-
- PDN holonet, michnet, portal, psi-gds, psilink, well, world
- 800 class, dial-n-cerf-usa, jvnc, OARnet
-
- "PDN" means the provider is accessible through a public data network
- (check the listings below for which network); note that many PDNs
- listed offer access outside North America as well as within North
- America. Check with the provider or the PDN for more details.
-
- "800" means the provider is accessible via a "toll-free" US phone
- number. The phone company will not charge for the call, but the
- service provider will add a relatively large surcharge to cover the
- high cost of the 800 service. Other long-distance options are
- generally cheaper.

-
- If you are not local to any of these providers, it's still likely you
- are able to access those providers available through a public data
- network (PDN). Check the section above for providers with wide area
- access.

- ~Subject: What *Is* The Internet?
-
- The Internet is a global cooperative network of university, corporate,
- government, and private computers, all communicating with each other by
- means of something called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
- Protocol). Computers directly on the Internet can exchange data quickly
- and easily with any other computer on the Internet to download files, send
- email, provide remote logins, etc.
-
- Users can download files from publicly accessible archive sites ("anonymous
- FTP"); login into remote computers (telnet or rlogin); chat in real-time
- with other users around the world (Internet Relay Chat); or use the newest
- information retrieval tools to find a staggering variety of information
- (Wide Area Information Servers, Gopher, World Wide Web).
-
- Computers directly on the Internet also exchange email directly and very
- quickly; email is usually delivered in seconds between Internet sites.
-
- Sometimes the Internet is confused with other related networks or types of
- networking.
-
- First, there are other ways to be "connected to the Internet" without being
- directly connected as a TCP/IP node. Some computers connect via UUCP or
- other means at regular intervals to an Internet site to exchange email and
- USENET newsgroups, for instance. Such a site can provide email (though not
- as quickly as a directly connected systems) and USENET access, but not
- Internet downloads, remote logins, etc.
-
- "email" (or "Internet email", "netmail") can be exchanged with a wide
- variety of systems connected directly and indirectly to the Internet. The
- email may travel solely over the Internet, or it may traverse other
- networks and systems.
-
- "USENET" is the collection of computers all over the world that exchange
- USENET news -- thousands of "newsgroups" (like forums, or echos) on a wide
- range of topics. The newsgroup articles are distributed all over the world
- to USENET sites that wish to carry them (sometimes over the Internet,
- sometimes not), where people read and respond to them.
-
- The "NSFNET" is one of the backbones of the Internet in the US. It is
- funded by the NSF, which restricts traffic over the NSFNET to "open
- research and education in and among US research and instructional
- institutions, plus research arms of for-profit firms when engaged in
- open scholarly communication and research." Your Internet provider
- can give you more details about acceptable use, and alternatives
- should you need to use the Internet in other ways.
-
- ------------------------------
-
- ~From: PDIAL -5-
- ~Subject: What The PDIAL Is
-
- This is a list of Internet service providers offering public access
- dialins and outgoing Internet access (ftp, telnet, etc.). Most of
- them provide email and USENET news and other services as well.
-
- If one of these systems is not accessible to you and you need email or
- USENET access, but *don't* need ftp or telnet, you have many more
- public access systems from which to choose. Public access systems
- without ftp or telnet are *not* listed in this list, however. See the
- nixpub (alt.bbs, comp.misc) list and other BBS lists.
-
- Some of these providers offer time-shared access to a shell or BBS
- program on a computer connected directly to the Internet, through
- which you can FTP or telnet to other systems on the Internet. Usually
- other services are provided as well. Generally, you need only a modem
- and terminal or terminal emulator to access these systems. Check for
- "shell", "bbs", or "menu" on the "services" line.
-
- Other providers connect you directly to the Internet via SLIP or PPP
- when you dial in. For these you need a computer system capable of
- running the software to interface with the Internet, e.g., a Unix
- machine, PC, or Mac. Check for "SLIP", or "PPP" on the services
- line.
-
- While I have included all sites for which I have complete information,
- this list is surely incomplete. Please send any additions or
- corrections to "kaminski@netcom.com".

-
- Fees are for personal dialup accounts with outgoing Internet access;
- most sites have other classes of service with other rate structures as
- well. Most support email and netnews along with the listed services.
-
- "Long distance: provided by user" means you need to use services such
- as PC Pursuit or other long distance services.
