[comp.os.vms] Getting on the Arpanet...

elliston@rob.UUCP ( Keith Elliston) (04/11/89)

I'm not sure which groups this should go to... so I chose the ones I felt would
respond....

I need to find out how one gets his computer (Vax or Unix) onto the internet,
specifically onto Arpanet.  I have no idea how this is done, so I need to start
with the very basic basics.  Just to narrow down the problem, I will try to
clarify the situation.

We (figuratively) are a commercial outfit that need s access to electronic mail
and FTP over the internet.  We specifically want our scientists to interact withother scientist (mostly academic scientists) on the nets, and be able to exchange software, data, and manuscripts at will.  We currently have a usenet feed,
but that just doesnt have the capability that we need.

So... where do I start, what does it cost, what can/can't I do... help!?!?

I look forward to loads of info....
