To help maintain modem accessibility to UOnet, modem activity at the UO is automatically monitored.
Because we don't have enough modems to let everyone have a dedicated personal modem connection, we ask for your cooperation in limiting your connect time to no more than an average of two hours a day (or 14 hours per week). Those who exceed 14 hours of connect time per week will be contacted by a Computing Center staff member and encouraged to subscribe to a commercial network service provider. A list of local providers is available at http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/eug-access.html
We recognize that occasionally a pressing project or other special circumstance may require you to exceed the 14 hours-a-week target, and that is something we can accommodate—on the rare occasions when special circumstances develop. What concerns us is a consistent and unsustainable pattern far in excess of the target usage threshold.
Remember, too, that sharing your modem account with others is strictly prohibited (see "Acceptable Use of Computing Resources," http://cc.uoregon.edu/acceptableuse.html)
Please cooperate in helping us make the most of the limited resources we have available.
