(Oops, you can ignore that last message!)
We are in the process of gearing up for the fall service including
expanded service to additional dormitories and Independent Living
Groups. As of today, undergraduates can contact the Residential
Computing Consultants (RCC) in their dorm for assistance in getting
connected to the campus computer network. Service to Huntington Hall
was shut down for the summer and is planned to reconnected tomorrow.
Service is also being extended to McCormick Annex (W2) and should be
available next week.
All Independent Living Groups now have working MITnet connections.
Students living in ILG's should contact their ILG Network
Administrator for information about MITnet connections in their house.
Service to the new sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, should also be available
next week.
A list of RCCs, ILG Network Administrators, and other information can
be found in the Computing/Networking (student residences) section in
TechInfo. Information is available via the World Wide Web at the
following URL:
http://web.mit.edu/afs/net/admin/residential/home.html
To add to the value of residential MITnet connections, a limited suite
of software applications for Macintosh computers, including Matlab and
Maple, will soon be available to users in dorms and ILG's. A similar
suite for Windows machines should be available later in the Fall
semester.
MITnet service for the first four graduate dormitories, Ashdown House
(W1), Edgerton House (NW10), Green Hall (W5), and Tang Residence Hall
(W84) will be available beginning October 1, 1994. Students
interested in MITnet connections in these dorms should send e'mail to
grad-wait@MIT.EDU with the following information:
Name
Email address
Phone number
Jack number (this should be written on the phone jack in each room)
The name you want for your machines
Machine vendor and model (e.g. Apple Macintosh PowerPC)
Eastgate (E55) and Westgate (W85) will not have MITnet service
available until the 1995 fall term when MIT 5ESS phone service is
installed in those buildings.
Questions about residential networking at MIT can be sent via
electronic mail to resnet-help@MIT.EDU.
