The College provides a connection service to allow residential students at Lanfranc to connect their computers to the College computer network. This connection allows students to use the College's electronic mail service, connection via SuperJanet to the Internet and the ability to access their own file area on the network. The scheme involves a rental service where bona fide students residential at Lanfranc can rent a network card and connecting lead from the Department of Computing Services at a cost of 2 per week . At present the service only covers student machines that support either Windows 95, Windows NT or Windows for Workgroups.
Students are responsible for installation of the card and configuation of their own machines.
A set of installation and configuration instructions will be provided by the College for machines supporting Windows 95. Students with machines running these operating systems will be responsible for acquiring any instructions themselves from elsewhere. The College can not accept any liability for damage that may occur to student machines as a result of either the card installation or computer configuration.
