Here's an excerpt from Defense Data Network (DDN) Management Bulletin
#28, dated March 14, 1985.  The Arpanet and the DDN are both managed by
Defense Communications Agency, but administration and policy the Arpanet
is handled by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).

 "The purpose of the ARPANET experimental packet-switched network is to
 provide an experimental facility for research into advanced
 packet-switched communication technologies, and provide an advanced
 experimental communication facility in support of government sponsored
 university computer science research.  As such, it is not intended for
 use in lieu of other operational networks. Such operational facilities
 are provided for the Defense Department by the Defense Data Network
 (DDN) and in general by public and private packet-switched networks.

 "The Arpanet is for Official Use Only, i.e.for government sponsored
 activities or related supporting activities. The Arpanet may not be
 used for private gain (e.g. strictly commercial use such as advertising
 or recruiting)."

It is important that anyone who desires to send mail via the Arpanet
be aware of the above, for it explains why UUCP-Arpanet gateways are
not, in general, for public access.

[Please, no flames.  I don't make the rules.]
