This will give each student with their own computer, the ability to use e-mail, have internet access, and use programs set up on the network from their rooms. There is no modem access to the University Network for residential students. Students living off campus can apply for remote access through Technology Services located in the basement of Hopkins Hall. Recommendations for Computers Technology Services makes no preferences as to the make or model of any computer coming on to our network. We do suggest that any incoming students thinking of majoring in journalism consider purchasing a Macintosh due to program specific software.
Most newer computers come with the network interface card already built in.
Older computers should be taken to your local Macintosh Support Center for advice on a network interface card for an Ethernet 10 base T Novell Network. Upon arriving on campus, students can pick up an instructional booklet that explains how to set their computer up to our network here at St. Bonaventure. These booklets are available at any of the computer labs around campus, your RA or at Technology Services in the basement of Hopkins Hall. Technology Services cannot do any physical repairs to student computers to prepare them for our network. This should be done at your local computer support center.
