"A Network by Any Other Name..."
Well, I've certainly been away too long, what with all the
young, cute, Yale women lounging around the Computer Center.
Sorry, I have a one-track mind.
"Excuse me, do you know how to set tabs in Xedit?" she asks.
No, but by God, I wish I did.
Well, now that I have totally alienated most of the readers of
the female persuasion, I might as well get down to business.
As you well know, the most recent previous issue of NetMonth
was October, 1990. Now, I could give you the gory details of
why it has taken so long to get an issue out, but I seem to do
that in every issue, so I'll spare you this time.
I spend a good portion of my daylight hours at a Fortune Ten
company, setting up, administering, troubleshooting, and
babysitting a PC network with about 200 workstations (large,
but not huge by todays standards). Somewhere along the line I
became the resident "network guru", which I am hoping somehow
qualifies me to write this editorial: Namely, a brief
comparison of PC networks and networks like BITNET.
I'm not talking about wiring, here. Rather, I'm more
interested in the things we do with our respective networks,
how they are different, and how they are the same.
My first inclination was to think that PC networks and
mainframe networks are completely different animals, and that
any attempt at comparison would be a waste of editorial space.
Since you are reading this, I obviously took a little more time
to think about it. Here are the results:
* Electronic mail: The obvious one. While our my LAN users
continue to use PROFS on the mainframe, I know that PC LAN mail
packages are a hot market these days. Users on both types of
1
Page 2
network use mail in different ways, though. PC LAN mail is
typically a one-on-one proposition. By contrast, we have
facilities like LISTSERV which enables many-to-many
communications, organized by interest.
Some of this difference has to do with size. When you are
dealing with as many people as there are in BITNET and the
Internet, the communications *has* to be organized in some way.
* Interactive messaging: The PC LAN allows users to send
messages from one person to another (and sometimes from one
user to *everyone*). This is in sharp contrast to BITNET with
the Relay service, which allows for a kind of textual
teleconferencing. The reason for this, as far as I can tell,
is that in the LAN, if I want to have a conversation with
Cindy, Rachel, Mike, and Sue, I'll hold a meeting. This doen't
work very well in BITNET, where the person you want to talk
with is a few time-zones away.
* Application sharing: The domain of the LAN. LISTSERV and
other servers are applications, to be sure, but I think they
fall more into the categories of mail services and file
sharing. This really does have something to do with the
network hardware, however. Using the types of network links we
have today (as well as the traffic) application sharing would
be woefully slow.
* File sharing: The other obvious one. We do it in different
ways, of course. We have to go through a series of commands to
retrieve a file from a server and look at it, where the LAN
user can look at (and use) a file while it is on a server.
Given the right security, both types of users can even change
the given files, although this is less likely in in BITNET.
* Emphasis: While each network offers similar types of
services, the emphasis is decidedly different. PC networks
emphasize application and file sharing, while BITNET is used
mostly as a communications medium. Each network type is
suitably strong in its primary service. The question is, are
these strengths the result of they way each network is used, or
is each network used the way it is because of its strengths?
What are your thoughts on this question of questions? Send your
sparkling analysis and thoughtful wit to BITLIB@YALEVM.
Virtually,
Chris

Every school periodically reviews networking memberships just
as it reviews its other affiliations and expenses. As dual
memberships in CREN (BITNET and CSnet) and regional or direct
Internet connections have grown, two questions arise:
1. Should a school continue membership in CREN in addition to
membership in a regional?; and
2. Is such dual membership in conflict with our common goal of
creating an integrated and truly outstanding National Research
and Education Network (NREN)?.
We believe that it is important to maintain your CREN
membership at least until the NREN exists with access rules,
funding, and usage policies which enable a smooth and complete
transition from current connectivity and capabilities to the
new expanded capabilities we aspire to achieve on the NREN.
This conclusion is based on a review of the current status of
CREN networks and of the NREN and of a recognition that the
NSFnet is not the NREN. The following principles are very
important to higher education and have been implemented on CREN
networks:
* CREN networks serve scholars in every discipline.
