Announcing the Connecting@Berkeley (C@B) 2004 CD

August 21, 2003

The Connecting@Berkeley service team, IST–WSS

The Connecting@Berkeley service team is proud to announce the C@B 2004 CD. The C@B CD is the easiest way for students, faculty, and staff of the University of California, Berkeley, to connect to the Internet (see the Connecting@Berkeley website [C@B, http://cab.berkeley.edu/]). Now in its sixth year of production, the newest Connecting@Berkeley CD improves on the best-in-class Connecting@Berkeley 2003 CD by offering updated software and new features, including:

• Current versions of antivirus software for both Windows and Mac OS.
• Automatic browser configuration for the Library Proxy Server Service, allowing you to access all library services from a computer with an off-campus connection. (See The UC Berkeley Library proxy service in iNews.)
• Support for the SecureLink pilot service, allowing secure transfer of email to and from UCLink. (See SecureLink pilot in the Spring 2003 issue of BC&C.)
• Greatly simplified instructions.

The Connecting@Berkeley 2004 CD remains the easiest way to configure your connection to the Internet through UC Berkeley, as well as the most convenient way to get the programs you'll need to use that connection. You can even install the software on the C@B 2004 CD right over the C@B software from previous years, and your programs will be updated while your settings are preserved.

If you would like to promote the Connecting@Berkeley CD in your office or campus department, the Connecting@Berkeley Team has posters and bookmarks available for promotional purposes. If you would like these promotional materials, please send email to
