Neither of these groups is really the correct place to post about this
subject, but, I couldn't find a better place, so, here goes:

NSFnet is an ARPA_like network sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
We are considering an NSFnet connection here at CDC, but I can't squeeze any
info about the network and its connectivity from the higher_ups (probably
'cause they dont know, either .. )   ..

Does anyone out there know what NSFnet IS, what its designed to do, who
may use it (apparently we already have permission, but I'm curious
about who else I might find out there.. ), if UUCP is supported over
it, what protocol it uses, etc, etc, etc?

Please respond by mail since, again, this is not the place for this discussion.

Thanks!

	-Jeff
