The author classified the e-mail addresses of the mailing list "Masui Discussion List" users. The result indicates that the types of the participation of those users in the Internet are classified into the following three: (1) Use of the network of employment places such as universities and hospitals or their facilities, (2) Via the BBS (Bulletin Board System) host, and (3) Contract with a network service provider. The author estimates the following: Type (1) occupies about half of the whole types. Types (2) and (3) occupy about a quarter of the whole types, respectively. If the network of the employment place cannot be used to access the Internet, dial-up IP connection can be made by contracting with a network service provider. To make such a connection, a multimedia personal computer, dial-up IP connection software, a high-speed modem or a terminal adapter, and variety of Internet application software such as World Wide Web browser are required in addition to the telephone line (analog or ISDN).
作者对邮件列表“Masui讨论列表”用户的电子邮件地址进行了分类。结果表明，这些用户参与互联网的类型可分为以下三种：（1）使用大学和医院等工作场所的网络或其设施；（2）通过电子公告板系统（BBS）主机；（3）与网络服务提供商签约。作者估计如下：类型（1）约占所有类型的一半。类型（2）和（3）分别约占所有类型的四分之一。如果无法使用工作场所的网络访问互联网，可以通过与网络服务提供商签约进行拨号IP连接。要进行这种连接，除了电话线（模拟或ISDN）外，还需要一台多媒体个人计算机、拨号IP连接软件、高速调制解调器或终端适配器，以及各种互联网应用软件，如万维网浏览器。
