Campus Data Network Rates - Effective January 1, 1996

Standard Connection - $18.50/month per computer

Available for Macintosh and Windows computers, standard service provides a Campus Data Network connection and support for standard Yale and Internet communications software including: electronic mail, calendar/scheduling software, WWW browser (Netscape), File Transfer (FTP), NetNews reader, and terminal emulation for access to Orbis and Yale administrative systems.

Remote Access to the Campus Network- $18.50 or $5/month per computer

Remote access options include AppleTalk Remote Access Services for Macintosh computers and "PPP" services for other computer systems to allow clients to obtain full data network services across a telephone connection. These services are available at $18.50 per month per computer to clients for whom this is their only Yale network connection; clients who also subscribe to an office network connection may obtain remote access services for $5/month per computer.

Installation Fees - $200 or $40

Installation fees are $200 per connection until the building wiring projects are completed. As soon as the wiring project is completed in a building, the fee to activate an existing wall jack in that building will drop to $40. This fee is waived for a connection activated for immediate use in conjunction with a building wiring project; Data Network Operations will contact occupants in each building in advance of its wiring project to identify connections to be made as part of the project.

Setup fees for a remote access account are $40.

Local Support Options for Schools and Departments

Schools and departments which already provide local network equipment, software and support staff may use one of two local support options:

• Basic local support at $12/month per computer provides a Campus Data Network connection but no communications software or support. It is intended primarily for clients who use a machine other than Macintosh or Windows. The individual or local support group is responsible for providing and supporting all desktop network software.
• Available to a group which manages its own large network, the private network option at $6.50/month/computer ($325/month minimum charge) provides a single gateway connection to the Campus Data Network. The department or work group is responsible for providing all internal wiring, electronics, desktop software and client support and for diagnosing and correcting any network problems which may occur in the private network.

Please refer questions about these rates to Joseph Paolillo, Associate Director, C&IS, for Data Network Operations, 2-6673 or Joseph.Paolillo@yale.edu.