* CREN networks provide instructional and administrative
support in addition to research support.
* CREN networks support linkages to industrial, federal, and
other higher educational partners.
* CREN networks provide national and international linkages and
have taken a leadership role in creating global scholarly
connectivity.
* CREN networks are managed by members in support of the
broadest possible network access and connectivity consistent
with the non-commercial goals of its members.
1
Page 4
* CREN networks have a low entry cost for smaller schools,
facilitating the goal of universal connectivity.
* CREN(BITNET) is committed to providing basic network services
with no traffic-based charges or accounting.
* CREN networks are mature and financially stable, entirely
supported by members and not dependent on the vagaries of
external funding or control.
* CREN networks are actively striving to reduce the cost of
membership. (For example, recently released software (VMnet)
enables some institutions connected to the internet to
eliminate their physical BITNET lines.) CREN has also
actively negotiated member discounts for software and hardware
which often exceed member dues.
By contrast, the management, governance, funding, access rules,
and policies of NREN have not been established. The interim
network called NSFnet while currently pursuing many of the
principles itemized above, is governed by rules established by
the Federal Research Interagency Coordinating Committee
(FRICC), and those rules could change. Similarly, most
regional networks pursue many of these principles, but
charging, usage and other policies of the regional networks
differ widely today and are subject to change.
At a NASULGC meeting in Washington in January of 1990, Eric
Bloch, Director of the National Science Foundation, indicated
that a review was underway that might restrict access to NSFnet
to the scientific and engineering research community. The
Office of Science and Technology Report dated 5/23/89 and
titled "The Federal High Performance Computing Program," calls
for Federal funding to establish a federally governed NREN
evolving to a commercial network which could include usage
charges. Several prestigious national committees have
recommended that the government fund individual researchers and
not the network. These researchers would then be free to buy
whatever network services they needed from commercial networks.
This policy would disenfranchise many current network users.
CREN is determined to be an advocate for an NREN which will
gracefully accommodate all of its users. When this is
established, CREN will merge, disband, or cooperate with the
NREN as appropriate to advance that network.
CREN merits your continued membership and support to maintain
and improve networking in higher education and beyond.

***
* Digital Games Review Digest (from Dave Taylor): This digest
is devoted to computer and video game reviews. We're
interested in just about any games that run on computers,
including IBM PC, Atari, Amiga, Macintosh, Apple II and Unix
computers, as well as video games for the Nintendo, Sega, NEC,
Atari, and so on. We also cover games for the portable market
(e.g. the Atari Lynx and Nintendo GameBoy).
This is a *REVIEWS ONLY* digest, with all submissions edited to
fit into a common and consistent format. Discussion of the
relative merits of different gaming computers, technical
discussion of resolution required to display 3D graphics, and
general flaming and hostility will be left to the many
different forums appropriate for that type of discussion.
If you would like to subscribe to this digest, please send a
subscription request note including your favored email return
address to:
digital-games-request@Digital-Games.Intuitive.Com
If you would like to submit some reviews to a future issue,
please send your contributions to:
digital-games-submissions@Digital-Games.Intuitive.Com
We think Digital Game Review Digest can prove to be a terrific
alternative to the unpleasant, hostile flame wars that seem to
result in just about any game review being posted to the
networks...and if you're willing, we'll get another nice
alternative information source for game recommendations and
reviews to boot!
* US Dept of Commerce Rules (from Jim Conklin): The following
files, all from LISTSERV@BITNIC, contain information about the
U.S. Department of Commerce rules for general availability of
data which may be useful to participants in BITNET and its
international Cooperating Networks:
1
Page 6
LEGAL GTDA: The GTDA rules for info which may be generally
distributed without special Dept of Commerce license
LEGAL COMMERCE: The Letter of Clarification to CREN (BITNET)
from the U.S. Department of Commerce, explaining the issues
involved in allowing East Block countries to connect to BITNET
(directly or via EARN)
LEGAL COUNSEL: The opinion of the CREN counsel regarding the
implications of allowing the East Block countries to connect to
BITNET
CREN and BITNIC are not staffed to follow the changes in
Department of Commerce rules in detail. We will gladly post
advisory memoranda that are made available to us by the
Department or by others, however. At present, the above
constitute the online information.
