Aucbvax.5529 fa.arpa-bboard utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!farber@udel Wed Dec 23 08:52:17 1981 New CSNET Phonenet sites From: Dave Farber <FARBER@UDEL> Two new sites are now accessable via Phonenet as part of NSF's CSNET Project. They are the National Science Foundation's Computer Science Section as NSF-CS and the Federal Communications Commission (Office of the Chief Scientist) as FCC-NET.

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

mailbox.phone-site at UDel

examples are:

lukasik.fcc-net at udel adrion.nsf-cs at UDel kern.nsf-cs at UDel

There are plans to develop an address directory, similar to the Arpanet Directory. An temporary directory is available on request to Phonenet at UDel.

The current list of CSNET Phonenet sites is:

Cornell FCC-NET NSF-CS Purdue Princeton Udel ( Delaware )

Additional Phonenet sites will be connected in the near future. These will include New Mexico Tech, Univ of Penn, Georgia Tech, Duke/UNC, UC Irvine, and the Univ of Md. It is expected that all sites with applications filed before 1 Nov will be online by mid March.

General CSNET-related questions may be addressed to CSNET@UDel. Questions about Phonenet mail relaying may be addressed to Phonenet@UDel.
