Keywords: domain help edu application runaround abnormal parameters Message-ID: <1149@nusdhub.UUCP> Date: 18 Aug 88 22:29:36 GMT Distribution: na Organization: National University, San Diego Lines: 22 Hi, We are moving from three (3) UNIX Systems to seventeen (17) in the *near* future. We _are_ using a LAN. We *are not* using TCP/IP. The LAN people told me that I had to apply to the UUCP project for a domain name, while teh UUCP projuct told me I had to apply to someone else because we are using a LAN. This, to me, constitutes the runaround. Does anybody know who I should contact to get a domain name. I would like "nu.edu" or something similar. Currently our main mail link is UUCP through ucsd. This machine will act as the gateway, and I have already installed and tested the necessary software. We may get a more legitimate connection to the rest of the world later, but until then I need a domain name for in-house usage. WHERE DO I GO? Will it cost big bucks? Who do I have to kill? What's the meaning of life? Who is this god person anyway? ( ;-) as app.) Rob.