All organizations which use the networks are responsible for
ensuring their own compliance to the Department of Commerce
Rules, so Member Representatives, Information Representatives,
and others in positions of responsibility in the organizations
which participate in BITNET or other networks should take the
time to become familiar with these files and to educate their
faculty, students, and staff about these responsibilities.
* New Countries and Cooperating Networks (from Jim Conklin):
Ecuador has recently established a Cooperating Network,
ECUANET. Colombia established one several months ago about
which no announcement was made; the Colombian net is RUNCOL.
Those of you interested in East Block connection but not
following the special-interest groups devoted to this topic
will be pleased to learn that Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and
Poland now have active nodes on the network.
* New List of Lists Available (from David Avery): Dartmouth
maintains a merged list of the LISTSERV lists on Bitnet and the
Interest Group lists on the Internet. It is a single file with
one line for each mailing list. The list has been updated
monthly for the last year and has a stable format. Each line
consists of seven fields, delimited by tabs. This month's list
contains information about 1,770 lists. The fields are:
Category (Computing, Science, Humanities, etc)
List name
"Mail to" address for submitting to the list
"Command to" address for subscribing, unsubing
1
Page 7
One line description of the list subject
Email address for the owner of the list
Long description of the list, up to 450 characters.
This list-of-lists differs from some similiar lists in that:
Duplicate entries are deleted
Lists obviously intended only for local use are omitted
Information about the lists is field delimited
Both Internet and BITNET lists are included
To get this file, send the command SENDME LISTSERV LISTS to
LISTSERV@DARTCMS1 via mail or message.
* BITNET Working Group Formed (from Jim Conklin): The
Technical Committee of the CREN Board is pleased to announce
the formation of a BITNET Working Group of experienced
technical professionals active in the BITNET community. The
purpose of this group is to work with the BITNIC staff and the
CREN Technical Committee in an advisory capacity.
The BITNET Working Group is expected, with input from the
BITNET community, to evaluate, develop, and propose technical
practices and procedures for consideration by the Technical
Committee. The Working Group will be the primary advisory body
to the CREN Technical Committee regarding BITNET issues. Its
initial activities are expected to include, but not be limited
to, implementation of the new BITEARN Nodes structure, the
development and implementation of BITNET standards, the
handling of domain names within BITNET, and the related issue
of services provided by BITNET-Internet gateways.
The term of service on the BITNET Working Group will be one
year, individually renewable at the discretion of the CREN
Technical Committee. The initial Working Group includes the
following people:
Harry Williams, Marist
John Wagner, Princeton
Lee Varian, Princeton
Mark Strawcutter, Indiana U. of Penn.
Richard Schafer, Rice
David Lippke, U. Texas
John Klensin, MIT
Terry Kennedy, St. Peters
Roger Fajman, NIH
Bruce Crabill, UMD
Scott Bradner, Harvard

We believe that the efforts of this select group will
significantly enhance the ability of the Technical Committee to
respond to the needs of the BITNET community.

Mark Laubach, Chairman
Doug Bigelow, Vice Chairman
Bill Yundt
* A new mail server (from Ron Chennells): MAILBASE (at
MAILBASE@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK) is a prototype mailing list
management/file server modeled after LISTSERV. It is being
developed as part of the NISP (Networked Information Services
Project) based at Newcastle University. It uses an INGRES
database, and accepts commands via mail. Send it the command
HELP to get started.
* Soviet Union Digest (from John B. Harlan): USSR-D (USSR news
& information digest) is a regular digest of traffic culled
from USSR-L (USSR news & information list), a public discussion
and distribution list dedicated to the dissemination and
analysis of non-classified news and information regarding the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its past and present
(if not future) constituent Soviet Socialist Republics. To
subscribe send the command Sub USSR-D Your_full_name to
LISTSERV@INDYCMS.

