There are 6 high schools in Washington and Oregon that 
are connected to the Internet via NWnet. It is part of a NWnet
project. 

There is also the SuperQuest project that connects High Schools
to Super Computers, but I don't have details about systems that
are hooked up under that project.

     As a matter of fact, the entire Poudre-R1 school district
in Fort Collins, Colorado has Internet access.  Other school
districts in Colorado are also planning to "link up".  Poudre-R1
has two Unix boxes that act as the Internet hosts.  The boxes
themselves are setting at one of the local high schools where
the students can use Xwindows.  However the rest of the district
uses dial-up, but progress is being made toward direct connection
for 5 more schools shortly and the rest later on.  The school
district consists of more than 36 schools some of them being
mountain schools.
     We have had tremendous success with the project.  Our 
systems offer the typical Internet tools, such as, telnet and
ftp.  However, we also have a local Gopher server containing
subsections relating to the various classes. We are also testing out
an IRC (Internet Relay Chat - it's like an electronic CB) server
for the K-12 environment, and e-mail.  We also have a UseNet
News feed (which I would have used to post this message from,
but we have just upgraded our operating system and the UseNet
system is still rebuilding itself).  
    The school district works in close cooperation with Colorado
State University which is also in Fort Collins, Colorado.  CSU
provides an individual, namely myself, to help provide technical
support and instructional help.  Student of all ages, but 
primarily 7th - 12th grades use the system daily for e-mail,
telnet, ftp, gopher, UseNet News, WAIS and chat.  For example,
the Campaign '92 documents available via gopher and NASA
SpaceLink are very big attractions along with electronic pen-pals
and connetions to foreign gopher servers.  In addition, the machines 
provide a basis for learning C programming and Unix from anywhere in 
the district.  Also, high school students may electronically apply for 
admission to CSU using the Internet.  
     All in all it has been a very successful project.  However, there 
is a need for more curriculum-based use of the Internet, but this is 
being developed both here and in a similar project in Boulder, Colorado. 
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.  We 
have lots of information available on how to set up Internet sites in 
school districts, along with stacks of training material and advice.

I found the collections in pit-manager is quite impressive, but I really
don't like the filenames they gave to the FAQ files.  It is always like
"alt_internet_service_F_A_Q_(DEC_92)...".  Since Unix (at least mine) can
not edit command line,  if I type a single character wrong, I have to
go through it again, and it made me panic, esp. those '_'s.

   As a matter of interest, how do you go about counting them,
without killing the system with a storm of packets? 
   And do you count dial-up systems, like this one?  (There are
more than 400 sites that dial in to demon.co.uk).

No idea if it's available via the net, but I have on my desk a nice 
resource called "Consumer's Resource handbook" available for free by 
writing "Handbook, Consumer Information Center, Pueblo, CO 81009" which
lists all sorts of general consumer info, contact addresses, warnings on
mail fraud, govt. agencies, etc. I think it's something that I asked for
off the list of free publications, which is probably available from the
same place.

Perhaps AMIX should use a 1-900 number for NA residents.. either that or call

My question is this.

1--in particular, id like to access the telnet service wp.psi.net,
but while i get connected, the connection immediately goes up in
smoke (locked keyboard, return to dos, and the like).  what gives
and what can be done to remedy it?

2--in general, what im after is good email directories--id like
to get addresses of folks in my field both in the us and abroad.
any suggestions about good ways to track down people's email
addresses?

Rutgers University has an info system that I think you can telnet to.
Try info.rutgers.edu.  Then use the menu to take you from:
"News_n_Events" to "Weather" to "Weather" to "3", which is Ski Reports.

I am a student at Stanford University in California.  I would like to be 
able to send email messages home to my parents in HongKong.  I would like to 
know if we could subscribe to internet from home.  If not and we have to 
subscribe to another network such as Compuserve or AT&T, how do I email to 
them at home from Stanford.  Could I use the main internet network computers?
Do I have to use a special password to transfer from internet to another
network?  I am a complete novice at this so please give all details explicitly.
I don't subscribe to the newsgroup so please email to me at the following 
address.  Thankyou in advance for your information.  

Aseem Rangnekar.
