For information on BitNet, the following files are available from BITNIC:

                            BITNET INTRO
                            BITNET OVERVIEW
                            APPLY  INFO1

If you're on BitNet (as you appear  to be) send a GET command to LISTSERV
at BITNIC. ("TELL LISTSERV AT BITNIC GET BITNET INTRO"). If you're on the
Internet you can send the GET command as the first line of a mail message
to listserv@bitnic.educom.edu.

The Internet is really a collection of networks. You have a whole pile of
options.  One way  to start  getting information  is to  ask the  support
people at your site about how they connected to the Internet.
