                         About BARRNet

______________________________________________________________________

        BARRNet is the premier Internet service provider to business,
education, research and government throughout Northern California.  An
original component of the NSFNET, BARRNet was founded in 1987 by a consortium
including Stanford University and the University of California.  BARRNet's
early members included organizations such as Apple Computer, Hewlett Packard,
Sun, and Xerox PARC, as well as government research agencies including NASA,
the US Geological Survey, and the Lawrence Livermore and Berkeley
Laboratories.

        BARRNet has points of presence throughout Northern California, and
additional POPs planned for Southern California and Nevada in the coming
months.  BARRNet's hub sites are redundantly connected, ensuring unsurpassed
network reliability.  Our nationally recognized staff is among the finest in
the industry, providing outstanding service, leading-edge technology, and
expert consulting.

        BARRNet commercial connectivity to the Internet is not restricted to
AUP (NSFNET Acceptable Use Policy) compliant traffic.  (See AUP-Free
Commercial Routing below.)

                    BARRNet Exclusive Services

______________________________________________________________________


BARRNet's Exclusive Services are designed to take care of every detail
for you, from optimum security enhancements to Domain Name Service,
Email and Netnews configurations.


Firewall Security Plan
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To organizations planning a connection to the Internet, preserving the
security and integrity of their internal network is of paramount
importance.  BARRNet offers a Firewall Security Plan, complete with
hardware and configuration, to effectively render your internal LAN
invisible to the Internet, protecting it against unauthorized access
attempts, while allowing your users to make full use of Internet
services.

    BARRNet Firewall Security Plan             $5000/One-Time
    (Hardware and configuration included.)



AUP-Free Commercial Routing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Internet is a viable and important means for collaborating and
communicating between customers and vendors.  In fact, a growing
number of organizations are making Internet connectivity a de facto
requirement for conducting business.  With BARRNet's AUP-Free
Commercial Routing, traffic between commercial organizations is not
restricted by the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) of the National Science
Foundation.

    AUP-Free Commercial Routing      15% of annual membership fee



I-Server:  Internet DNS-EMail-News Server
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Leased-line Internet connections require a local Internet server using
the UNIX operating system for services such as domain name service
(resolving domain names to numeric IP addresses), electronic mail and
Internet news feeds.  For sites without available UNIX workstations or
expertise, BARRNet provides an economical and completely
self-contained Intel 486sx Internet Server (I-Server) complete with
340MB internal hard drive, pre-loaded and configured with BSDI UNIX.

    I-Server (one time)                        $5000/One-Time
    (Installation and configuration included.)


Custom Network Consulting Services
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Many organizations that need the information and communication
resources of the Internet don't have specialized computer programmers
and network engineers in-house. BARRNet can lend a helping hand beyond
the consulting bundled into its Exclusive Services.  BARRNet's expert
consultants are among the best in the industry and can help you to
configure, and use all of the connectivity tools you require.

        BARRNet(TM) RULES AND REGULATIONS

             September, 1993


A.    For traffic that will cross the NSFNET backbone, members shall
comply with the rules for use of the NSFNet backbone as promulgated
from time-to-time by the National Science Foundation. Until notified
of changes, the following guidelines shall apply:

THE NSFNET BACKBONE SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY - 2/11/92

GENERAL PRINCIPLE:

(1) NSFNET Backbone services are provided to support open research and
    education in and among US research and instructional institutions,
    plus research arms of for-profit firms when engaged in open
    scholarly communication and research.  Use for other purposes is
    not acceptable.

SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTABLE USES:

(2) Communication with foreign researchers and educators in connection
    with research or instruction, as long as any network that the
    foreign user employs for such communication provides reciprocal
    access to US researchers and educators.

(3) Communication and exchange for professional development, to
    maintain currency, or to debate issues in a field or subfield of
    knowledge.

(4) Use for disciplinary-society, university-association,
    government-advisory, or standards activities related to the user's
    research and instructional activities.

(5) Use in applying for or administering grants or contracts for
    research or instruction, but not for other fundraising or public
    relations activities.

(6) Any other administrative communications or activities in direct
    support of research and instruction.

(7) Announcements of new products or services for use in research or
    instruction, but not advertising of any kind.

(8) Any traffic originating from a network of another member agency of
    the Federal Networking Council if the traffic meets the acceptable
    use policy of that agency.

(9) Communication incidental to otherwise acceptable use, except for
    illegal or specifically unacceptable use.


UNACCEPTABLE USES:

(10) Use for for-profit activities (consulting for pay, sales or
    administration of campus stores, sale of tickets to sports events,
    and so on) or use by for-profit institutions unless covered by the
    General Principle or as a specifically acceptable use.

(11) Extensive use for private or personal business.

This statement applies to use of the the NSFNET Backbone only.  NSF
expects that connecting networks will formulate their own use
policies.  The NSF Division of Networking and Communications Research
and Infrastructure will resolve any questions about this Policy or its
interpretation.

B.    BARRNet's purposes are to facilitate communications in support
of scientific research and higher education using high-performance
computer networking technology and wide-area telecommunications
utilities, and to promote scientific and educational collaboration,
sharing of research and educational information, and wide access to
computer resources for the advancement of research and educational
purposes.  This will include, but not be limited to, promotion of
digital data interconnection of research facilities and remote
computing facilities to support supercomputing, exchange of data and
software, sharing of scientific information and experimentation in
high-speed interconnection applications such as delivery of scientific
graphics, large bit-map display support, distributed computing, and
large file distribution and other scientific research applications.

    If a use is consistent with the purposes of BARRNet, then
activities necessary to that use will be considered consistent with
the purposes of BARRNet.  For example, administrative communications
which are part of the support infrastructure needed for research and
instruction are acceptable.

    A use for scientific research or instruction by members is
acceptable.  A use which is part of or supports a scientific or
instructional activity for the benefit of a not-for-profit member's
research or instruction is acceptable, even if any or all parties to
the use are located or employed away from the site at which the
member's connected facilities are located.  For example, communication
directly between for-profit members engaged in support of a project
for such a member, whether a BARRNet not-for-profit member or
not-for-profit institution elsewhere is acceptable.  A use for
scientific research or instruction at for profit members may or may
not be consistent with the purposes of BARRNet, and will be reviewed
on a case-by-case basis by the voting members.

C.    BARRNet members may make incidental use of BARRNet for any
legal purpose including transit to providers of backbone or internet
exchange services so long as their primary BARRNet use and NSFNET
backbone access complies with applicable use rules.

D.    Any use which adversely affects the operation of BARRNet or
jeopardizes the use or performance for other members may be judged
improper by the Executive Director.

E.     All use shall comply with BARRNet Technical Committee rules
governing routing and use of network numbers.
