Well folks after a long break, I'm calling for sites to offer network
connections to their less fortunate brothers.  If you are willing to
offer connections to other sites, with or without restrictions would
you please fill in the form attached, or copy one out of AUUGN and
send it to me.

I would like to apologise to all those people who have responded asking
for a connection (and who probably still can't read this) or offering one,
I have been very slack this year and haven't processed any of the requests.
As a new half year resolution I promise to improve.

       1.1  Introduction

       ACSnet is a computer network  linking  many  UNIX  hosts	 in
       Australia.   It	provides connections over various media	and
       is linked to AARNet, Internet, USENET, CSnet and	many  other
       overseas	networks.  Until the formation of AARNet it was	the
       only such network available in Australia, and is	 still	the
       only  network  of  its  type  available	to commercial sites
       within Australia.  The software used for	 these	connections
       is  usually  either  SUN	III or SUN IV (or MHSnet).  For	the
       purposes	of this	survey other software such as UUCP or  SLIP
       is also relevant.

       At the AUUG Annual General  Meeting  held  in  Melbourne	 on
       September   27th,   the	members	 requested  that  the  AUUG
       Executive investigate ways of making  connection	 to  ACSnet
       easier,	especially for sites currently without connections.
       This survey is aimed at clearly defining	what  is  available
       and what	is needed.

       Replies are invited both	from  sites  requiring	connections
       and  sites  that	 are willing to	accept connections from	new
       sites.  Any other site that has relevant	information is also
       welcome	to  reply  (e.g.  a  site  looking  at reducing	its
       distance	from the backbone).
