Two U-M Alumni Accounts Available

MEAM alumni interested in U-M computing services may want to investigate options available through the U-M's Computer Aided Engineering Network (CAEN) and U-M Online.
CAEN offers alumni accounts on a fee-for-service basis for CoE alumni. A paid alumni account offers login privileges to a Sun workstation, 20 MB of online AFS file storage space, which can accommodate your World Wide Web (WWW) home page; and full, unlimited Internet access, including e-mail, Usenet news, browser software for "surfing the Web," and online help.
Cost for an alumni account is $18 per month for unlimited access, with a minimum of four months required. For more information, please call CAEN at (734) 763-3266, send e-mail to caen-alumni@engin.umich.edu, or visit the CAEN Web page at www.engin.umich.edu/caen/.
U-M Online, a subscription service offered through the U-M Information Technology Division (ITD), has two packages for U-M alumni and their spouses. The Maize Package ($13.60/month) is available to alumni in Michigan, New York City, and Washington, D.C., and includes a base of 20 hours on-line each month through a MichNet NAS modem connection with additional hours billed at low rates. The Blue Package ($8.10/month) includes no dial-in service in the base price but alumni can use the national dial-in service offered by the U-M. Dial-in charges will be billed as an additional charge based on actual usage. Both packages offer a variety of software, e-mail, Netscape browser for WWW access, 5 MB of online AFS file storage space, which can serve your home page; online help; online conferences; and special Web content not available to the general public.
