NSFnet is a network funded by the National Science Foundation.
It consists of the backbone, which links six major supercomputer
centers in the U.S., regional networks such as NYSER, SURAN, and MIDnet
that join research sites in a large section of the country (but
are adminstered seperately), and campus nets at each individual
sites.

NSFnet is not supposed to be a conduit for commericial sites to
get access to the Internet.  However, the most definitive answers
to your questions can probably had by contacting Dr. Stephen Wolff
at NSF.  His Email address is steve@note.nsf.net.
