GEN:"net" in address

[Claudia Mahlman <Claudia_Mahlman@k12bangor.maine.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm embarrased to ask this simple question, but I can't seem to get a full
explanation as to the nature of the e-mail domain name, "net". One source
explains it as a network resource, but that does not provide enough explanation
 All the other domains understandable (edu, org, com, gov ...).

Many members of the LM_NET have this designation in their addresses, and
suddenly it dawned on me that I had no idea to what type of host they are
connected.