*** Announcing EJournal
***
*** by Ted Jennings and Ron Bangel
***
*** State University of New York
***
*** EJOURNAL@ALBNYVMS
***
EJournal is an all-electronic, Bitnet/Internet distributed,
peer-reviewed, academic periodical. We are particularly
interested in theory and praxis surrounding the creation,
transmission, storage, interpretation, alteration and
replication of electronic text. We are also interested in the
broader social, psychological, literary, economic and
pedagogical implications of computer-mediated networks. Texts
that address virtually any subject across this broad spectrum
will be given thoughtful consideration.
Members of the electronic-network community and others
interested in it make up a large portion of our audience.
Therefore we would be interested (for example) in essays about
whether or not anyone should own a communication that has been
shared electronically, about the pragmatics of cataloguing and
indexing electronic publications, about net-based collaborative
learning, about artful uses of hypertext, about the challenges
that distance learning may offer to residential campuses, about
the role of The Matrix in cultural history and Utopian polemic,
about digitally recorded aleatoric fiction, about the
significance of resemblances between the electronic matrix and
neural systems, ... and so forth.
The journal's essays will be available free to Bitnet/Internet
addresses. Recipients may make paper copies; EJournal will
provide authenticated paper copy from our read-only archive for
use by academic deans or other supervisors. Individual essays,
reviews, stories -- texts -- sent to us will be disseminated to
subscribers as soon as they have been through the editorial
process, which will also be "paperless." We expect to offer
access through libraries to our electronic Contents, Abstracts,
and Keywords, and to be indexed and abstracted in appropriate
places.
EJournal is now soliciting essays for possible publication. We
will be happy to consider reviews, letters, and (eventually)
annotations that ought to accompany texts we have already
published. We would be happy to add interested specialists and
generalists to our panel of consulting editors. Please send
essays for review, and inquiries, to EJOURNAL@ALBNYVMS

PSRT-L on LISTSERV@UMCVMB
PSRT-L@UMCVMB is a moderated discussion list on Bitnet which
deals with issues of interest to professional political
scientists, both researchers and teachers. Submissions from
all sub-fields of political science as well as related
disciplines are encouraged. The list is not intended to serve
as a public forum for debate over current issues in politics,
as other lists already fill that niche. Rather it is intended
to provide an opportunity for political scientists to present
their ideas and ongoing research for discussion, to consider
the directions in which the discipline is advancing, and to
encourage the dissemination of new concepts in research and
teaching. In addition to ongoing discussions, the list editors
would like to post announcements of job openings and upcoming
conferences.
LibRef-L on LISTSERV@KENTVM
This list is a discussion of the changing environment of
library reference services and activities. Topics include
traditional reference services, patron expectations, staff
training, as well the impact of CD-ROM and online searching on
reference service. This forum will serve as a professional
networking and information source. We will share ideas,
solutions and experiences. This list is run from the LISTSERV
at Kent State University and moderated by the Reference
Librarians at Kent State University Libraries.
OPTICS@TOWSONVX
OPTICS is an open list devoted to the interchange of ideas,
discussions and meeting announcements in the field of optics.
You are welcome to send any newsworthy item to OPTICS@TOWSONVX
or OPTICS@TOE.TOWSON.EDU and it will be forwarded to the
mailing list. For example, If you will be giving a lecture
(colloquium), organizing a scientific meeting in some optic
related discipline or if you would just like to comment in some
specific area of optics please send a message and it will be
posted on the list. To add your name to the list send a mail
message to MAILSERV@TOWSONVX or MAILSERV@TOE.TOWSON.EDU with
the command SUBSCRIBE OPTICS.
