Tickets of 2 and 3 strips can be bought on the bus or the tram but they are much more expensive. You have to validate the ticket yourself in the metro stations and in the trams (except on lines 4, 6, 7, 10, 12 and 13). In the buses the driver will validate the ticket. Amsterdam is divided into zones: the old city is in zone `Centrum' whereas CWI is in zone `Oost'. You need to count how many zones you will be travelling through (from the centre - CWI is 2 zones) and count up that number of strips on your ticket + 1 extra. So in the above example you will need to stamp the 3rd strip. In case of overflow you stamp the last strip of the first ticket and start counting the remaining strips on the next ticket. Confused? Ask any member of the local organizing committee. Warning: BEWARE of pickpockets in crowded places.

Thanks, David Call for Papers NSC'94 The Network Services Conference 1994 London, England, 28-30 November 1994 Overview Open computer networking is no longer the sole domain of universities and research institutions. Today, governments, schools, public organizations, commercial enterprises and private individuals are actively using and supplying information over the global Internet. How will these various network communities cooperate and interact? How will the academic and research community adapt to the new network reality? How will the network and networking tools now available stand up to the explosion in number of users and amount of information available? How will we train novices? What will we pay for and what will be for free as the commercialization of the network progresses? Will we be inundated by advertising over the net? These are only a few of the questions facing network service providers and users alike. Building on the success of the previous Network Services Conferences in Pisa (1992) and Warsaw (1993), NSC'94 will focus on the issue of providing services to customers, with special attention paid to the exciting developments in global tools and services. We will address the impact of the new global tools on service development and support, the changing function of traditional tools and services (such as archives), new services (such as multi-media communications), the future role of the library and the effects of commercialization on networks and network services. Customer support at all levels, and the role of support in accessing global services, will also be covered. Talks, tutorials, demonstrations and other conference activities will address the needs of the research, academic, educational, governmental, industrial, and commercial network communities. NSC'94 is being organized by the EARN (European Academic and Research Network) Association in cooperation with the Internet Society, RARE, RIPE, NORDUnet and EUnet. Tutorials, Demonstrations and Posters In addition to the presentation of papers, there will be tutorial sessions on specific network services as part of the regular conference program. A room will be available for workstations and PCs to be used for demonstrations throughout the conference. A poster wall will be available to participants for the display of their posters and projects. Terminals with connectivity to the Internet will be available to delegates. Call for Papers The Program Committee for NSC'94 is soliciting proposals for papers, tutorials, demonstrations and posters in all fields related to network services. Subject areas for presentations include, but are not limited to, the following: - Network resource tools - Network directory services - Multimedia Communications - Electronic Publishing - Libraries and Networking - Special Interest Communities - Groupware, Cooperative Work over the Network - Networking for Schools - User Support - Delivering Services to the Desktop - Quality of Network Services - Commercialization of Network Services - Businesses on the Network - Providing Network Services to New Countries and Communities Papers and proposals for tutorials, demonstrations or posters, including a short biography and an abstract should be sent by mail, fax or PREFERABLY by e-mail, to: NSC'94 EARN Office PSI - Batiment 211 91405 Orsay CEDEX FRANCE Tel: +33 1 6941 2426 Fax: +33 1 6941 6683 E-mail: NSC94(a)EARNCC.EARN.NET or NSC94(a)EARNCC.BITNET Please use the form appended below for proposals.

PRAGUE is like a history lesson come true. As you walk among the long stone palaces or across the 'Charles Bridge', with Smetana's Vltava flowing below and pointed towers all around, you will feel as if history had stopped somewhere back in the 18th century. Goethe called Prague the 'prettiest gem in the stone crown of the world'. This cultural center of Europe is famous for its architectural treasures that have been so well preserved. Its wealth can be gathered from the diversity and quantity of the many Romanesque monuments and its Gothic town planning. In time new styles developed, like Baroque and later on Art Nouveau. The countenance of Prague reflects every cultural period and all the different artistic styles. Musical life is a deeply rooted tradition in Prague. One only needs to remember the names of the two greatest Czech composers, Antonin Dvorak and Bedrich Smetana. Their music can still be heard. It is said that it is an advantage to be a foreigner in Prague. The renowned Slavonic hospitality manifests itself in Prague at every step. A lot of traditional Czech products are offered, like crystal, porcelain, earthenware, but also CDs, and illustrated art books. The national beverages like beer and sliwowitz are worth a try and restaurants offer a wide variety of food. Prague is ready to welcome its visitors and let you share in the experience of 'awakening to a beautiful dream'.

