FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE McDonalds and EUnet join to offer Global "Internet in a Lunchbox" Amsterdam, The Netherlands -- April 1, 1994 -- McDonalds, Inc. and EUnet, Ltd. today announced an agreement which will allow people to access the Internet in virtually everywhere. Access to the Internet is fast becoming a requirement for leading businesses who wish to communicate globally at any place, any time. "Our restaurants offer the market's most cost-effective solution for daily food substance requirements and together with EUnet we take this small step for our businesses but a great leap to the mankind", says Kechap Mustard, senior vice president for marketing at McDonalds restaurants. "The Information Superhighway will be a significant part of our future and we want to participate in building it. Every highway needs restaurants and together with EUnet we will meet the great demands of the new information society", he adds. EUnet, the largest commercial Internet service provider in Europe, will together with McDonalds install Internet connectivity to every McDonalds restaurant. A revolutionary CRC-free product, McEUnet, will be used to provide access to the Internet for everyone, from small children to senior citizens. "Later we will offer our customers a complete McEUnet-meal with a gif of the month. Together with the planned McEUnet birthday party service we will provide a full range of solutions to our customers who need access to the Internet", said Mustard. "Way to mans heart goes through his stomach and together with McDonalds we can get there. EUnet's goal is to bring the Internet to every dining table and now it's finally for real. McDonalds restaurants are also children's favourite and now we make it possible for children to learn the Internet before they can even read or write", says Glenn Kowack, EUnet CEO. "We haven't accomplished Internet to the belly button yet, but we are very near a breakthrough. Our research staff is already working hard to create recycleable access to the Internet to save the nature. CRC-free McEUnet IP addresses are already recycled", Kowack describes the new service. ### All brands, products and service names mentioned are trademarks or registered service marks of their respective owners.

change in 400net.nl
by Marjo Rottschafer 28 Mar '94

28 Mar '94

Dear Ripe-list, On 1-4-1994 the MX-records and RFC1327-mapping rule for 400net.nl will be removed. This will happen on authority of Unisource, provider of the dutch email-service 400NET. Unisource plans to commercialize the gateway-service to their customers and has decided to use an other (then the SURFnet-) gateway for this purpose. On 1-4-1994 Unisource will define a new domain for its (paying) customers: unisource.nl. The domain 400net.nl will then cease to exist. Since this gateway-service and corresponding domain are no longer the responsibility of SURFnet, SURFnet can't do much about any problems related to this service, if these might occur. In this case, or in case you have any questions, I advise you to contact the 400NET-Helpdesk: Phone: +31 70 3711620 E-mail: helpdesk(a)unisource.nl With kind regards, Marjo Rottschafer SURFnet Netwerk Management
