  Geodetic

            Survey (USGS) and the US Postal Service.  USGS is developing

            a Geographic Names Information System  (GNIS)  as  the  main

            repository for its ongoing National Gazetteer project.

            The MOSIS Service is a low-cost prototyping service for cus-

            tom  and  semi-custom  VLSI circuit development.  MOSIS pro-

            vides fast-turnaround fabrication of integrated circuits  by

            subcontracting  with  major  mask,  fabrication and assembly

            vendors.  MOSIS runs can support projects designed using the

            set  of  generic  MOSIS design rules, the wafer fabricator's

            design rules or the DoD's.   MOSIS-compatible standard  cell

            libraries  have  been  loaded  onto Cascade, Cadence, Dazix,

            Mentor, Synopsys and Viewlogic.  A  wider  range  of  layout

            tools  can be used to generate full custom designs.  Designs

            are typically sent to MOSIS through the Internet in CIF for-

            mat  or on tape in Calma GDSII or MEBES format and parts are

            shipped to designers via Federal Express.  To obtain  E-Mail

            The NEST simulation package  developed  at  Columbia  is  an

            environment  for rapid prototyping and simulation of distri-

            buted networked systems.  NEST users can  develop  and  test

            distributed  systems  and  protocols  (from  crude models to

            actual system code) within simulated network scenarios.

            NEST is organized as a simulation  server,  responsible  for

            execution  of  complex  simulation scenarios, and a separate

            graphical   interface   for   simulation    control.     The

            client/server model permits distribution of NEST over a net-

            work environment.  Thus, complex simulations may be migrated

            to  powerful  remote  computational servers.  Alternatively,

            complex studies/development efforts by  multiple  teams  may

            utilize a shared multi-site simulation/integration testbed.

            Simulation servers are created using the NEST library, a  C-

            language library which runs under most Unix variants, and on

            POWER (IBM RS/6000), SPARC, MIPS, 680x0  and  VAX  architec-

            tures.   The  NEST  library  provides  a  simple, high-level

            message-passing facility among a set  of  concurrent  light-

            weight processes which simulate a distributed system.

            The interface provided by the NEST library allows  users  to

            link  in their own C code and run it on one or more nodes in

            a simulated  distributed  environment.   NEST  provides  the

            following operations in this environment:

               o +  send messages to neighboring nodes

               o +  receive messages (optionally, with timestamps)

               o +  check for available messages

               o +  control passage of simulation time

            The user  can  also  provide  C  code  which  simulates  the

            behavior  of  a  channel,  and associate it with one or more

            communications channels.  More  than  one  function  can  be

            associated  with a channel, and the following operations are

            provided:

               o +  alter contents of messages

               o +  control transmission delay of messages

               o +  drop messages (cause them to not be received)

            Finally, a monitor function can be  provided  by  the  user,

            which  runs  periodically in the simulation, and can perform

            modifications to the network scenario as noted below in  the

            description of the NEST generic monitor.    In addition, the

            functionality provided by most available Unix  libraries  is

            accessible within a simulation server.

            Users interact with NEST through the NEST  generic  monitor,

            an X-based graphical interface supporting editing and modif-

            ication of simulation scenarios as well as dynamic  reconfi-

            guration of a simulation during execution.  Thus, it is pos-

            sible to study the dynamic response of a distributed  system

            to failures, burst-loads or other complex dynamical changes.

            The nest monitor provides the following operations for mani-

            pulation of the network simulation scenario:

               o +  create and delete nodes

               o +  create and delete links

               o +  start and stop functions running on nodes

            September 4, 1992           NNSC        Section M.5,  Page 2

               o +  change the function associated with a node

               o +  change the list of channel functions  associated  with

                  an edge

               o +  change the weight parameter associated with an edge

               o +  change the monitor function which runs periodically

               o +  show the current status of a node in the simulation

            NEST includes documentation and complete C source  code  for

            both  the  NEST  library  and the NEST generic monitor.  The

            NEST library will run under most  Unix  variants,  including

            AIX, SunOS, Ultrix, 4.x BSD, and System V.  The NEST generic

            monitor is an X application which uses  the  XView  library.

            The currently released version of NEST is version 2.6.

