I read from my scribbled computer science lecture notes: "CNUCE
(Centro Nazionale Universitario di Calcolo Elettronico) in Italy,
Pisa, was connected to ARPANET in April 1986...". I think Italy was
the third country :-)

Your lecture notes are incorrect, I believe. CNUCE got an Internet
connection, not an
ARPAnet connection, in 1986. That was 3 years after the ARPAnet went
over from
NCP to TCP/IP. Evidence: the 2nd URL in your message!
Another European site for early TCP/IP experimentation was DFVLR in Germany.
(By early, I mean between 1981 and 1885, I think.)
Their SATNET ground station was in Oberpfaffenhofen. The (original,
ARPA-funded)
IAB met once in Oberpfaffnehofen during Oktoberfest. Horst Clausen was our
genial host.
The early Internet sites in the UK, Norway, and Germany were a result
of a NATO-fostered
research collaboration among defense-establishment labs in each of the
countries. Vint
Cerf at ARPA ran the show.
