It currently says: "TCP/IP (mac TCP)"
It *should* say: "Open Transport TCP/IP or MacTCP"

Also, I would remove or rephrase "MIT-licensed". That sounds like
it's part of a site license and it isn't; it's developed here at MIT,

Error: the MacDiscuss "Local Home Page" link points to the
*MacZephyr* quick guide.

I don't think the Help Desk should be advertised as an official
support resource for PageMaker at MIT. I/S has never fully supported
the product, Adobe stopped developing the product over two years ago,
and none of us are really 'experts' in it.

I don't think WS_FTP should be listed as a supported product. I/S
has no documentation on it. And speaking for myself, I'm not
comfortable with encouraging the use of insecure file transfer
software in the MIT environment. Netscape has a built-in FTP client,
and we already support Netscape. Plop and HostExplorer can do secure
file uploads. I think that's enough.
