TOPIC: - Revised Procedures for Requesting New Host Approval
and Port Activation
NOTE: This revision obsoletes procedures outlined in ANEWS-18
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVISED PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING NEW HOST APPROVAL AND PORT ACTIVATION:
In DoD Network Newsletter # 18, we established a procedure for
requesting approval of new hosts on the net and activation of the
desired IMP port. This procedure has worked well, and has been helpful
in maintaining an accurate data base. We have found some ways of
improving it, however, and are therefore asking you to follow the
revised procedure described below rather than that of newsletter 18,
which is superseded by this newsletter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHERE TO ADDRESS THE REQUEST: Requests for new host approval and port
activation, and for host change on an already activated port, should be
addressed to the following network mailbox:
HOST-APPROVE@SRI-NIC

following information:
