Are the RJ-45 connectors in the network connections?  They've been there a LONG 
time (15+ years at least).  I thought they were serial connections to the 
campus computer.

I definitely do not want to risk my built-in network adapter on my notebook on 
something that might have the wrong voltages.

I've used the campus wireless network, but it's been at least a year, maybe 
two.  The last time I used it, I needed to download a copy of firefox.  Dialup 
would have been faster.  It kept dropping the connection.  Web pages download 
just fine though.

At the time, it required that I create an account and login with it to enable 
internet access.  I don't recall if it even required an E-mail address at that 
time (like how would you access the E-mail account for account info if you 
didn't have access to the internet).
