We are in the process of constructing new /etc/hosts and /etc/networks
files based on the official ARPA-approved network numbers we have been
allocated.  Please send mail to me (ron@uthub) if you are or will be
the system administrator of a system connected to one of the U. of T.
local-area networks.  Requests for blocks of numbers for future machines
will also be accepted.  Please also state your affiliation or department,
so that the hosts can be ordered in some semi-logical manner.

Since this is a radical change in networking, in order not to isolate
machines, this change will have to be made on all machines all on the
same day.  This is tentatively scheduled to occur early in the new year,
before classes begin.  Please send your request in soon; late requests
will not be acted on quickly.

Currently, we have the following networks defined:

	csri-ethernet	192.12.174
	hubnet		192.12.175
	ecf-ptpnet	192.12.176	# Point-to-point networks
	utcs-ethernet	192.12.177
	scar-ethernet	192.12.178
	utcs-ptpnet	192.12.179	# Point-to-point networks
	mike-pronet	192.12.180
	rob-pronet	192.12.181
	sid-pronet	192.12.182
	reserved	192.12.183

As a final note:  just because we have official ARPA-approved network
numbers does *NOT* mean that we are now connected to the ARPANET.  It
does mean that we are one step closer, though.
