Hi,

This is just a reminder that the fourth NEARnet mini-seminar, "NEARnet
Services" (including such topics as Domain Name Service, Network Time
Protocol, and Network News) will be held on 18 September 1992 in BBN's
Newman Auditorium. Included below are portions of the original
mini-seminar series announcement and an agenda. 

Please note the following registration guidelines:

1. Non-voucher registrations will now be accepted any time before the
registration deadlines instead of just during the one week of general
registration two weeks prior to each seminar.

2. Registration for each seminar needs to close one week (on 9/11/92
for the next seminar) before the seminar to allow NEARnet staff time
to prepare materials, order refreshments and finalize details.

3. Also, please send in your vouchers/checks with your registrations.
We are not prepared to handle registrations and receive
vouchers/checks the day of a seminar.

On behalf of the staff I thank you for your cooperation and look
forward to seeing you on September 18.

Sincerely,
Jim Naro
NEARnet User Services.

        NEARnet Services - Friday, September 18
