Lines: 24 Here's the address to write to in order to get an official Internet address: DDN Network Information Center SRI International 333 Ravenswood Avenue, Room EJ291 Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA Their phone number is (800) 235-3155. Actually, though, they prefer that applications be submitted electronically to HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL. I have the request form here (electronically) if anyone has trouble contacting DDN. I'll mail it upon request. I doubt you'll need it as the people at DDN were very helpful when I mailed and called. By the way, I believe there are no fees involved in getting an Internet address assigned.
