2The NNTP server will eventually move to a seperate machine.
[3]Most in this category have no personal computer or access to one, but it also includes individuals which own older machines(e.g. IBM PC/XT), individuals who run unsupported environments (e.g. IBM OS/2), or those who have incompatble equipment (e.g. NeXT). The UTORmail technology is quite flexible and there is software which will work with most such environments (e.g. PC/XT, OS/2, and NeXT). However, the University finds it must limit the platforms and environments it supports because of the attendent costs of supporting a large number of lesser used ones.
4 Passwords for each service are independent.
5 firstname.lastname or firstinial.lastname. This is both the userid and part of the electronic mail address for incoming mail. When we go to a common authentication scheme like kerberos, the userid will become the eight digit bar code number, and will be seperate from the user settable electronic mail address.
6 For now, we will restrict access to UTORdist to those accessing the network through UofT's dial-in facilities or through a campus facility. In the future the eight digit bar code number will be used as a userid, and a password will be required.
7 We switched from MacTCP 1.1.1 to MacTCP 2.0.6 this summer. This is the newest version of MacTCP which can be used with all existing versions of the MacOS. (However, it cannot be used with Power Macintosh 9500 and other PCI based Macintosh computers.)
8 Newer than PC Pine 3.8.9 we distributed up till this summer. UTORlogin uses UNIX Pine 3.9.1
