To get onto the ARPANET, you need to have approval from DARPA, which
typically means that you need to be working on defense contracts or
research projects. To get onto other parts of the Internet can,
however, be easier. Does anyone have a good summary of networks with
IP-level connectivity to the ARPANET and such? I'll start the list
with
CSNet X.25net
NSFNET
For the real information on the ARPANET itself, you can get the
Information Brochure from SRI-NIC, by sending mail
To: SERVICE@SRI-NIC.ARPA
Subject: NETINFO AIB.DOC
Reply-To: (your address)
The "(your address)" needs to be in a format usable by a
non-domain-server ARPANET site. If you know your From: line is going
to be acceptable by the time it gets there, then you don't need to
Reply-To:. If you can't get this to work at all, send me mail and
I'll try to send it to you.
