Nashville State Technical Institute is one of five small Nashville institutions which Vanderbilt University is assisting in connecting to NSFNET. The 56,000 bit per second connection is made through the mid-level network SURANET using the SURANET connection Vanderbilt has had for two years. Two of the institutions are historically black, two are small liberal arts institutions that emphasize teaching rather than research, and one is a two-year technological school. Nashville State is the two-year technical school. Benefits of the NSFNET connection include file transfers, electronic mail communication between local and remote researchers, and remote login to and use of supercomputers and other research facilities. In addition, the local institutions have access to Vanderbilt's resources, and add another dimension to the diversity of resources Vanderbilt can offer its students. Cross- registration, software sharing and other benefits also result from the network.

纳什维尔州立技术学院是范德比尔特大学协助连接到NSFNET的五所纳什维尔小型机构之一。每秒56000比特的连接是通过中级网络SURANET实现的，使用的是Vanderbilt已经使用了两年的SURANET连接。其中两所是历史上的黑人学校，两所是强调教学而非研究的小型文科学校，还有一所是两年制的技术学校。纳什维尔州立大学是一所两年制的技术学校。NSFNET连接的好处包括文件传输，本地和远程研究人员之间的电子邮件通信，以及远程登录和使用超级计算机和其他研究设施。此外，当地机构可以使用范德比尔特的资源，这为范德比尔特可以为学生提供的资源多样性增加了另一个维度。交叉注册、软件共享和其他好处也源于网络。
