On February 28, 2000, Computing Center network engineers completed the consolidation of our modem pools. The V.90 modems served by 346-6520 and 346-3565 are now in one large pool of 288 modems at 346-6520.
The old modem numbers (346-3565, 346-1586, 346-2150) will continue to be forwarded to the new pool until next fall. After that, they will be removed from service.
Continued expansion. On March 9, a new pool of 76 V.90 modems was put into service at 346-5975. These modems are connected through AT&T.
In the future, we plan to migrate all our modem pool services to AT&T connections, which should be less expensive and allow for future expansion. Funding has already been approved to expand the modem pool to a total of 576 by fall of 2000
