McAfee               Security               identifies               each               month               500               new               computer               viruses.

Are               you               protected?

Students               at               Eastern               Connecticut               State               University               in               Willimantic,               CT               are               entitled               to               a               free               copy               of               the               McAfee               Virus               Scan               for               PCs               or               the               McAfee               Virex               for               Macs               at               Webb               Hall               410               General               Purpose               Computer               Lab               (WH               410)               at               no               cost.

They               can               use               the               software               on               any               computer               they               own.

Free               updates               are               available               via               the               Internet               for               one               year.

The               software               sells               for               $29.95               on               the               McAfee               website.

According               to               Steve               Frazier,               Information               Center               Manager               from               Eastern's               Information               Technology               Services               (ITS),               many               students               have               computers               that               are               vulnerable               to               virus               attacks.

Resident               students               often               bring               their               computers               to               Eastern               without               anti-virus               software               or               fail               to               obtain               updates               to               protect               them               from               the               newest               viruses.
               Frazier               says               that               ECSU               may               be               one               of               the               first               universities               to               make               a               deal               with               McAfee               to               offer               free               anti-virus               software               to               students.

Purchasing               individual               licenses               to               cover               the               entire               student               body               would               have               been               nearly               $150,000               but               because               of               negotiations               by               Kevin               Gill,               World               Wide               Web               project               leader               the               cost               was               only               $3,000.
               The               Information               Technology               Fund
               The               $3,000               cost               is               being               paid               for               using               the               Information               Technology               Fund               (ITF).

Students               are               required               to               pay               $100               each               semester               towards               this               fund.
               Frazier               went               on               to               give               a               breakdown               of               how               the               ITF               is               being               used.

He               said               that               the               goal               of               Eastern               is               to               use               the               funds               to               provide               technology               that               is               available               to               all               students.


               The               money               provides               students               access               to               117               PC's               in               WH               410               and               87               PC's               in               four               computer               classrooms               in               Webb               Hall               (WH               206,               307,               314,               and               407)               and               114               PCs               in               the               Library               classrooms(LI               107,               108,               and               109).

Costs               of               paper               and               toner               as               well               as               repairing               printers               and               projection               units               in               these               areas               are               also               paid               for               through               ITF.


               Student               workers               and               part-time               university               assistant               staff               in               WH               410               and               Residential               Hall               Network               (RESNET)               student               workers               are               paid               using               ITF.

RESNET               student               workers               live               in               eight               of               the               nine               residential               halls               and               assist               students               in               connecting               to               the               Internet               using               their               computer               in               their               rooms.

ITF               enables               WH               410               to               be               open               for               students               for               24               hours               a               day               during               midterms               and               finals.
               New,               faster               computers               were               installed               in               Library               107,               108,               and               109               replacing               the               older               computers               that               were               first               installed               in               the               labs               when               the               Library               opened               three               and               a               half               years               ago.

This               came               at               a               cost               of               $299,856               that               was               paid               for               by               students               who               attended               ECSU               Fall               2001               and               Spring               2002.

Sixty-one               percent               of               the               ITF               fund               that               year               funded               the               project               while               students               paid               $83,170.74               (17%)               for               the               yearly               computer               lease               on               the               computers               in               WH               410.
               Approximately               every               three               years,               older               computers               in               the               classrooms               and               WH               410               are               replaced               with               newer,               faster               computers.

These               costs               are               also               paid               for               using               ITF.

Frazier               says               that               next               summer               the               PC's               in               WH               410               will               be               replaced               with               newer               computers.
               One               of               the               goals               Frazier               has               is               to               "replace               the               standard               mice               with               optical               mice               when               computers               are               upgraded".

Although               not               paid               for               through               ITF,               residential               hall               computer               labs               and               the               Library               computers               now               have               these               new               optical               mice.

Standard               mice               operate               through               wheels               inside               the               mouse,               which               get               dusty               causing               the               cursor               to               move               erratically               across               the               screen.

Optical               mice               work               on               any               surface               and               don't               require               a               mouse               pad.
               A               faster               and               more               efficient               network
               Students               can               access               the               Internet               faster               thanks               to               an               upgrade               done               on               November               21,               says               Dave               Bachand,               Data               Network               Manager               of               the               Information               Technology               Services               Department               (ITS).

The               upgrade               means               that               we               now               log               on               to               a               network               that               can               handle               10Mb/s               (10               megabits               of               traffic               per               second)               compared               with               the               7Mb/s               network               that               we               used               to               log               on               to.

The               upgrade               was               done               by               the               State               of               Connecticut               Network               Department               of               Information               Technology               who               handles               Internet               traffic               at               all               four               CSU's.
               Bachand               explains               that               "there               have               been               complains               that               Internet               performance               in               the               residence               halls               is               substantially               slower               than               in               the               labs.

It               is               true               that               the               peak               browser               performance               from               a               station               in               the               labs               is               about               seven               times               faster               than               a               station               located               in               the               residence               halls."
               To               understand               why               this               is               so,               one               must               realize               that               our               network               is               separated               into               two               categories:               academic               buildings,               with               approximately               1100               computers,               and               residential               halls,               with               approximately               1500               computers.

Computers               in               academic               buildings               such               as               the               Library               and               Webb               Hall               are               guaranteed               access               to               the               network               at               3.5Mb/s               but               seldom               use               more               than               2Mb/s.

Computers               in               residence               halls               (both               student-owned               and               in               residence               hall               computer               labs)               are               guaranteed               access               to               6.5Mb/s               but               typically               have               8Mb/s               or               higher.
               The               more               resources               being               used               by               the               academic               buildings               means               that               less               resources               are               available               to               residence               halls.

