Hi,

Does anybody know if an RFC exists concerning and/or dealing with the issue
of commercial companies wnating and/or getting accounts on university based
networks.  i.e. what are the policies regarding a commercial company with
a 'university.edu' email address?  Is this legal?  I was under the impression
that such companies had to acquire their own '.com' type access to the
internet.

If anyone can point me to information on this (RFC or otherwise), I would
be very grateful.

Thanks,

Kharim Hogan
System Administrator, Faculty of Music, McGill University

I dunno about the rules, but a company in ISU's research park has a
xxx.iastate.edu address (which I am against, but nobody asked me).
