Subject: Resend of Invitation and Directions to Merit NSFNET Technical Seminar

You are invited to attend the Merit NSFNET Technical Seminar, to be
held September 21 and 22, 1992 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 

As an added feature this time around we will be providing a box lunch 
from Ann Arbor's famed Zingermans deli.  However, because of this it 
is extremely important for all who plan on joining us for lunch to RSVP
*before* Wed September 16th.

To RSVP send your confirmation to nsf-seminar@merit.edu along with the 
following pieces of information. 

        -Will you need access to the Internet while here?
        -Do you plan on driving to Merit (ie: do you need a 
                University of Michigan parking permit)? 
	-Will you be partaking in lunch with us on Monday?
	-If yes to lunch, do you want vegetarian? 
  	 (The vegetarian lunch we are ordering contains cheese.
          Let me know individually if your diet can not accomodate this.)

Please note that registration will take place between 9am and 9:45am
on Monday, with coffee, donuts, muffins, etc. being served during this
time.  For those not attending the sessions on Monday morning you may
register as you arrive.  Allow extra time for this.

Here are two suggestions for housing in the Ann Arbor area.  The Campus
Inn is located about a block from the University's main campus and is 
very close to both city and campus bus lines.  The Red Roof Inn is located 
near the highway leading from the airport and near Merit, but is not located 
on any city or campus bus lines.

	Red Roof Inn 	800-874-9000 for reservations
	------------
      	located at 3621 Plymouth Road   Ann Arbor, Michigan
	The cost of a single is $35.99, a double $39.99
	We have reserved 10 singles and 10 doubles for Sunday and Monday
		nights only (the 20th and 21st)


        		800-666-8693 for reservations outside of the 313 area
        Campus Inn 	313-769-2200 for reservations within the 313 area
	----------
	Located at 615 E. Huron   Ann Arbor, Michigan
        The cost of a single is $73, a double $85.  
	We have 20 rooms reserved for Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights.

Take heed, there is a home UofM football game on Saturday Sept 19th (against
Oklahoma State for the football fans amoung you).  Thus if you wish to book 
a room at a hotel other than the two above or for Saturday night you should 
do so early. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by phone or by 
sending email to nsf-seminar.  

                                Sincerely,
                                           Sheri Repucci
                                           Merit/Internet Engineering

===================================================================
The Merit NSFNET Technical Seminar will be held in the Auditorium
of the Chrysler Center on the North Campus of the University of
Michigan.  For those of you who attended the last meeting in January
of 1992 (then tagged the Advanced Topics Seminar), this is being held 
in the same building and room.

If you are unfamiliar with Merit's location, we are located on 
North Campus.  The Chrysler Center is an easy walk from the Computing 
Center, where our NOC is located.
===================================================================

Transportation from Detroit Metro Airport to Ann Arbor
------------------------------------------------------
 
	Detroit Metropolitan Airport is located 25 miles east 
	of Ann Arbor on I-94.  At Metro you will find many car 
	rental agencies and a bus service, Commuter Service 
	(in Michigan, 1-800-351-LIMO, Nationwide, 1-800-458-9401).  
	You can buy a bus ticket at the Ground Transportation 
	Desk near the Luggage Pick-up (cash only).  Buses leave 
	hourly and stop at the Michigan Union (located on Central
	Campus) and major hotels in Ann Arbor.  The fare is around 
	$14.50 one way or $25.00 round trip (slightly more to the hotels 
	that offer this service).  Make your return reservations 
	the day before you leave and plan to leave 1 1/2 to 2 
	hours before your flight time. 

	See more detailed directions below.

(South).  Take Main Street to E. Huron Street.  Turn left on Huron (East).
Then Huron to the Campus Inn (located on the corner of Huron and State Street).

roads.  Once you know the area or find a map you will be able to shorten 
the ride.
