PREPnet/NSFNET Access Upgrade for Immaculata College

小行星9423613 该提案要求为Immaculata学院提供资金，以将其校园网络在更高的水平上重新连接到宾夕法尼亚州区域中级网络PREPnet。 Immaculata学院目前连接到PREPnet，但在最低水平，不足以满足需求，即使是少数教师和管理人员谁拥有校园网络连接。 使用帧中继连接，路由器和CSU/DSU的升级访问将极大地提高教师和工作人员的研究，以及促进改善信息服务，以学生在Immaculata的可用资源。 这种NSFNET连接的好处包括本地和远程研究人员和教育工作者之间的电子邮件，文件传输能力和使用远程计算机资源的能力。 此外，学院将有能力调查教育资源的创新，并将其纳入课程。

9423613 Pine This proposal requests funds for Immaculata College to reconnect its campus network at a much higher level to the Pennsylvania regional mid-level network, PREPnet. Immaculata College is currently connected to PREPnet, but at a minimal level which dos not adequately meet the needs of even the few faculty and administrators who have a campus network connection. Upgraded access using a frame relay connection, a router, and a CSU/DSU would immeasurably enhance the available resources for faculty and staff research as well as facilitate improved information service to student at Immaculata. The benefits of this NSFNET connection include e-mail between local and remote researchers and educators, file transfer capability and the ability to use remote computer resources. Also the college will have the ability to investigate innovation in educational resources and incorporate them into their curricula.
