The Relaynet International Message Exchange (RIME) consists of some 1,000 systems (1992). Relcom means 'Russian Electronic Communications.' This company provides email, other network services, a gateway to Internet, and access to Usenet. In early 1992, RELCOM had regional nodes in 25 cities of the xUSSR connecting over 1,000 organizations or 30,000 users. RELCOM had a gateway to IASNET. Financial online service. Reuters Information Systems SprintMail Commercial vendor of email services. In 1991, they had local nodes serving customers in 108 countries through its SprintNet network. STN International The Scientific & Technical Information Network is operated cooperatively by Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ) in Germany, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) of the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST). Databases in Science, Technology, Patents, and Business. TWICS BeeLINE English language Japanese online service with PARTIcipate, Caucus and Usenet netnews. UMI/Data Courier Unison North American conferencing service using PARTIcipate software. UUCP UUCP (UNIX to UNIX Copy) is a protocol, a set of files and a set of commands to copy files from one UNIX computer to another. This copying procedure is the core of the UUCP network, a loose association of systems all communicating with the UUCP protocol. UNIX computers can participate in the UUCP network (using leased line or dial up) through any other UNIX host. The network now also has many MS DOS and other hosts, and consisted of 18,800 hosts in October 1994 (source: UUCP map) serving more than 564,000 users (source: Matrix News). The UUCP network is based on two systems connecting to each other at specific intervals, and executing any work scheduled for either of them. For example, the system Oregano calls the system Basil once every two hours. If there's mail waiting for Oregano, Basil will send it at that time. Likewise, Oregano will at that time send any mail waiting for Basil. There are databases with connectivity information (UUCP maps), and programs (pathalias) that will help you decide the correct routing of messages. However, many UUCP hosts are not registered in the UUCP map. 9 of 11 23.11.2009 15:49
Selected online services http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v1.html EUNET is a UUCP based network in Europe. JUNET is an equivalent network in Japan. There are many gateway machines that exchange mail between UUCP and the Internet. Among these, UUNET.UU.NET is among the most frequently used (http://www.uu.net). Usenet (User Network) Usenet, Netnews, or just "News" are common terms for a large many to many conferencing (only) system distributed through UUCP, Internet, FidoNet, and BITNET. The European portion of Usenet is called EUNET (European Unix NET). This grassroots driven "network" has grown out of the global university and research domains. It is a service rather than a real network. It is not an organization, and has no central authority. In 1993, Usenet's newsgroups were carried by over 69,000 host computers (sites) in five continents, and had over 1,991,000 users (source: Brian Reid). In January 1995, Reid estimated 16.5 million users. In February, the number of sites were estimated at 260,000 (source: The Internet Index). Many of these sites also have access to the Internet. The local administrator of each node in the network decides what newsgroups to receive and make available to its users. Few systems offer access to all of them. NetNews is organized in groups of 'conferences'. Each classification is organized into groups and subgroups according to topic. As of June 1, 1993, there were 4500 newsgroups and 2500 regional newsgroups. Several sites are carrying over 2600 topics. In July 1995, there were over 15,000 newsgroups. In December 1996, PC/Computing estimated the number of newsgroups at over 28,000. On a typical day in December 1993, 43,000 Usenet articles were posted. In November 1996, 754 megabytes of information were posted daily to Usenet. The groups distributed worldwide are divided into seven broad classifications: "comp" Topics of interest to both computer professionals and hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software source, and information on hardware and software systems. "sci" Discussions marked by special and usually practical knowledge, about research in or application of the established sciences. "misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple categories. "soc" Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing. "talk" Groups largely debate oriented and tending to feature long discussions without resolution and without much useful information. "news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves. "rec" Groups oriented toward hobbies and recreational activities. "alt" Also available are many "alternative" hierarchies, like: True anarchy; anything and everything can and does appear. Subjects include sex, and privacy. "biz" Business related groups "clari" Newsgroups gatewayed from commercial news services and other 'official' sources. Most Netnews hosts offer both global and local conferences. These include Australian and Australasian (aus), and Jewish (shamash) newsgroups; groups coming from BITNET (bit), /CL Netz (cl), Z Netz (z netz), and Fidonet (fido) ; German (de), Japanese (fj), French (fr), Norwegian (no), Cyrillic (relcom), and Finnish (sfnet) 10 of 11 23.11.2009 15:49
