>     BUSINESS
>          Incoming University of Delaware students are
>     immediately introduced to the Internet and the World
>     Wide Web as a means for conducting routine campus
>     business. They use secure Web browsers to confirm
>     addresses, search course requirements, print schedules,
>     access grade reports and financial aid information, and
>     print transcripts and student bills using Web browsers
>     at home, in residence halls, in computer labs, and from
>     touch-screen kiosks. Proxy servers package data for the
>     Web from existing COBOL programs. Other administrative
>     systems being reworked for secure Web access this fall
>     include a campuswide electronic forms system, employee
>     access to personnel records, and the merging of student
>     information with ID photograph images. For demonstration

These guys are in process of building a complete campus wide (secure -
encrypted data streams and forms) IT system using Netscape clients and
secure Mcom httpd server AND retro-fitting their existing terminal based
systems into html proxy services.
 
Commercial vendors please take note on what's happening here.  This could be
your future customer demand!
 
Has anyone ported the Mcom server to a 3k?
