Hi, I was interested in helping set up the MIT-net connections for my
dorm, Macgregor, and I was told that you would be the person to
contact..
If you have time, I'd really appreciate any information on what I should
do or who I should talk to about this.. thanks a lot!

========================================================================
Conroy-
Thank you for your interest in the Resnet project. The following
outlines what we propose to do in the dormitories. We will begin
putting fiber in very soon. It will take us into the Fall to complete
wiring every room with ethernet. Service will be turned on at the
beginning of second semester.
We do not expect to hire students for the wiring but will be looking to
hire students in the Fall to support the network in the dormitories. We
will probably be posting the job descriptions at the start of first
semester.
