Cel The Portuguese Foundation for the Development of National Computing Resources (FCCN) is organising and implementing the National Scientific Community Network, RCCN. The main objective of this initiative is to achieve a position where harmonised and standard network services can be offered to the whole Portuguese R&D community, especially to the benefit of the large groups engaged in ESPRIT projects. The first phase of the project deals with a basic communication infrastructure at 64 Kbit/s with a nation-wide coverage for the academic community and a set of open applications running on top of this infrastructure. The introduction of 2 Mbit/s access and ISDN connections are planned for the second phase. The third phase (which is not part of this project) will be an upgrade of the RCCN infrastructure (2 Mbit/s, ISDN). The RCCN project consists of four activities: Implementation of a national X.25 backbone Installation of a nation-wide X.25 backbone with access lines at 64 Kbit/s at universities and research centres in Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Aveiro and Coimbra). The remaining universities will have access to the backbone via the public X.25 network. X.400 E-mail service This part of the project will develop an X.400 network over the X.25 backbone and the PPSDN. Connectivity to other countries will be made via IXI through COSINE "Well-Known Entry-Points" (WEPs). Additional work is related to the installation and operation of gateways between X.400 and other existing mail networks (X.400/RFC 822) ISO FTAM service This service will be installed at various sites allowing users to exchange files between any other FTAM system. Specific solutions will be implemented to allow users to access this service with simple equipment, such as PCs with Kermit. Directory Service An X.500 directory service is foreseen, consisting of at least one DSA (Directory Service Agent) and service DUAs (Directory User Agents). It is planned to have the activity on the ISODE software package. When mature, it will be made available to end users in interactive mode and also to other applications such as the mail system and FTAM.