FFP-L on LISTSERV@UIUCVMD
The FFP-L electronic mailing list is a forum for the discussion
of file formats and protocols. This includes the file formats
1
Page 12
used by various archiving programs, the encodings used to
transfer data via electronic mail and other text-only media,
and other networking protocols such as DECNET, UUCP, TCP/IP and
OSI. Discussion of file formats are welcome, including
UUENCODE, XXENCODE, LCODER, SUPENCOD, ARC, ZIP, ZOO, TAR,
COMPRESS, SFIF, GIF, TIFF, PBM, NETDATA, SHAR, and any others.
HSPNET-L on LISTSERV@ALBNYDH2
HSPNET-L provides consultation, a monthly digest, and a data
base of hospital networks. It emphasizes restoration and
extension of consulting for rural hospitals by connection to
major medical centers. All aspects (hardware, software, staff
training, confidentiality of patient data, etc) will be
covered. Particular attention will be paid to existing
networks both in USA and abroad. Transmission of both text and
medical image data will be considered via both land- lines and
satellite. The cost-effectiveness of such distance-consulting
will be reviewed in the light of declining rural hospital
acute-care capabilities, and the economic benefits of keeping
the patient in the rural area.
INDOLOGY on LISTSERV@LIVERPOOL.AC.UK
The INDOLOGY list is chiefly aimed at academics interested in
the study of classical India. The group might be expected to
discuss topics such as the history of linguistics, Indo-
european philology and grammar, issues of character set
encoding, the location of citations, and the exchange of e-
texts. Note that you must send the SUBSCRIBE command to this
LISTSERV via mail.
Pol-Econ on LISTSERV@SHSU
Pol-Econ is a new list to provide an unmoderated environment
where issues, questions, comments, ideas, and uses of Political
Economy as a logical framework can be discussed. In a broad
sense, this includes virtually anything dealing with economics.
The explicit purpose of Pol-Econ is to provide timely
interchange between subscribers, to provide a forum where
interesting questions can be addressed within the context of
interactive exchange between many individuals, to discuss the
evolution and application of Political Economy, to announce
professional meetings, calls for papers, etc., and to provide
partial tables of contents for current periodicals. As is the
case on all unmoderated lists, the discussion and topics are
1
Page 13
only limited by the participation and interest of its
subscribers. Subscribers are welcome to take an active role by
posting to Pol-Econ or an inactive role by monitoring the list.
Although not necessary for participation, it shall be assumed
that subscribers are basically familiar with technical economic
jargon. Note that you must send the SUBSCRIBE command to this
list server via mail.

interest to dog owners. A full statement of purpose, plus any
applicable restrictions, will be automatically mailed to new
subscribers. Monthly notebooks will be kept at PCCVM.
LIBADMIN on LISTSERV@UMAB
LIBADMIN is an electronic mailing list dealing with issues of
library administration and management. The list is intended to
serve as a vehicle of communication to enhance and promote
discussion among library administrators and managers. The goal
of LIBADMIN, then, is to provide a sort of electronic
brainstorming session. The University of Maryland serves as
host to the listserver.
SUEARN-L on LISTSERV@UBVM
The SUEARN-L consists of news items, articles, and how-to
questions about the ongoing work on connecting the U.S.S.R. to
international computer networks (the internet) contributed by
its readers, cross-posted from other mailing lists, and retyped
(usually without permission) from the "real" press. Topics
often discussed include directions on reaching Soviet sites by
e-mail, discussions of how modems and other equipment work over
Soviet phone lines, technology export restrictions, and
prospects for connecting more sites to the net.
ACTNOW-L on LISTSERV@BROWNVM
ACTNOW-L exists to fulfil three goals: 1. To act as an
information repository for data on college activism, events and
items of importance. 2. To act as a "meeting place" where
college students can discuss events and their implications
both on their home campuses and elsewhere. 3. To act as a
forum for the discussion of issues relating to college
students, faculty, and administration; and to the academic
world in general.
BIRDCHAT on LISTSERV@ARIZVM1
BIRDCHAT is an unmoderated discussion list on wild birds,
birding, and birders. The subscribers will set the tone of the
discussion and the directions it will take. Our only hope is
that BIRDCHAT users will stick to wild birds and leave messages
about pet birds and falconry to other venues.
