I would agree with Mr. Zeitz.  Northern Iowa is working hard at making their
ed.Tech. programs one of the best and it is always exciting working in a
situation like that.  Also, Iowa State's program is excellent based on
some of the people I know there and some of the graduates I know.

Does anyone know of any software that will enable access to the A-Drive
on PS/2 with harddisk, without physically disconnecting the A-Drive?

I want to set up a software package on workstations in public clusters.
But I want to "force" booting from the harddisk. And not allow booting
from the A-Drive, for people bringing in their own bootable disk.

However, I still need to access the A-drive for updates and maintenance
of software.

You might want to look at a menu program called "Direct Access"
which keeps track of usage by application (menu choice) and/or by
project code.  It is a MS-DOS program.  I am not sure if it is
availiable on the Mac.

You ask "elaborate on your perceived differences between the two" and I
think you mean by "the two" the educational theory as opposed to what you
call a scientific theory... I dont accept, for the moment, the proposition
that educational theory should be "looser" than some other kind of theory
called "Scientific". Should be.. I said.. I recognize that at present most
educational theories are less well grounded in empirical data. It is a chicken
and egg problem isnt it... We have no well accepted summaries of knowledge
about distance learning and teaching. Therefore people gather information
that is a-theoretical... it neither refutes or confirms any theory.. some
distance teaching universities sweep up mountains of facts that do little
to advance knowledge in general... they know how many men or women there are
in each region, how old they are, their grades, etc.. all useful to plan the
system, but of no contribution to development of basic understanding about
how people learn and teach... So we have theories with weak foundations in
fact, and facts unrelated to theories.... I hope this discussion will help
break us out of this circle... ... we can be more scientific, without yet
reaching the stage of being able to test hypotheses in experimental design..I
personally think the experimental method is an important and the most
sophisticated form or research.. and I also like qualitative, ethnographic
and other inductive research... I dont think we are ready yet for much
hypothetico-deductive research... but we should aspire to it.. in other words
we might be "looser" and not what you call scientific now... but we can get
less loose if we applied discipline in our qualitative methods, aspire and
seek ways of testing by experiment... and build research from our theories..
and seek to developo them in light of the information we discover... I dont
know if this is answering your question... anyway I am more interested in
hearing what other people think... I would like to get some consensus views
on these issues to take forward to Bangkok... so let's hear from you....

Yu Chong Ho writes:
Thank you for those who offer me info about ethernet. Ethernet can
transmit data at the rate of 10 million bits per second. This is
the second fastest network (The fastest one is FDDI, 100 million
bits per second). Also, ethernet will work perfectly smooth with
A/UX. And now Mac Quadura has built-in ethernet card. In near
future we will put all our Macs on ethernet. Our students can use
one terminal (Mac) to access virtually every system!
However, I have another question: the connection for ethernet is
10baseT hub. Do we need one hub for every Mac, or just one for
a group of machines?

The answer is no.  You do not need one hub for every Mac.  You
only need one 10BaseT port per node (device on the net).  Ethernet
vendors, such as Asante, offer great deals on 10T/12 and 10T/8 hubs
(12 and 8 ports, respectively).  If you will be buying these hubs
for a university, Asante does provide a 50% discount program for
higher education applications.  These bring the intelligent 10T/12
(smart) hubs down to dumb-hub prices.  Check it out.  Here at UH, the
College of Education secured such an agreement with Asante (this
agreement, however, requires that atleast a 100 products be purchased
(systemwide/site) in a one year period.  I believe this applies to CARDS,
but I advise contacting the company directly).

Asante Technologies, Inc.     (800) 662-9686

If you'll be networking a large number of devices together, I recommend
using a small thinnet backbone (bus topology) to connect all your hubs
together... rather than going down one level from an intelligent 12-port
hub.  Most of these hubs provide redundant backbone schemes that supports
multi-media cabling (thick, thin, fiber), so it will certainly help if you're
on a budget.

Hope this helps...

         Education in the Third World Topic

First Speaker -    Dr. Robin Mason

Dates: Oct. 12 - Nov. 30

Abstract:
This topic is intended to be a listing in addition to a discussion, and depends
fundamentally on the contributions of those involved in third world networking
projects.

What I hope to produce at the end of the period (and this topic runs the whole
length of the project), is as complete a dossier as possible of all known uses
of email, computer conferencing or other remote access to support distance
education in third world countries.  Some examples will include links with
developed countries, but it is the use made by the developing countries which
we wish to highlight.

I trust that such a list (including a brief description of the networking
application and a contact person for further information) and the ensuing
discussion, will be of interest  to the distance education community generally.

Please be aware that the ROMs were not maliciously altered such that other
system levels would not work, it's just that each new machine requires code
support.  This was not an attempt to force people to use System 7, nor is it
the first time that it has happened (try running an FX on an old system for
example...).  I have heard that a special version of system 6.0.8 called 6.0.8P

Try launching WordFinder with the option key down.  That will cause it to
launch into the application heap and it should behave as it did before.  Note
that this does not work for all Desk Accessories, but it does work for most of
them.

Personally, I like System 7, but I do a LOT of networking and network
administration and the advanced network features are very valuable to me.

Subject:      Re: Downloading Problem

If you're "getting" files from the net,  you would use a ^K to initiate the
downloader and use the GET option and specify the file.  If you're merely
trying to download a log of your communication, I believe it's SHIFT ^PF2.
Consult the Help file (^H) for more specific info.
