[Sorry for people whom already know that :)]
Fnet is the historical part of EUnet France - one of the biggest ISP in
France. Fnet is an association - but EUnet is a commercial company -
which was selling few years ago Internet connectivity, and now focus
its activities on some kind of "network research". So Fnet take the
benefit - nearly for free, at least at a very good price - of all the
leased lines of the EUnet european network, in fact Fnet offices are
located in EUnet offices. For more details: several 768k leased lines
between EUnet Paris network center (where Fnet is) and EUnet Amsterdam
, and from there pretty big pipes to USA/alternet/nfsnet/(and another
I can remind of) (4Mb, bigger pipes for an European ISP accros the
Atlantic), Ebone, Europanet....
But between EUnet and Fnet, there is only a little 115k line of about
10 meters :)
Cheers, Stoned.
