> The American Library Association (ALA) will hold its annual meeting in
> the city of New York from July 4 - July 10.  As in past years, the 
> Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) is coordinating 
> the setup and management of an Internet Room at the ALA conference.  
> The hours of operation of the Internet Room are as follows:
> 
>   Saturday  July 6  (09:00-16:00)
>     Sunday  July 7  (09:00-17:00)
>     Monday  July 8  (09:00-17:00)
>    Tuesday  July 9  (09:00-13:00)
> 
> Among other things, access to personal electronic mail (using telnet and
> tn3270 terminal emulation) will be available to conference attendees.
> 
> However, if your home domain restricts access based upon secure host
> authorization or firewall, you may be unable to telnet/tn3270 to your
> usual host in order to login and check mail.  This problem can usually 
> be solved by asking your domain/site administrator to allow traffic from

> a specific network to pass through your domain gateway for the duration 
> of the conference.
> 
> The information you will need to provide the site administrator in order
> to enable authorized access is:
> 
>              domain name of on-site hosts = Cybersites.net
>                           network address = 207.51.34.*
>    range of IP addresses in Internet Room = 207.51.34.11   to 
207.51.34.44
>                                     (and)   207.51.34.200  to 
207.51.34.210
> 
> We have asked the network service provider to provide DNS entries for 
> all of these hosts, but have not received word on whether the request
> will be enabled or not.  The canonical names we have requested are:
> 
>    irnyc1.Cybersites.net, irnyc2.Cybersites.net, ... 
> 
> 
> Furthermore, please note that one often must telnet/tn3270 to a hostname
> which is different than that reflected in ones address.  For example, 
> 
>    email address is:  joe at foobar.com
>    must telnet to:    foo.bar.foobar.com
> 
> Please check with your system administrator prior to leaving for 
> conference to make sure you know which host will accept telnet/tn3270 
> traffic for your domain.  There will be trained staff on-site to assist 
> you, but having the correct and relevant information prior to leaving
> for conference will assist the staff in helping you.

> Any additional questions can be addressed to me:

> 
> I can't promise I'll be able to answer specific questions about your
> domain's security/authorization setup, but will try to provide
additional
> information if possible.

> Thanks for listening!  See you all in New York City...
