A NIC provides several advantages to using a modem for CLUnet access. The NIC does not tie up the phone line so that you or your roommates can talk on the phone and use the computer at the same time. Your connection also provides access to CLU provided commercial databases with Netscape. Beginning in the 99-00 school year, the University stopped supporting pc's running Windows 3.1 due to Y2K incompatabilities. Prices include a 10' cable.
Longer cables are available at an additional cost.
ISS will not support NIC's that we do not install. You pay no other connect or use fees.
