Our Highschool, Niles West is currently hooked up to the net through
nslsilus.org, which goes through mcs.com, We are however setting up
our own Unix Server at the present time.  I am the president of this
club, and I am sure our club would be able to stop by and try to help
you guys out for a very small donation.. Email if interested
