Local area network expansion at WITS
Abstract
With the rapid development of computer technology, new and sophisticated facilities become available every few months. The skill of planning expansion or development lies in choosing the innovations that can be far reaching and support future new technology. Akeroyd (1991), Van Brakel (1991, 1993) and many others have reviewed CDROM networking technology. The expansion presented in this paper describes conversion to a 10baseT network incorporating both mainframe terminals and PCs on the LAN (local area network). It will be seen that the chosen route is cost‐effective and advantageous to academic staff and students. It is also a lot more convenient as far as library staff are concerned.
