The University Computing Center provides computing services to the
entire campus for use by the administration, for instruction, and for
research. It also provides assistance to users in configuring,
installing and using microcomputers.
The Computing Center has only recently installed the IBM 3033 and two
VAX-11/780's. We are running 4.2bsd on one of the VAX-780s in support
of the Math/Computer Science program.
There are also some interesting network connections in place, as well
as some plans of considerable potential. The two vax's are connected
using uucp (by running Eunice on the VMS/VAX). The UNIX vax (emoryu1)
talks to the IBM using UREP from Penn State. The VMS vax (emorycc)
talks to the IBM (emuvm1) using Software Results' Comboard. The VMS vax
also talks to a vax (cdb) in the clinic using DECNET, and to a VAX at
the Atlanta Cancer Surveillance Center using VAXNET. Both vax's talk to
the Math/CS vax (node emory) via uucp. Access to usenet is through the
CS vax. We have purchased a campus wide JNET license as well.
In addition, there is a one megabit coax link between the computing
center's unix vax and the computer science vax. This link is driven by
DMR-11s, and allows use of the "remote" unix commands (rlogin, etc) on
these two machines.
The university is currently conducting a broadband study with an eye to
networking the entire campus. There are at least 200 IBM PCs and XTs
already on campus, as well as other types of micros, that could
potentially connect to the network along with the above mentioned
mainframes and other vaxes and minicomputers. We expect to install a
computing center supported microlab, with the micros connected via a
local area network that could connect to the broadband and communicate
with other compatible LAN's on campus.
This position is part of User Services. The person in this position
will have an opportunity to experience the pleasure of successfully
explaining how to use computers and software in a manner which is
clear and interesting to read. This is also an opportunity to get into
the world of data processing and learn a lot about some of the more
popular copmputing systems.
Anyone with questions about this position is welcome to give me a call
or send me a message. However, to apply you will have to contact the
personnel department as indicated in the ad at the beginning.
