Modem management committee to be formed ACNS plans to form a modem management committee, consisting of people who use the modems, that will establish policy for the modem pool. For example, if a cash reserve is accumulated, the committee will make recommendations as to when and to what degree the modem pool will be expanded. The committee will be established over the summer by the associate director for University Information Technology Support Services. For more information about the modem pool expansion, contact Pat Burns , ACNS director, 491-5778. Since this connection offers much faster service with no busy signals, students living in University housing should take advantage of this opportunity and should not subscribe to the modem pool.
Students can also subscribe to the modem pool during electronic registration.
Subscribing to the modem pool will cause a nonrefundable charge to be issued to a person's University account. Access to the modems will be controlled via information stored on ACNS' central servers. To be validated, a person must exist in the University's central data base and have an account on the central servers, or be otherwise validated by their department head. Let's look at modem usage for Thursday, April 2. This is impressive, as it represents 84 percent of full capacity for the entire 24 hour day.
