I see the term 'the Internet' used freely in news items, but never a
definition of it. I assume that it refers to something other than the
standard RFC822 "internet" addressing scheme and the unique "internet"
number (neither capitalized).

I am intrigued by the extra capabilities that seem to be available and
would like to get our site onto it if we can. Currently we go through
either sun.COM or Berkeley.EDU, but both have their problems.

Can anyone enlighten me?
