The others are following and will be connected untill the end of 90. We set up a guide commity that allocated internet numbers to each university, we also purchased the same routers (CISCO) collectivly. There is no way to produce WAAN without very tight cooperation between the participants, but once you have it, everything seems to work. We also plan to connect to other WAANs in the US/Europe when the optical lines to Europe will be functioning ( about 1/2 a year) Rafi Brunner Ben-Gurion Univ. Beer-Sheva, Israel