            FAST is a prototype, automated  broker  for  standard,  off-

            the-shelf  items.   Electronic  and  optical  parts and com-

            ponents and laboratory and test equipment are  readily  pur-

            chased through the FAST service.

            FAST is ONEstop shopping.  It is a complete value-added ser-

            vice that handles quoting, ordering, expediting and returns.

            One purchase order with FAST  allows  customers  to  acquire

            items easily and quickly from a very large vendor base.

            The FAST broker currently serves more than  100  university,

            commercial  and  government  customers.  As of June 1992, it

            had acquired items from over 1,500 suppliers.

            FAST's customers request quotes and place orders  from  FAST

            via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange - standard email or EDI

            X12).  FAST sources (often in  a  fully  automated  fashion)

            incoming  rfqs  and  redistributes them to vendors who carry

            the requested items.

            FAST communicates with its vendors using EDI (standard email

            or  EDI  X12) or fax.  All vendor responses are collected by

            FAST and sent back to the customers via EDI.  The  customers

            pick  the  best quote/item and place the order from FAST via

            EDI.  FAST sends EDI orders for the items  to  the  vendors.

            The vendors invoice FAST and customers reimburse FAST.

            FAST also offers a one-step  quote-and-order  option,  where

            the  customer  specifies what selection criteria FAST should

            use when evaluating  incoming  vendor  quotes.   The  "best"

            quote is then automatically turned into an order by FAST.

            Customers are charged an 8% service fee (8% of the  cost  of

            the merchandise acquired through FAST) for the service.

            application of menu controlled front-ends and interfaces and

            on integration of the various tools and data bases. An exam-

            ple of the latter is the interconversion of molecular struc-

            ture files between structural databases,  modeling  software

            and  computational  chemistry programs.  All available tools

            are presented to the user in a hierarchy  of  simple  menus,

            where the tools are arranged according to their application.

            The Center supports its users through a combination  of  on-

            line    Help   facilities,   practical   courses   and   the

            (re)production of manuals.  E-mail facilities, NEWS and Con-

            ferencing systems are used to improve the exchange of infor-

            mation  and  experience  among  the  users,  including   the

            Center's picstaff.

            All tools and programs are arranged  in  packages,  covering

            four major chemical areas:

                   alization  tools,  the  quantum  chemistry literature

                   database and computational tools for  both  Molecular

                   Mechanics/Dynamics and Quantum Chemical calculations.

               D:  Area   CAMMSA   (Computer   Assisted   Macromolecular

                   Sequence Analysis; BioInformatics)

                   Available tools are all major nucleic acid  and  pro-

                   tein  sequence  data bases and programs for data base

                   query  and  retrieval,  homology  searching,  protein

                   analysis, nucleic acid analysis, alignment and phylo-

                   geny construction.

            Expert help is available on each of the systems supported by

            the  Center.   All  data  bases  supported by the Center are

            updated on a daily,  weekly,  monthly  or  quarterly  basis,

            dependent  on the rate with which new material is being pro-

            duced and available. User interaction with  the  tools  sup-

            plied  is fully structure oriented whenever applicable, i.e.

            most input is by means of structural formulas to be drawn on

            the  screen and output is structure oriented where appropri-

            ate.

            It is the Center's policy to provide users with all documen-

            tation that is available with a program or data base, and to

            complement this information with on-line  Help,  with  extra

            manual and "introductions" where necessary and with document

            files  in  a  central  document  directory  from  which  all

            material can be down loaded.

            Access to the Center is possible in many different ways. The

            route  to be chosen will depend on a user's local situation.

            Many routes connect to the Center's terminal  servers  which

            will distribute incoming calls over the available resources.

               1. DECnet.  Only possible if you are setting up the  con-

                           nection  from a local VAX in The Netherlands.

                           backbone (0)204 3044008699.  This  connection

                           is  slower  than  routes 1 and 2 because they

                           use a 9.6 kb PAD. On response  from  the  PAD

            staging,  histology, and treatment of more than 75 types and

            sites of cancer.  For each cancer diagnosis, there  are  two

            different  statements  available, a technical summary geared

            to the needs of the health care professional, which includes

            references  to  published literature; and a patient informa-

            tion  statement  which  is  written  in   easy-to-understand

            language.   Screening  guidelines and supportive care state-

            ments on the management of side effects of  cancer  and  its
