- It seems we are in agreement here then. We should provide access to the
- Internet as soon as possible. I also agree that providing dialup access
- to a machine on the Internet would be quicker and more practical to do
- now.
- The only real problem with providing SLIP access is that it might
- use up resources from others. We do not want the few to hog the resources
- that are for the many. However I also think that if we can get the resources
- we should provide as much as we can.
