Technical description: CIGBnet is composed by 4 main LAN sites. Central headquarters at the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in Havana, and Center for Biological Research (CIB Havana, 3 kms apart from CIGB) and two research centers in Camaguey province and Sancti Spiritus province. Among these 4 sites communication is via dial-up UUCP links. CIB link will be upgraded in short to X.25. And a further upgrade to SLIP is planned. Planned upgrades to X.25 are planned for the rest of the 2 sites. The LAN at CIGB is composed by 10 subnetworks. 9 of them are Ethernet-based, and the other one is an SLIP connection based on Phil Karn's KA9Q NOS on AT boxes with Zyxel U-1496E V.32bis/V.42bis running on leased asynchronous mode with 26 kbps of effective throughput, being the slowest IP link. 4 Netware servers and 3 UNIX hosts as well as 70 user PCs attached to the network. 40 user PC boxes will be added in the coming months. 20 single users connects via dial-up modem connections to the network. CIGBnet maintains UUCP exchanges via either X.25 or dial-up calls with: WEB/NIRV (APC, Canada) Havana University Oriente University CENIAI (Center for Automated Exchange of Information) Tinored (Youth Computer Club) Infomed (Health Information Network) National Neurosciences Center ICID (Insitute for Digital Reasearch) take care, carlos -- carlos armas CIGBnet network manager center for genetic engineering & biotechnology email: carmas@ingen.cigb.edu.cu Havana, CUBA
