This award enables four independent liberal arts colleges (Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith) to connect to NSFNET through a fractional T1 link (one-third T1, approximately 500,000 bits per second) to the mid-level network NEARnet, the New England Academic and Research Network. Access to NSFNET provides the faculty and students of the four colleges with increased opportunity for collaboration and use of a wide range of research tools such as supercomputing and shared databases. Five Colleges, Inc., consists of the four colleges and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Responsibility for network operations and management is assumed by the computing centers of the participating colleges, each of which has established campus- wide local area networks. The new connectivity vastly improves the file transfer and remote login capabilities between these four institutions themselves, and with other institutions.

该奖项使四所独立的文理学院（Amherst, Hampshire， Mount Holyoke和Smith）能够通过分数T1链路（三分之一T1，大约每秒500,000比特）连接到NSFNET的中级网络nenenet，即新英格兰学术和研究网络。访问国家科学基金网络为四所学院的教师和学生提供了更多的合作机会，并使用了广泛的研究工具，如超级计算机和共享数据库。Five Colleges, Inc.由四所学院和马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校组成。网络运营和管理的责任由参与的学院的计算中心承担，每个学院都建立了校园范围的局域网。新的连接性极大地改善了这四个机构之间以及与其他机构之间的文件传输和远程登录功能。
