--- TIC-TECH message:
As we've all been very painfully aware, access to the Internet has continued
to be slow. The slowness is the result of far more connection attempts than
the Bess proxy boxes are rated to handle. That, in turn, is the result of
continuing progress to bring more schools on line and to connect more
computers to the network.
If all works as we hope, we will be installing an additional proxy box,
running a faster version of software, early next week. We expect the
additional server to significantly improve the speed of Internet access.
This is an interim solution while we continue to research filtering options.
Thanks,
Judy
