Welcome

ASC ResNet is a high-speed 10baseT-ethernet network from selected dorms (Coronado, Girault and Conour) to the Internet.¾ With an ethernet equipped PC (Mac or PC compatible) connected to ASC ResNet, you can directly access the Internet to browse any web site for research or pleasure, and access e-mail to keep in touch with family and friends any time night or day.¾ This means no more modems, busy phone lines or time limits to worry about.

ASC ResNet is not meant to replace the conventional computer labs on the campus. Computer labs are available to any student, whenever the labs are open. However, ASC ResNet offers students a chance to literally use the research power of the Internet 24 hours a day from their dorm rooms.
