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are therefore asking you to follow the revised procedure described below rather than that of newsletter 18, which is superseded by this newsletter.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 WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED: All such requests should contain the following information: HOST DATA: EXAMPLE: Host Name: - SRI-NIC Host Address: - 10.0.0.73 Location: - SRI International Network Information Center Menlo Park, CA 94025 CPU Type: - Foonly-F3 (System-XXV) Operating System: - TENEX (AUGUST) Nickname (if any): - NIC Sponsor: - DCA Protocols: - TCP/TELNET,TCP/FTP,TCP/SMTP, ICMP, etc. (See RFC-810) TECHNICAL LIAISON DATA: EXAMPLE: Name: - Feinler, Elizabeth J.
