term is not allowed because it is hard to track what people are doing.
However, I believe there are programs that let you open multiple vt100
windows and that's it (i.e. no TCP access). MacLayers is one of them - I've
been using that to do my assignments for years without difficulty. I'm sure
there must be others. That could actually improve productivity on the CS
lines so people could log off sooner.

Cheers,
Kevin.
