UUNET's AlterNet service offers a public network service as
an attractive option to organizations seeking an Internet
connection or an alternative to providing their own private
networks, while gaining superior connectivity to their
domestic and international sites. AlterNet supports both
TCP/IP and OSI connections. AlterNet connections are avail-
able at rates ranging from 9.6 kbps to full T-1 speeds at
any of our hub locations. The 56k to Anywhere program is
available at every Sprint Point of Presence in the continen-
tal US (over 300 locations and 24 major cities). Customers
also have the option of choosing SLIP or PPP connectivity
over V.32 and V.32bis modems via dial-up or dedicated lines.
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
AlterNet is on the Internet and directly connects to net-
works in India, South Africa, Thailand, Russia, Finland and
Canada. There are no NSFNET restrictions on the traffic to
these and other directly connected networks.
