By now, a number of Cornell University faculty, students, and staff have signed up for the Road Runner internet service from Time Warner. Some CIT staff and student employees are in this group.
Anecdotal reports suggest that most people are happy with their choice.
After you have filled out and submitted a Web-based form, you will be contacted by a Time Warner representative to set up an appointment. Our experience is that calling is faster. The Bear Access suite of software, including Netscape and Eudora, work fine. When you use a Time Warner connection, though, your computer is assigned a non-Cornell IP address. Cornell has set up a proxy server that will allow access to these restricted library databases.
