- 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.
