Austgen) writes: However, whether you have a node tied into, say the ARPA network, is another matter. NYSERNet has a phone-in link to the Internet that gives individuals direct access to the Internet. The phone number is local to New York County (Manhattan), New York. The message posted to ny.nysernet.nysertech is as follows: After some number of weeks of shakedown and refinement, the Dialup Service in NYC (pilot) is running smoothly. If you are interested in registering to use it, please send your email request to: dialup@nisc.nyser.net Please include your USMail address so that we can send you a registration form. This pilot program is at no cost to the user and involves a local phone call in Manhattan or a long distance one from other areas. We hope this individual access to the NYSERNet network will provide even greater opportunities for collaboration among scholars.
