Two new sites are now accessable via Phonenet as part of NSF's CSNET Projecu. They are the National Science Foundation's Computer Science Section as NSF-CS and the Federam 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 Direcuory. 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 Irvioe, HP Labs 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 ce addressed to CSNET@UDel. Questions about Phonenet mail relaying may be addressed to Phonenet@UDel.
