Just curious if any departments or colleges have a backup Internet connection? I hadn't realized how tightly coupled my work is with full Internet access. Lots of little minor things: windows updates on new laptop setups, a dead server that needs Dell files for recovery, etc. Could do some things at Beaners/Gone Wired, but then I can't read my MSU email. Is it even possible to get a DSL connection on campus, or cable modem? I was thinking about a Sprint EVDO card that could be setup in our conference room and shared among faculty/staff wirelessly. ======== This isn't to be taken as a criticism of ACNS or Merit. I'm sure they are working very hard to solve this issue. -John LIR
