Subject: Re: CD Rom Network
Yes -- we connected Optinet to the Follett system we had running
on a Novell network. It works well -- we donn't have a tower
yet, just daisy chained. The main weird thing is that Ctrl-Q to
exit had been a big secret since I did not want the kids
exiting Search Plus when it was all we had. I had to then tell
them all how to exit once we loaded the CD-ROMs. You do have to
rethink security with the network guys (or whoever sets up the
CD-ROM network) to minimize what the kids can get into.
