Large-scale Internet Access, cont.

[Catherine Filipowicz <catherine.filipowicz@EXECNET.COM>]

I'm still pursuing my questions about large-scale Internet access for
students and staff.

One concern someone brought up-- Those who have various kinds of
dial-up or on-demand access: do you experience difficulties "getting
on" due to heavy demand and not enough available lines? (I'm not
talking telnet here.) If you do, what sort of access is it that you
have, and who is your provider? I'm particularly interested in
hearing from NYSERNet users, but I think other people on the list
want to hear from other parts of the country.

Second, for those schools that provide for individual student
accounts: What do the students actually do with these accounts? For
myself, I'm particularly interested in what at-risk, low-achieving
students with poor reading and writing skills do. (This describes a
large proportion of our student population in Yonkers.)

Again, please respond to me directly. I'll summarize all this for the
list when I get done collecting information. Thanks so much!
