Connection to the Minnesota Regional Network

明尼苏达州私立学院理事会的十所学院要求以电信设备和租用线路的形式提供支持，以便将其校园网络连接到明尼苏达州区域网络（MRNet）。所涉及的机构——奥格斯堡学院、伯特利学院、康考迪亚学院、古斯塔夫斯·阿道夫斯学院、哈姆林大学、马卡莱斯特学院、圣凯瑟琳学院、圣玛丽学院、圣斯科尔蒂卡学院和圣托马斯学院——将为国家网络接入开发一个一致的全系统架构，并将为互联网的一般接入提供一个结构。此外，通过MRNet和明尼苏达超级计算中心提供全网管理和信息服务，将培育一个更高质量的通信系统。所建议的连接将提供可靠、相对高速和灵活的功能访问，如文件传输、远程登录和电话会议。这些链接将提高教师和学生的研究和个人生产力能力，并将提供重要的、额外的资源来补充课程。它还将促进访问国家网络及其服务，包括超级计算资源和大型数据库访问。

Ten colleges of the Minnesota Private College Council request support in the form of telecommunications equipment and leased lines in order to connect their campus networks to the Minnesota Regional Network (MRNet). The institutions involved - Augsburg College, Bethel College, Concordia College, Gustavus Adolphus College, Hamline University, Macalester College, College of St. Catherine, College of St. Mary, College of St Scholatica, and the College of St. Thomas - will develop a consistent system-wide architecture for national network access and will provide a structure for general access to the Internet. Additionally, a higher quality communications system will be fostered by providing network-wide management and information services through MRNet and the Minnesota Supercomputing Center. The proposed connections will provide reliable, relatively high- speed, and flexible access to functions such as file transfer, remote login, and teleconferencing. The links will enhance the research and personal-productivity capabilities of faculty and students and will make available significant, additional resources to supplement course work. It will also facilitate access to national networks and their services, including supercomputing resources and large database access.
