If you have Internet access, you can FTP the most recent version of the network provider referral list from nnsc.nsf.net, file nsfnet/referral-list (or, send email to info-server@nnsc.nsf.net). Contact a network provider and they should be able to answer your questions regarding Internet access. Note also that I (and others) have given "Connecting to the Internet" talks at DECUS. My talks have been published in the Network SIG session notes. Below is a copy of the current referral list. - Bernie Volz Process Software Corporation ****************************************************************************** NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) Hotline: 617/873-3400 10 Moulton Street Email: nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net Cambridge, MA 02138 Info-Server requests to: info-server@nnsc.nsf.net ****************************************************************************** NETWORK PROVIDER REFERRAL LIST NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) 5 March 1993 The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) often receives the initial calls from sites wishing to connect to the Internet.
