NICOLAS (Network Information Center On Line Aid System) is a
menu-driven network user help system that functions both as
an information server and an inter-network gateway. As an
information server, NICOLAS provides syntaxes for inter-
network mail addressing, general information about wide-area
networks, networking-related "how to" files, information on
current NASA missions & projects, and a variety of network-
and computer-related information of specific interest to the
NASA-Goddard community. As an automated inter-network gate-
way, NICOLAS enables users to log into their NASAMail and
GSFCMail accounts, connect directly to a number of other on-
line resources, and perform a variety of "yellow pages"
functions.
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
Access is made via TELNET to dftnic.gsfc.nasa.gov with the

employees, researchers, and contractors, all services are
available to users of the Internet.
