Yes, us funny old Europeans do have access to the INTERNET. JANET
users can get an account at UCL.CS.NSS, log onto that and just
type TELNET to connect to any US site in so-called real-time. (I say
so-called because the response is sometimes a bit jerky). Getting

As long as a person has a Ethernet connection from his PC or Mac or
host machine he can get a connection to machines on the world wide
Internet (machines with a 4 part IP number).  I have tried several
of the machines mentioned in the file INTERNET LIBRARY. In Norway it
is quite common to make FTP connections to download programs and
data from the great amount of machines with archives on the Internet.
(FTP is a parallel to Telnet for file transfer). At the moment we
don't pay anything for this, the lines is kept by the Norwegian
University Network Group, which gets its money direct from the
government. If we want to make a connection via X.25 to Bix or
Compuserve then our institution have to pay. But if we use mail or
file transfer through Internet, Bitnet or X.400 systems, this is "free".

I don't know about England or Europe, but here in
Israel, we do not have FTP connection capability to NA,
though it is promised to us  in about two years time.
