please answer questions 5a, 5b, and 5c.

5a.  Do you want MILNET to announce your network to the NSFNET? (Y/N):

5b.  Do you have an alternate connection, other than MILNET, to the
NSFNET?  (please state alternate connection if answer is yes):



5c.  If you've answered yes to 5b, please state if you would like the
MILNET connection to act as a backup path to the NSFNET? (Y/N):

6) Estimate the number of hosts that will be on the network:

      6c. Within two years:
      6d. Within five years:


7) Unless a strong and convincing reason is presented, the network (if
it qualifies at all) will be assigned a class C network number.  If a
class C network number is not acceptable for your purposes state why.
(Note: If there are plans for more than a few local networks, and more
than 100 hosts, you are strongly urged to consider subnetting. [See RFC
950])

      7.  Reason:


8) Networks are characterized as being either Research, Defense,
Government - Non Defense, or Commercial, and the network address space
is shared between these four areas.  Which type is this network?

      8. Type of network: 


9) What is the purpose of the network?
    
      9.  Purpose:
