Vermont Access to NSFnet

佛蒙特大学将把校园网络连接到 新英格兰学术和研究网络（NEARnet）， 区域网络是NSFNET的一部分。 直接连接 NEARnet将为研究人员提供更好的访问 互联网和其他国家网络，如CSNET/Bitnet， USENET。 建议的150万比特每秒，专用， 通信链路将提高可靠性、速度、周转率， 以及数据通信功能的灵活性， 传输、远程登录和电话会议。 NEARnet将 提供设备、维护和信息服务。 佛蒙特大学将能够整合 超级计算和合作研究进入研究生和 研究生课程。 此外，国家图书馆 明德学院将与主校区相连， 提供了与互联网其余部分的连接， 现有的本地网络。 该项目提供 国家机构之间的资源共享， 促进学生和教师的研究，并提供一个 有价值的资源，以补充课程工作。*

The University of Vermont will connect their campus network to the New England Academic and Research Network (NEARnet), a regional network which is part of the NSFNET. Direct connection to NEARnet will provide researchers with improved access to the Internet and other national networks such as CSNET/Bitnet and USENET. The proposed 1.5 million bit per second, dedicated, communication link will improve reliability, speed, turn-around, and flexibility for data communication functions such as file transfer, remote login, and teleconferencing. NEARnet will provide for equipment, maintenance, and information services. The University of Vermont will be able to integrate supercomputing and collaborative research into graduate and udergraduate curricula. In addition the State Library Services and Middlebury College will be connected to the main campus and provided connectivity to the rest of the Internet through already existing local networks. This project thus provides sharing of resources among the state institutions, greatly facilitates research by students and faculty, and provides a valuable resource to supplement course work.***
