RollaNet Meeting Report
December 5, 1997
Seasons Greetings from RollaNet!!
-
Announcements:
-
We know many of you are getting busy signals. The new modems have
arrived (quite some time ago, actually), and in early November, after a
lengthy wait for pricing from Sprint, we ordered the two T-1s to connect
the modems. We recently received an install date of December 15.
Assuming all goes well, RollaNet users will have 48 more modems answering
their calls before school lets out -- making a total of 144 modem lines.
-
RollaNet now has exclusive use of a full T-1 Internet connection.
UMR has returned to MOREnet service, and RollaNet is now the only user
of the T-1 Sprintlink line, so you may notice a slight improvement.
