  JANET
  
     (JANET) The wide area network which links UK academic and
     research institutes.  JANET is controlled by the Joint Network Team
      (JNT) and Network Executive (NE).  It is an
     internet (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 JANET subnetwork, a private X.25 packet-switched
     network that interconnects over 100 sites.  At the majority of
     sites, local area networks (LANs) are connected to JANET
     allowing off-site access for the computers and terminals
     connected to these networks.  The Coloured Book protocol
     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.
