The SSR routes all of our 17 campus subnets. We use one port as an uplink to the Internet via our firewall. The subnets terminate in the SSR at 100 mbps full duplex, but we haven't been able to bog the machine down. We've had a few software problems, but these have been minor considering its overall performance.

Message-ID: Hello everyone-- Can anyone make any recommendations about *graphing* software? Our Chemistry dept is looking for something that will allow them to see very precise coordinate information along a trend line -- not necessarily coordinates just of data points, but of any point along the line, and they need it as detailed as 3 decimal points. They're finding they can't get that fine a grid using just Excel. They're also interested in using what other Chemistry programs, grad programs etc are using, since they'd like to teach their students the tools they might encounter later on.

The workshop is being sponsored by Whitman College, with funding from the Murdock Foundation. It is a workshop to address the use of technology in a traditional art curriculum (more in liberal arts). The workshop is free of charge... in fact, your travel expense (milage/airfare, meals, lodging) will be paid by the grant...so all you need to do is commit your time. It's hard to believe, I know...but it's true. So far, we have faculty and IT staff from Pacific, Willamette, Marylhurst, Seattle Pacific, PLU, UPS, George Fox, Linfield, and Whitman signed up. We had limited the attendance to 25 and already have that number of attendees. However, we decided that we can add 3 or 4 more people without compromising quality or comfort. If you are interested, please email Gary Esarey (esarey@whitman.edu) immediately.

We have a DLT 7000 drive connected to a Sun server backing up our UNIX systems and eventually our NT systems. We are running an older version of Legato that we find somewhat difficult to do remote server administration on, however we will be updating the software this summer and hope that it has been improved. We are running into tape capacity issues so we'll have to look at new drive options in the future. We also had to watch the amount of traffic we put across the network because the backup can swamp a slow router or network connection. -Ted Krupicka Technical Operations Manager Email: krupicka@pacificu.edu University Information Services Tel: (503) 359-2927 2043 College Way Fax: (503) 359-3162 Forest Grove, OR 97116 http://www.pacificu.edu/ -----Original Message----- From: Casey Feskens [mailto:cfeskens@willamette.edu] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 9:37 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Commercial Backup Software We are currently in the process of re-evaluating our datacenter backup plan and recommending purchases for new equipment.

This is the 29th Annual SIGUCCS User Services Conference and is one of the premier conferences for user support professionals in higher education. What's even more exciting is that it is being held in our own backyard--the Downtown Portland Marriott this coming October! We are seeking papers discussing topics of interest to user support professionals such as training, general support issues, faculty support and up and coming issues. 250-300 word abstractsare due by *MAY 1st* with acceptance notification by June 5th. Accepted papers will then be due July 15th. If you would like to receive a printed copy of the CFP, please let me know and I will put one in the mail to you. However, the complete document, in PDF format, is avialable in the program section of the conference website. This is also where you will find the online submission form. http://www.acm.org/siguccs/ If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to seeing you at the conference in Portland, Oregon! Thanks!

Message-ID: Hello everyone-- Can anyone make any recommendations about *graphing* software? Our Chemistry dept is looking for something that will allow them to see very precise coordinate information along a trend line -- not necessarily coordinates just of data points, but of any point along the line, and they need it as detailed as 3 decimal points. They're finding they can't get that fine a grid using just Excel. They're also interested in using what other Chemistry programs, grad programs etc are using, since they'd like to teach their students the tools they might encounter later on. Any recommendations? thanks, Shannon Shannon Callister Director, Academic Technology Whitman College Technology Services Walla Walla, WA phone: 509-527-4948 email:callissb@whitman.edu From irvw at linfield.edu Tue Apr 24 13:54:08 2001 From: irvw at linfield.edu (Irv Wiswall) Date: Thu Oct 5 10:00:22 2006 Subject: security Message-ID: <4483864.3197109248@[10.171.200.11]> Folks, some time ago I ran across a device that provides anti thieft security.

The workshop is being sponsored by Whitman College, with funding from the Murdock Foundation. It is a workshop to address the use of technology in a traditional art curriculum (more in liberal arts). The workshop is free of charge... in fact, your travel expense (milage/airfare, meals, lodging) will be paid by the grant...so all you need to do is commit your time. It's hard to believe, I know...but it's true. So far, we have faculty and IT staff from Pacific, Willamette, Marylhurst, Seattle Pacific, PLU, UPS, George Fox, Linfield, and Whitman signed up. We had limited the attendance to 25 and already have that number of attendees. However, we decided that we can add 3 or 4 more people without compromising quality or comfort. If you are interested, please email Gary Esarey (esarey@whitman.edu) immediately.

We have a DLT 7000 drive connected to a Sun server backing up our UNIX systems and eventually our NT systems. We are running an older version of Legato that we find somewhat difficult to do remote server administration on, however we will be updating the software this summer and hope that it has been improved. We are running into tape capacity issues so we'll have to look at new drive options in the future. We also had to watch the amount of traffic we put across the network because the backup can swamp a slow router or network connection. -Ted Krupicka Technical Operations Manager Email: krupicka@pacificu.edu University Information Services Tel: (503) 359-2927 2043 College Way Fax: (503) 359-3162 Forest Grove, OR 97116 http://www.pacificu.edu/ -----Original Message----- From: Casey Feskens [mailto:cfeskens@willamette.edu] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 9:37 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Commercial Backup Software We are currently in the process of re-evaluating our datacenter backup plan and recommending purchases for new equipment.
