Servery internic.net (General Atomics)

[Vladimir Vrabec]

Vazeni,
odznelo zde nekolik poznamek k cinnosti gopheru "is.internic.net"
a www serveru "www.internic.net", hlavne v souvislosti s nedosazitelnosti
casopisu "NSF Network News" a "Scout Report". Pripojena kopie prispevku
do NEWS situaci komentuje. S pozdravem
                                               Vladimir Vrabec
