[Acm-announce] ACM network - Policy Changes, New Announcements

[Walter Dworak]

Due to some network changes, the MAC address whitelist has been cleared 
out. This means that some people that had access to the ACM network no 
longer do. We are working on getting valid entries re-added to the new 
whitelist, but it is possible your machines entry will be missed or not 
added due to the reason listed below.

As part of a new policy only ACM members will get access to the ACM 
network, as machine registration is now directly linked to your ACM 
account. Guests will retain the ability to gain access temporarily for 
events or other special purposes. Registration is done in person at the 
ACM office.

For some good news, the ACM now has a wireless network for members use. 
Members with registered devices will be able to access the network using 
their ACM account name and password. Platform specific instructions are 
located at acm.cs.uic.edu/wireless.
