NEARnet and Alternet now/will soon have a leased line, so commercial traffic can be sent around. It's not limited to just academic and research organizations. Nearnet was created because when the NSFNet proposal went around, everyone in the area waited for MIT to sign up to create the regional network in this area. MIT was busy building Athena at that time, so ... the ball got dropped. /r$, who has worked with the BBN NEARnet folks (they're in the same department), but is not a member of the group. -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.
