Thanks to the many people from around the world who have provided information. This version (postscript, ditroff, text forms, maps in postscript) and earlier versions may also be obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.wisc.edu in the `connectivity_table' directory.

In the following, "BITNET" is used generically to refer to BITNET plus similar networks around the world (e.g., EARN, NETNORTH, GULFNET, etc.).

An entity is a geographical area that has an ISO two letter country code (ISO 3166). These country codes are included in the Table below for each entity (Cols 8-9). Note that the ISO codes do not always agree with the top level DNS (Domain Name) code(s) used for a particular entity.

Network connections have been reported, but not confirmed, to Bangladesh, Jordon, and Mongolia and so are omitted from the table. Activity is underway to connect Lebanon, Guyana, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines but no definitive information has been received. Haiti has an email link but it does not fit into any of the categories of the table.
