No, the box claiming to describe U.S. "Public Data Networks" didn't mention
Alternet/PSInet/CERFnet/ANSnet, but it is even worse than that.
The NREN article was only one of a collection articles in the same
isse on WANS.  In *None* of these articles were alternatives to 
modem networks and X.25 carriers discussed.  In fact, the phrase
"TCP/IP" occured *only* in the NREN article!
