let's take the "some" out of the last bullet and add at the end "and
maintain their MIT identity while sending e-mail from off campus."
Let's make a plug for KfW 2.5 here too. Sample text that could be included
as a new paragraph here:
A new version of Kerberos for Windows, KfW 2.5, is now available. While
you are taking time to upgrade Eudora, we recommend that you also install
KfW 2.5. More information is available in the KfW announcement and through
the documentation mentioned below.
