Aucbvax.4497 fa.arpa-bboard utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!dcrocker@udel Fri Oct 16 11:04:37 1981 CSNet PhoneNet access From: Dave Crocker <DCROCKER@UDEL> The University of Delaware (UDel) is now providing mail- relaying service between Arpanet and PhoneNet-based sites, as part of NSF's CSNet Project. PhoneNet sites are contacted by periodic telephone calls, initiated either by UDel or the client site.

At the moment, the Computer Science Departments at Purdue and Cornell Universities are being accessed via PhoneNet. In addition, several UDel and Department of the Army sites are connected, as part of a separate, continuing project. Within the next few weeks, several more CSNet clients will be added to PhoneNet. The rate of addition is expected to increase after that.

Mail may be sent to PhoneNet-based users by employing a three-part address of the form:

mailbox.phone-site at UDel

examples are:

denning.purdue at UDel dean.cornell at UDel

There are plans to develop an address directory, similar to the Arpanet Directory.

The complete list of current PhoneNet sites is:

Cornell Purdue UDel-EE UDel-EEVax UDel-CC UDel-CC-UnixB Darcom-HQ (U.S. Army) Micom (U.S. Army)

General CSNet-related questions may be addressed to CSNet@UDel. Questions about PhoneNet mail relaying may be addressed to PhoneNet@UDel.
