Nathan, From what we have heard at CS, ACNS will be doubling the number of modems. Their modems are already faster than those that we have at the department (just too expensive for us to keep up with that upgrade game -- ACNS has more resources in that area). The move to charge for the service came in reaction to a major increase in cost per line from US West. What the heck, $22 for a semester? Not bad at all for what you get. Hopefully the doubling in the number of modems and the fee will make it easier to connect via ACNS. As you probably noticed last semester, it is already fairly difficult to connect via the lab.
