EUnet JOINS CIX ASSOCIATION

        Amsterdam,  2 April 1992.  EUnet, the  pan-European
        open  systems computer network, today announced that
        it has become the first operating  European  network
        to join the Commercial Internet Exchange Association
        (CIX).

        EUnet  is   Europe's   largest   subscription-funded
        network,  focusing  on  users  in  the  research and
        development  community  since  1982.   Operating  in
        nearly  every  country from Iceland to Russia and as
        far South  as  Tunisia,  EUnet  connects  over  2500
        networks  and  sites and has gateways to every major
        network in Europe. EUnet services include Electronic
        Mail,  Network  (USENET)  News,  and Archive access.
        EUnet's InterEunet service, in operation since 1990,
        provides   international  and  intercontinental  LAN
        interconnection  services  based   on   the   TCP/IP
        protocols  to  over 100 organisations across Europe.
        EUnet is  a  service  by  and  for  the  members  of
        EurOpen,  the European Forum for Open System, a not-
        for-profit organisation.

        The Commercial Internet Exchange  Association,  Inc.
        (CIX),  was  formed  in  1991  as a non-profit trade
        association to provide a non-restrictive
        packet interchange for TCP/IP and OSI traffic.   The
        Association actively solicits membership and network
        connections with all commercial  and  non-profit  US
        national,  Regional, and Mid-level networks, Federal
        and state  government  networks,  and  international
        network organisations.

        Mitch Kapor, President of the CIX Association, said
        the CIX was delighted  that  EUnet  has  joined and
        that CIX will now  truly  become  an  international  network
        connecting European and U.S. network subscribers.
