what's on the Internet

Mark:
    
    I agree some clarification will eventually be required.

    My personal view is that you are on the Internet if there is an
all IP-links path that can be traced from your host to the NSFNET
backbone or one of its regionals.

    If there are administrative gateways, like SUN.COM in the old days,
in that path, so that IP can't typically get through, that's OK.
My view is that you can still, via some means (e.g. loggin into the
admin gateways), use IP to get anywhere.

    How's that?
