Offers graduate and under-graduate courses in visual physiology and perception leading to joint degrees with other departments at U of R. All the faculty and staff and most of the students associated with the Center have accounts. Work load consists of word processing, statistical/graphics processing and analysis of data collected from laboratory computers(mostly running RT-11). Several courses will be using a local USENET newsgroup. Ur-cvsvax consists of a VAX/750(5 Mb), 1 RA81, 1 RA60, 1 TU80, 1 RX02, 32 line Emulex Statcon-11, 1 DZ-11 and several modems. Running 4.2bsd. Using S and BMDP.

It's mainly used to connect stand-alone terminals to a campus-wide network of computers including VAXen, DEC-2060's, IBM 30xx's and 40xx's. We've only been running UUCP for 4 months now, so our polling policy is not well established. Right now we're happy to be part of a local network whose central node connects to the outside world. We do have auto-dial modems, so establishing, say, a weekly connection by phone is not out of the question. We are not the ARPANET. /####\ / .. \ | @ } \ _ / \___/ Bill (no signature yet) Vaughn
