We are planning to connect a couple of residence halls to the campus
network in the summer of 1994. We plan one ethernet connection per bed.
That leads to a question about policy where we could benefit from the
experience of others.
From microcomputers in faculty/staff offices we allow direct access to
the internet via telnet, gopher, mosaic
From public equipment (e.g., computer labs), we allow access only to
local servers and local host computers, so a user can only telnet
to other sites by logging onto a local host, not from a microcomputer
directly.
I would like to know the kind of access other institutions allow to
the internet from residence hall room microcomputers:
Only through a local host computer?
Direct ethernet access from microcomputers?
Ethernet access from microcomputers only with some kind of
authentication - and if so, what kind of authentication?
Thank you for your help.
