9417258 Bonner Russell Sage College requests support from NSF for connection of its Sagenet Consortium Network to NYSERnet. NYSERnet is the midlevel network located in the state of New York. Sagenet is composed of Russell Sage College of Troy, Sage Junior College of Albany, Sage Evening College, and Sage Graduate School. NYSERnet will provide operations management and information services and it will give Russell Sage College a 56 thousand bits per second connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The College needs greater functionality and network speed to be able to access supercomputers, libraries, and make file transfers along with being able to implement a more reliable mail system. Students and faculty research will benefit from the link. This is also a unique opportunity for the school to explore innovative educational resources.
