Hi folks,

    NC State University is (also) in the process of providing network 
access from our Residence halls.  We're currently struggling with a 
strategy for providing TCP/IP software, namely a TCP/IP stack, to 
students.  We had hoped to distribute MacTCP and LAN WorkPlace for 
DOS, however it is unclear whether our license with Novell will allow 
us to distribute LAN WorkPlace to students.
    
What TCP/IP stacks are you providing for your students with 
residential network connections?

    Do you have licensing agreements with the company who sells that 
software, if it is a commercial product?

    Do you charge for copies of the software?  How much?

    How do you ensure appropriate use of the software?  Do you have 
students sign a use agreement?

Thanks very much for any information you can provide.
Susan Klein
