The RezNet Ethernet connection is over a separate line and does not take up the room phone line. Students can not use a modem on the computer port in the residence halls. So when you are using a modem to use the Internet on the phone line, you can't make or receive calls. In addition, the Ethernet connection is several times as fast as the modem and the Ethernet connection is active every moment the computer is on with no hourly or monthly charges. There are computer labs located all around campus with both Macintosh and PC computers.

Students should also bring a disk on which to save their work. We have a troubleshooting guide to assist you. No, ECU does not provide a News server for News Group access.
