Abstract

The new South Africa needs information and the CSIR has enabled end‐users to search international and local databases using an intelligent gateway to provide easy, affordable access to all the well‐known hosts. All terminals, Minitels and PCs are catered for on all host protocols. The resulting gateway is operated on a sound business footing for the benefit of end‐users and expert searchers in Southern Africa. The development of the system and the business are described in the paper.
