As of Monday, August 28, a connection between the NSFNet and CSNET
became operational.  The connection has been made possible through an
arrangement with NEARNet (the New England Academic Research Network)
whereby CSNET traffic passes through NEARNet to JVNCNet and from there
to the NSFNet backbone.  

CSNET, the Computer+Science network, which is based in Cambridge, MA,
provides electronic mail access to over 100 sites using Phonenet, and
IP services to another twenty sites.  CSNET also provides BIND-style
domain name service to over 100 institutions worldwide.  The new
connection gives NSFNet sites much better connectivity to CSNET, to
CSNET's member institutions, and to CSNET services, such as the CSNET
domain name servers, the CSNET Info-Server, and the CSNET User Name
Server (a directory service for finding users).  CSNET plans to obtain
another connection to NSFNet on the West Coast in the near future.

If you have any questions about CSNET, its members, its services, or
its NSFNet connection, please contact:
