- From the JANET news machine:
-
- Access to Campus 2000
-
- Campus 2000 was formed in January 1989 with the integration of two
- existing services, PRESTEL Education and The Times Network Systems (TTNS).
- Campus 2000 is operated by British Telecom to allow a wide range of
- educational users to take advantages of features of both
- PRESTEL Education and TTNS, at a guaranteed Local telephone call
- access charge.
-
- Campus 2000 allows users within schools and colleges to link their own
- classroom microcomputers through the Public Telephone Network to the
- Campus 2000 computer. This has many benefits; in particular, it allows
- users to access and take advantage of a huge amount of constantly updated
- information in the database sections, while at the same time allowing
- communication with all the other users of the system both in the
- UK and overseas via the medium of Electronic Mail.
-
- Interactive access to TTNS and now Campus 2000 has been available from JANET
- for a number of years by making a call through the JANET PSS Gateways,
- using the Gateway mnemonics TTNS and CAMPUS2000.
- Unfortunately there is currently no route to allow Campus 2000 users
- access to JANET although British Telecom and the Joint Network Team
- are investigating this problem and it is hoped to provide a solution
- in the near future.
-
- Electronic mail between JANET users and Campus 2000 is a problem,
- due to the restrictions of the standard Telecom Gold Electronic mail.
- Limited testing of the link between JANET and Campus 2000 has
- been carried out successfully between the few users incorporated
- into the trials. Further testing is required before this facility
- can be announced as a supported service. It should be emphasised that mail
- interchange between Campus and JANET may incur charges when the
- service is launched.
-
- Further details about access to Campus 2000 will be announced
- as they become available.
