AFAIK, there aren't any real plans to patch it into the global 'net. The last I heard about this (I work at one of the Canadian Universities), was that CA*Net2 is 'research+university only', while CA*Net3 was/is supposed to be 'research+university+commercial'... At the university I'm at, we have two links...one to CA*Net2 for those working with other X-Canada universities, and then the "regular" Internet for everything else... CA*Net3, if/when it becomes available (we don't have it yet) is to merge the two back into one thing again...or so I understood it. I could be wrong...this is stuff I talked to a friend of mine about almost a year ago...things change *shrug* Marc G.
