            The Minnesota Regional Network (MRNet) is  an  NSF  regional
            network  which  provides  communications between the nation-
            wide NSFnet and researchers at the  Minnesota  Supercomputer
            Center  (MSC),  the  University  of  Minnesota (U of M), and
            other educational institutions.  MRNet also provides  NSFnet
            access   to  several  Minnesota  organizations  involved  in
            research in such high-technology fields  as  supercomputers,
            computer  communications, and medicine.  In addition to pro-
            viding Internet access to  its  members,  MRNet  provides  a
            forum for exploring networking issues and enables electronic
            communications between its members.