Since               all               academic               buildings               are               closed               between               12am               and               7am,               students               in               residence               halls               have               access               to               10Mb/s.
               "It               should               be               obvious               that               the               difference               between               the               areas               of               the               campus               is               not               because               the               Resnet               network               is               slower               than               the               rest               of               the               campus               but               is               due               to               the               way               that               the               network               is               used               in               the               residence               halls,"               Bachand               said.
               On               computers               in               academic               buildings,               most               network               traffic               is               local               to               the               campus.

An               example               of               local               traffic               is               the               ECSU               e-mail               server.

Internet               file               sharing               and               games               are               not               commonly               used               in               these               areas.

Even               though               there               is               a               small               amount               of               bandwidth               per               station,               there               is               a               large               pool               of               free               bandwidth               available               that               is               shared               among               all               the               stations.
               Most               network               traffic               is               going               to               the               Internet               in               residence               halls               and               student               use               patterns               show               that               there               is               a               great               deal               of               file               sharing               and               gaming               which               creates               a               high               steady               rate               of               network               traffic.

More               stations               on               average               are               using               more               of               the               bandwidth,               which               means               there               is               less               bandwidth               to               share               among               all               the               stations.

This               means               that               if               much               of               the               bandwidth               was               being               used               in               the               past,               some               students               either               couldn't               get               onto               the               Internet               or               experienced               extremely               slow               connection               speeds.
               In               an               effort               to               provide               equal               access               for               all               students               in               the               residence               halls,               each               computer               there               is               guaranteed               to               receive               a               minimum               of               40Kb/s               with               the               ability               to               peak               to               125Kb/s.

40Kb/s               is               comparable               to               a               typical               modem               connection               while               125               Kb/s               is               comparable               to               many               broadband               services.

The               minimum               speed               still               allows               students               to               play               online               games               but               will               make               file               transfer               speeds               slower               than               in               the               past.
               "The               guaranteed               limit               takes               us               out               of               the               loop               of               managing               how               students               are               using               their               share               of               the               network,"               explains               Bachand.
               Many               universities               have               stricter               network               policies               that               limit               the               amount               of               information               a               student               can               download               in               a               month.

For               example,               the               University               of               Connecticut               limits               students               to               five               gigabytes               of               Internet               usage               per               month.

Those               who               exceed               this               are               automatically               given               a               slower               connection               speed               for               the               rest               of               the               month.
               File               sharing
               Peer-to-peer               file               sharing               applications               such               as               Napster,               Gnutella/Bear               Share,               Audio               Galaxy,               and               Kazaa/Morpheus               pose               a               problem               at               universities               worldwide               explains               Fraizer.

These               applications               not               only               hog               up               the               bandwidth               but               allow               students               to               download               copyrighted               material.

Not               all               files               on               these               applications               are               copyrighted               but               many               are.
               Downloading               copyrighted               music               files               is               illegal               and               many               universities               are               cracking               down               on               offenders.

The               U.S.

Naval               Academy               recently               seized               100               computers               from               students               who               are               suspected               of               downloading               copyrighted               music               files.

They               could               face               penalties               ranging               from               loss               of               leave               time               to               court-martial               and               expulsion               in               one               of               the               most               severe               crackdowns               on               online               piracy,               according               to               a               November               26               article               in               the               New               York               Times.
               According               to               The               Times,               in               the               past,               the               strictest               universities               required               students               to               attend               copyright               forums               or               their               Internet               access               was               temporarily               shut               off.
               Fraizer               suspects               students               at               ECSU               might               be               downloading               copyrighted               materials               but               says               the               philosophy               at               Eastern               is               to               err               on               the               side               of               academic               freedom.
               However,               The               Recording               Industry               Association               of               America               (RIAA)               monitors               downloading               of               copyrighted               files               and               those               users               who               upload               numerous               music               files               or               DVD               movie               files               are               traced.
               In               the               past,               a               student               from               ECSU               uploaded               the               Spiderman               DVD               onto               the               Internet.

The               RIAA               found               out               about               this               and               contacted               the               administration               at               ECSU.

The               student               was               given               a               judicial               hearing               since               the               university               is               obligated               to               deal               with               students               who               break               federal               law.

In               this               case,               the               student               was               simply               warned               not               to               do               it               again.

However,               repeat               offenders               who               are               caught               by               organizations               like               the               RIA               can               face               more               serious               consequences.

Frazier               believes               that               most               cases               at               ECSU               involve               first-time               offenders.

He               explained               that               illegal               downloading               of               copyrighted               files               is               a               misdemeanor               once               the               value               of               the               files               exceeds               $30.
               Illegal               downloading               of               copyrighted               files               is               a               problem               that               will               only               rise               in               the               future.

The               popularity               of               downloading               files               from               the               Internet               increases               the               acceptability               of               this               behavior               but               record               and               movie               companies               claim               that               theft               of               intellectual               property               should               be               treated               the               same               as               shoplifting.

However,               the               most               compelling               reasons               to               download               music               is               because               of               the               inability               to               pick               and               choose               what               songs               you               want               and               that               a               typical               CD               can               cost               as               much               as               $20.
               As               a               result               of               this,               some               students               have               suggested               that               Eastern               purchase               a               faster               Internet               link               so               that               they               can               more               effectively               download               files               and               play               online               games.

Fraizer               says               that               for               a               noticeable               difference               the               line               would               need               to               be               upgraded               from               10Mb/s               to               at               least               45Mb/s.
               Providing               such               a               link               would               cost               approximately               1/3               of               a               million               dollars               per               year               and               would               come               at               the               expense               of               other               programs               such               as               new               computers               in               the               labs.

"It               would               be               difficult               to               explain               the               business               case               for               spending               money               on               what               is               at               best               an               unacceptable               activity               (file               sharing               and               gaming),               and               not               part               of               the               University's               mission,"               said               Frazier.
