I know this is probably a little off the subject for OSF managers
but in many ways it is not. We currently automatically give all
our students a VMS account on a dedicated alpha 2100 computer whos
lease is up in a couple of months. This one account gives them
domain space, web space, email, pop, and an interactive account
for whatever they need. Our management has decided the WinNT is
our "corporate directive" and want to move everyone to an NT account
only and retire the VMS machine. Our DU presents is mostly in
the research area for faculty, grad students and engineering.

Personally I see a lot of shortcomings using NT but would like to know
where other institutions are heading. If you can give let me know
where your group is heading, experiences (good/bad) you've had, etc.

As always, I'll summarize for the group.

Thanks, Jon.
