Appendix A. More About the Internet.
This appendix contains, for example, information on how to get on the
Internet, i.e. how to purchase an Internet account.
A.0. More About the Internet.
A.1. Introductory Internet Information.

mailserv@ds.internic.net with "document-by-name rfc1594" in the body of
the text. You will receive the Request For Comments (RFC) "Questions
and Answers for New Internet Users." The RFCs documents the history of
the Internet (its standards, frequently asked questions, and who's who)
since 1969. To get an index of RFCs, include "document-by-name rfc-

A.2.0. Internet, UUCP, and Usenet Providers.
There is not a bright line separating "domain providers" and "account
providers." In general, "domain providers" sell Internet links to
organizations, "account providers" sell e-mail accounts to individuals.
However, the services offered by each are constantly changing. The
following are the major commercial Internet, UUCP, and Usenet providers.
A.2.1.00. Domain Providers.
The companies listed in this section can provide you with domain
service. In other words, if you want to use the domain "mycompany.com"
for your new company (called "My Company") these are the providers you
should contact.
A.2.1.01. Advanced Network & Services, Inc.

Products:
ANVL: The Automated Network Validation Library helps vendors test their
products' use and implementation of network protocols by automating unit
testing, negative testing, and regression testing. ANVL provides the
ability to easily construct, send and receive packets that are correctly
or incorrectly formatted. Plus, with ANVL, a user can develop a suite
of tests to rapidly and repeatedly test network devices without the need
of an analyzer or lots of equipment, saving valuable time and money.
ANVL comes with ready-to-run test suites for AppleTalk endnodes,
AppleTalk routers, ARAP, TCP/IP RIP, and PPP, with more suites being
added monthly.
Recon/Map, the first member of the Recon family, is a focused tool that
keeps you aware of the current status of any segment of your TCP/IP
network by providing up-to-date snapshots of your network on demand. By
allowing you to instantly view an up-to-date host table and note
inconsistencies in the various hostname databases on your system,
Recon/Map helps keep your network operating smoothly. With Recon/Map, an
administrator with a problem segment can actually see changes happening
in real-time.
Services: Midnight Networks provides custom software development and
consulting services to complement its product line. Past consulting
engagements include the development of a suite of negative and stress
tests for DEC's AppleTalk router using ANVL technology, comprehensive
enhancements of Wellfleet Communications' Site Manager user interface
software, the development of a communications infrastructure linking
heterogeneous platforms within a large-scale manufacturing system for
Polaroid, and on-call troubleshooting and support as the Internet
administrator for both NEC Technologies and Avid Technology.

Our ANVL products are used by the top networking vendors, including
Wellfleet, Cisco, and Xylogics. Our Recon family of network management
tools are used by managers and users of TCP/IP networks in all
industries. Our software development and consulting services have been

CRAM: The Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement
In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and as a
service to motivated information compilers, a member of CRAM can help
others unfamiliar with Usenet `publish' their documents for
widespread dissemination via the FAQ structure, and act as a
`sponsor' knowledgable in the submissions process. This document is
being distributed under this arrangement.
We have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing
lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you
know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not
currently a FAQ, please contact us and we may `sponsor' it. The
benefits to the author include:
- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
- automated mail server service
- FTP archival
- automated posting
- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and
coverage of the document enormously through email feedback
- potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in
other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc.
- with us as your sponsor, we will also take care of the
technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and
updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on
the basic updates alone
The choice of who we `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always have
the option of handling the submission process yourself. See the FAQ
submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.
