What is the typical architecture for K-12 schools connecting to the
Internet?
Do they:
#1 Have a modem connection to a computer at a local university;
#2 SLIP connection to a regional;
#3 UUCP connection to somewhere;
#4 Access a school district network that connects to regional?
Texas is fielding a program using V.32bis dial access [toll-free] to
SLIP capable servers, and unix hosts for doing the usual internet
things (mail, news, etc.) The next step would be to directly connect
the 300 or so schools that have installed LANs.
