The Chinese Research Network (CRN), founded in 1987, aims at

	* Providing electronic communication means, based on
	  the PSDN and any available communication networks,
	  to the Chineses scientsts, engineers, professors and
	  other reaserchers to facilitate them in exchanging
          information and coordinating cooperation with their
	  partners in China and abroad.

	* Supporting and coordinating the development and promotion
	  of OSI conformable applications ammong Chinese scientific
	  and research community.

	* Organizing the cooperation among CRN members and their
	  foreign partners.

Eight members of CRN have been interconnected at present, including research
institutes, universities and academic organizations in Beijing, Shanghai,
Chengdu and Shijiazhuang. More institutions will join CRN in the future.

MHS (email), VT (PAD), FTAM and X.11 have been installed at the member
institutions on VAX/VMS, VAX/ULTRIX, SUN/UNIX and APOLLO/UNIX.
CRN has established tens of direct MHS connections with the member
countries of European Research Networks (RARE), including Germany, Norway,
Switchland, France, Sweden, Italy, England, Nethelands, and could exchange
e-mails with almost all the research networks, eg Internet, in the world
via RARE gateways.

Chinese MHS (CMHS), dased on DFN-EAN and enhanced by CRN, with
Chenese characters and encryption capability, has been also installed
at some CRN's member institutions on VAX/VMS and SUN/UNIX systems.

The electronic mail service provided by CRN is CCITT X.400 (84) comformable.
The email exchange between CRN and other email systems, eg INTERNET, BITNET,
UUCP, is routed by RARE gateways. The direct connection between CRN and
INTERNET will be set up when the agreement is reached.

The CRN's WEP (Well-know Entry Point) is located and maintained at NCI
(North China Institute of Computing Technology), Beijing.

The CRN Board consists of the representatives from her member
organizations, which is responsible for
	* Developing CRN's plans and rules
	* Helping academic and research institutions to join CRN
	* Maintaining the services provided by CRN
	* Helping CRN's members to solve technical problems
	* Organizig and coordinating the development projects
	* Contacting and coopreating, on behalf of CRN, with the peers
	  in China and abroad

At present, the cost of sending messages to CRN members is paid by the
calling partners while the messages are stored and forwarded. The outgoing
messages sent from CRN members to any other hosts are paid by the original
user's institution.

The CRN's mapping rule between X.400 O/R address and RFC822 address is
	C=cn; ADMD= ; PRMD=crn	<====>	crn.cn
