UNINETT is the Norwegian academic and research data network.
Its purpose is to support research and education and colla-
borative work in and among academic and non-profit research
organizations in Norway by providing access to computer net-
works and network resources. As the Norwegian branch of the
Internet, EARN/BITNET, the European academic DECnet, and
OSInet/IXI, UNINETT offers a variety of services connecting
the Norwegian academic society to the rest of the academic
world.
Electronic mail, file transfer, terminal access, directory
services, USENET Network News and the Gopher information
service are among the services available on the UNINETT net-
work.
By March 1993, about 170 academic and research organizations
are connected to the UNINETT backbone, giving national and
international connection to some 19700 IP hosts, a few hun-
dred DECnet hosts and X.400 MTAs, and 3 EARN/BITNET nodes.
UNINETT is a member of NORDUnet, which is a cooperative
effort of the academic networks in all of the Nordic coun-
tries and is connected internationally through the NORDUnet
network.
