The best source of navigatory guidance around the various nets that I have seen yet is a little paper entitled "Research Computer Networks and Their Interconnection", IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol. 24, No. 6, June, 1986, Pp. 5 - 17. The authors are Lawrence H. Landwebver, Dennis M. Jennings, and Ira Fuchs. The paper describes the networks and the services available on them in general, then lists more networks than you ever heard of, and finally gives points of contact for information about several of them, and then the magic words for addressing mail from any one of them to any other of them. A copy of this paper is a ***MUST*** for anyone who wants to end the confusion about what all those %, @, !, ., -, and other symbols mean! Since it appeared in a fairly popular IEEE journal, you shouldn't have any trouble locating a copy. -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
