  15.                                  CHAPTER 4
  16.                              SERVICE PROVIDERS
  17.  
  18. This chapter provides information regarding Internet access providers,  the
  19. general types of services they provide, and how to contact them.   Although
  20. some  of these providers can help with international connections, Chapter 6
  21. contains more information about many non-U.S. networks and whom to  contact
  22. for more information about gaining access to them.
  23.  
  24.  
  25. This  Chapter  first  lists national providers of network connections, then
  26. lists dialup providers, then lists the providers by state.
  27.  
  28.  
  29. The information contained here was current as of the  publication  of  this
  30. document, and contains information as complete and accurate as we were able
  31. to find.  We would appreciate corrections and additions  to  this  chapter.
  32. They  can  be  sent  online  to  nisc@nisc.sri.com.
  33.  
  34. Each Provider is listed in the following format:
  35.  
  36. Provider name
  37.      Contact name (if any)
  38.      Phone number
  39.      Internet e-mail address
  40.      Services:
  41.  
  42.  
  43. Those  items  in  italics are listed without an identifier pre-pended (e.g.
  44. CERFnet rather than Provider name: CERFnet).
  45.  
  46.  
  47. The Services item is used  to  indicate  the  general  type  of  service  a
  48. provider offers.  It will usually contain either:
  49.  
  50.    - Network connections
  51.    - Dialup e-mail
  52.    - Dialup IP
  53.  
  54. One provider may offer any or all of these services.
  55.  
  56. These  types  of access methods are each described in Chapter 2.  Sometimes
  57. other services may be noted  as  well.    For  further  details  about  any
  58. service,  contact  the  access  provider.    This  Chapter lists only phone
  59. numbers and electronic mail addresses.  Complete postal  addresses  can  be
  60. found in the alphabetical access provider listing contained in Appendix II.
  61.  
  62. Important: Providers often offer services in addition to those noted!  This
  63. book is concerned mainly with highlighting types of Internet access.   Most
  64. often,  providers  offer  a  range  of  value-added services in addition to
  65. initial access options.  For example, most providers also offer  access  to
  66. USENET news.
  67.  
  68. If  a  provider  is in your area, but seems from this list not to offer the
  69. service you desire, definitely contact  them  to  ascertain  their  current
  70. range  of  services.    Providers expand services often, and it is possible
  71. that we were unaware of a service.
  72.  
  73.  
  74. Many access providers in the  US  began  with  support  from  the  National
  75. Science  Foundation  (NSF)  with  the  mission  of  connecting research and
  76. education sites to the NSFNET backbone or with funding from state  agencies
  77. to  fulfill a similar purpose.  Some providers retain this as their primary
  78. goal and do not provide access to commercial sites.  Other  such  providers
  79. have  expanded  their  missions to include more commercial services, so now
  80. serve a wider community.  All providers charge  fees  for  their  services,
  81. which  has  helped blur the distinction between "commercial" and "research"
  82. providers.    With  a  few  exceptions,  it  is  generally  true  that  any
  83. organization  may  join  any  network as long as it agrees to abide by that
  84. network's Acceptable Use Policy.  However,  it  may  be  the  case  that  a
  85. provider  listed in this Chapter as serving a particular area may have some
  86. restrictions regarding the type of community it wishes to serve.
  87.  
  88.  
  89. Note:  Access For Individuals
  90.  
  91.  
  92. Individuals usually access the Internet via some dialup means.   Therefore,
  93. if  you are looking for access for yourself, start with the section listing
  94. Providers Of Dialup Services, but also check listings under your state  for
  95. other providers that may offer dialup services.
  96.  
  97. 4.1. National Providers of Network Connections
  98.  
  99. This  section lists providers that offer network connections throughout the
  100. United States.  Network connections means that they  will  coordinate  with
  101. you  establish  a dedicated connection between your host or your local area
  102. network to the Internet.
  103.  
  104.  
  105. In most cases, these providers are not repeated in Section  4.3,  Providers
  106. By  State.    When  shopping  for  an access provider in the United States,
  107. therefore, using this section in tandem with the Providers By State section
  108. will give you the maximum information from which to make your selection.

  164. 4.2. Providers of Dialup Services
  165.  
  166. This  section  lists  providers  that  offer dialup connections.  This list
  167. includes  only  national  dialup  access  providers  and   providers   that
  168. specialize  in dialup e-mail services for specific geographic areas.  Those
  169. providers that offer both  network  connections  and  dialup  access  to  a
  170. specific  region  are listed in Section 4.3 rather than here.  This is only
  171. for the sake of simplicity.  This  section  is  provided  mainly  for  easy
  172. reference by individuals seeking dialup access to the Internet.  If you are
  173. such a person, also look in the section that lists providers by area to see
  174. if  the  mid-level  or  regional  network in your area also provides dialup
  175. services.
  176.  
  177.  
  178. Even though some providers seem to serve smaller, perhaps municipal  areas,
  179. their services can be accessed via a long distance phone call, or sometimes
  180. via a public data network.  It is worth contacting  them  to  see  how  you
  181. might use their services.
  182.  
  183.  
  184. All  of  these  providers  are  listed elsewhere in this chapter as well as
  185. here.  Many national access providers also offer dialup services,  so  they
  186. are listed here and in the previous section.  Those dialup e-mail providers
  187. that serve specific areas are listed again in Section 4.3 under  the  state
  188. they serve.
  189.  
  190. Although  this  section emphasizes dialup access, it is important to recall
  191. that most of these providers offer other services as well.
  192.  
  193.  
  194. If no Area Served information is listed  for  the  dialup  providers,  they
  195. serve  all  of the US and probably provide international dialup connections
  196. as well.  Contact the provider directly for more information.
