        I almost forgot....

        As for the use of Ethernet cards, we sell them through our campus
computer reseller, and we also rent them to students on a semester basis.
Our security is set up so that each IP address is assigned to one Ethernet
address on a permanent basis, and each port is allowed to function only for
one Ethernet address.  If another Ethernet address attempts to use the
port, it shuts down until our support personnel go to the site, investigate
the problem, and reset the port.
        Initial questions are handled by our student-run help desk, and any
in-depth software or hardware issues are handled by full-time department
staff.

        Sorry about the addendum -- I forgot a few important things.  Once
again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

                                                        Mike
