The CSNET Info-Server has been consolidated with the Info-
Server operated by the NSF Network Service Center (NNSC).
See Section 6.3.
o+ The Info-Server: info-server@nnsc.nsf.net. This
automatic program distributes documents in response to
specially formatted messages. The documents are also
available to Internet users through standard anonymous
FTP login.
For instructions about this and other services, send a mes-
sage to info-server@nnsc.nsf.net with "HELP" in the body of
the message.
Other User Services operated by the CSNET CIC were:
o+ The User Name Server: Discontinued. There are no plan
to revive this service.
o+ Fixaddr: This program is a helpful first step in con-
verting mailing lists to to up-to-date domain-style
addresses. The NNSC plans restore it if there is suf-
ficient demand.
o+ Nslookup: For hosts that do not have access to domain
servers, the nslookup program accepts domain names or
IP addresses and sends back a message containing all
domain nameserver records (not just the MX ones).
This program has been temporarily discontinued, but
may be revived in the near future.
