  24.             SURAnet, the Southeastern Universities Research  Association
  25.             Network, is a project of SURA, the Southeastern Universities
  26.             Research Assocation. SURA is a  consortium  of  universities
  27.             which  supports, manages, and operates projects too large or
  28.             complex to be handled by a single university.
  29.  
  30.             SURAnet, a TCP/IP network, is one of  the  NSFNET  mid-level
  31.             networks.  Connectivity  is  provided  via a T-1 backbone of
  32.             co-located equipment  housed  in  MCI  points  of  presence.
  33.             Future plans include migration to a T-3 backbone.
  34.  
  35.             SURAnet is connected to the  NSFNET  backbone  and  provides
  36.             facilities for the FIX-East connections.
  37.  
  38.             SURAnet's geographic area includes the District of  Columbia
  39.             and  13  states  in  the southeastern US: Alabama, Delaware,
  40.             Florida, Georgia,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maryland,  Missis-
  41.             sippi,  North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
  42.             and West Virginia.
  43.  
  44.             While SURA, the parent  organization,  is  a  consortium  of
  45.             academic  organizations,  SURAnet  members comprise approxi-
  46.             mately two-thirds academic institutions and  one-third  non-
  47.             academic sites.
