kristoff@GENBANK.BIO.NET (Dave Kristofferson) (02/16/91)
The following from Steve Goldstein is of sufficiently widespread interest that I am reposting it to BIONEWS. For those BITNETers out there who are still looking for the path to salvation, here is where to start.

What follows is a relatively up-t-handbook and selectively updated, as noted below). It deals only with the United States. For general information and specific assistance, NSF supports the NSF Network Service Center <nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net> (617)873-3400 to answer your questions. If you have questions about connecting outside the United States (e.g., most of Western Europe, Canada, Mexico, some of South America, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Korea) I will try to refer you to the appropriate organization, though I suggest you try the NNSC first; they are very competent and resourceful.
