Massachsetts Public Higher Education - Connectivity to NSFNET

这项提案请求国家科学基金会在全州范围内支持马萨诸塞州公立高等教育系统通过新英格兰学术和研究网络(NEARNET)与NSFnet的连接。该提案可以分为两个部分。其中一部分将使用路由器和TCP/IP将8个机构连接到NSFnet。第二部分将向另外21个校区(主要是两年制院校)提供终端登录到能够接入互联网的中央计算机的能力，方法是利用现有的支持终端登录的X.25网络。

This proposal requested support form the National Science Foundation statewide connectivity for the Massachusetts system of public higher education to the NSFNET through the New England Academic and Research Network (NEARNET). The proposal can be divided into two parts. One part would connect eight institutions to the NSFNET using routers and TCP/IP. The second part would be to provide another 21 campuses (mostly two year institutions) the ability to do a terminal logon to a central computer that had access to the internet by utilizing an existing X.25 network that supports terminal logons.
