(J.Net) The wide area.Network which links UK academic and research institutes. J.Net is controlled by the {Joint.Network Team} (JNT) and.Network Executive (NE). It is an inte.Net (a large number of interconnected sub.Networks) that provides connectivity within the community as well as access to external services and other communities. The hub is the J.Net su.Network, a private X.25packet-switched.Network that interconnects over 100 sites. At the majority of sites, local area.Networks (LANs) are connected to J.Net allowing off-site access for the computers and terminals connected to these.Networks. The Coloured Bookprotocol architecture is used to support interactive terminal access to computers (for both character terminals and screen terminals), inter-host file transfers, electronic mail and remote batch job submission.