RIPE DNS Hostcount March 1994
by Marten Terpstra 06 Apr '94

06 Apr '94

All, Better late than never, here's the March 1994 RIPE DNS hostcount. Some comments: - a mistake in the January 1994 hostcount caused the January and February counts to be off by 17. I have corrected this in the hostcounts for these months, and in the Overview appended below. Also all files on ftp.ripe.net have been changed to reflect this. - only a few countries went slightly down, CS for obvious reasons (migrating to CZ and SK) and only PL really showed a little less. Interesting is that I have counted France(FR) 3 times in two days, and have seen a difference in the outcome of over 7000 machines ... The best has been included below. - overall a nice increase of just over 32,000 to over 655,000. The increase this quarter has been 18.4 percent, slightly higher than last quarter. - Germany (DE), United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland (IE) have been counted from within the country, all other countries counted from Amsterdam. - all output (gzipped) again available on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount Enjoy, -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Mon Feb 28 1994 This Count : Thu Mar 31 1994 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 364 18032 570 17462 + 904 az 1 0 0 0 0 be 122 10217 172 10045 + 1947 bg 4 29 7 22 0 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 254 42057 241 41816 + 1435 cs 88 2347 79 2268 - 95 cy 6 40 6 34 0 cz 131 6229 59 6170 + 723 de 1792 131246 4024 127222 + 2077 dk 139 10027 158 9869 + 1679 dz 1 0 0 0 0 dz 1 0 0 0 0 ee 23 520 2 518 + 11 eg 4 57 0 57 0 es 362 17538 166 17372 + 1184 fi 366 42309 877 41432 + 2973 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 833 64293 1156 63137 + 1935 gb 1 19 0 19 + 2 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 123 2522 267 2255 + 267 hr 48 761 9 752 + 297 hu 44 3714 28 3686 + 66 ie 54 2702 60 2642 + 115 il 150 7476 58 7418 + 252 is 60 2392 13 2379 + 206 it 550 20587 431 20156 + 966 li 2 17 0 17 0 lt 1 0 0 0 0 lu 20 360 2 358 + 19 lv 5 120 1 119 + 18 ma 1 0 0 0 0 mk 1 0 0 0 0 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 525 51138 685 50453 + 1799 no 552 35588 340 35248 + 1200 pl 290 6074 382 5692 - 11 pt 125 4046 67 3979 + 98 ro 14 113 0 113 + 8 se 635 49851 894 48957 + 3522 si 19 736 7 729 + 33 sk 63 952 18 934 + 8 su 179 2548 99 2449 + 234 tn 2 19 2 17 + 2 tr 26 816 8 808 + 149 ua 43 258 27 231 + 15 uk 1010 141268 12941 128327 + 7968 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 1 2 0 2 0 ============================================================ 9039 679020 23856 655164 +32006 This is an overview of the History of the RIPE hostcounts.

by Petri Ojala 01 Apr '94

01 Apr '94

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE McDonalds and EUnet join to offer Global "Internet in a Lunchbox" Amsterdam, The Netherlands -- April 1, 1994 -- McDonalds, Inc. and EUnet, Ltd. today announced an agreement which will allow people to access the Internet in virtually everywhere. Access to the Internet is fast becoming a requirement for leading businesses who wish to communicate globally at any place, any time. "Our restaurants offer the market's most cost-effective solution for daily food substance requirements and together with EUnet we take this small step for our businesses but a great leap to the mankind", says Kechap Mustard, senior vice president for marketing at McDonalds restaurants. "The Information Superhighway will be a significant part of our future and we want to participate in building it. Every highway needs restaurants and together with EUnet we will meet the great demands of the new information society", he adds. EUnet, the largest commercial Internet service provider in Europe, will together with McDonalds install Internet connectivity to every McDonalds restaurant. A revolutionary CRC-free product, McEUnet, will be used to provide access to the Internet for everyone, from small children to senior citizens. "Later we will offer our customers a complete McEUnet-meal with a gif of the month. Together with the planned McEUnet birthday party service we will provide a full range of solutions to our customers who need access to the Internet", said Mustard. "Way to mans heart goes through his stomach and together with McDonalds we can get there. EUnet's goal is to bring the Internet to every dining table and now it's finally for real. McDonalds restaurants are also children's favourite and now we make it possible for children to learn the Internet before they can even read or write", says Glenn Kowack, EUnet CEO. "We haven't accomplished Internet to the belly button yet, but we are very near a breakthrough. Our research staff is already working hard to create recycleable access to the Internet to save the nature. CRC-free McEUnet IP addresses are already recycled", Kowack describes the new service. ### All brands, products and service names mentioned are trademarks or registered service marks of their respective owners.

change in 400net.nl
by Marjo Rottschafer 28 Mar '94

28 Mar '94

Dear Ripe-list, On 1-4-1994 the MX-records and RFC1327-mapping rule for 400net.nl will be removed. This will happen on authority of Unisource, provider of the dutch email-service 400NET. Unisource plans to commercialize the gateway-service to their customers and has decided to use an other (then the SURFnet-) gateway for this purpose. On 1-4-1994 Unisource will define a new domain for its (paying) customers: unisource.nl. The domain 400net.nl will then cease to exist. Since this gateway-service and corresponding domain are no longer the responsibility of SURFnet, SURFnet can't do much about any problems related to this service, if these might occur. In this case, or in case you have any questions, I advise you to contact the 400NET-Helpdesk: Phone: +31 70 3711620 E-mail: helpdesk(a)unisource.nl With kind regards, Marjo Rottschafer SURFnet Netwerk Management
