4. The Net In Hungary




Description

This article is from the Hungarian FAQ, by Zoli Fekete fekete@bc.edu with numerous contributions by others.

4. The Net In Hungary

Overview: historically, ELLA was the first home-grown X.25
email-system in Hungary. It survives till this very day. EARN was next,
with its BITNET-like infrastructure (4.1). Full Internet connectivity
is provided by HUNGARNET (see 4.2), which really comprises all
academic, research and public non-profit sites.

Here's a partial list of its domain names:

bme.hu Technical University of Budapest

elte.hu Roland Eotvos University of Sciences, Budapest
bke.hu Budapest University of Economic Sciences
sote.hu Semmelweis University of Medical Sciences, Budapest
abc.hu Agricultural Biotechnology Center, Godollo
