Can any of you netters out there give me some information about unet access from either the University of California@Berkeley or the University of California@San Francisco. I have an old friend how is working on a PhD. in Medical Anthropology. It is a joint program offered by UCB and UCSF. She has a Macintosh and a modem, but the modem is not being used. How does she gain access to a mainframe (here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada we have a home-grown piece of Software called "MacTie" which allows Macintosh users to access the university's mainframe from their Macs. Is their any software which "ties" the Macs into the mainframe? I know it must seem strange for someone from Edmonton to be asking these mundane questions she should be asking herself at school, but she's busy trying to maintain her sanity right now (she's IN graduate school, let's remember). Any info at all would greatly appreciated.....the 2 hour phone calls are geting expensive for us both. Actually, I guess I am asking about e-mail access more than unet access, but at the U of A they're integrated.
