  DUNDALK, MD - Students and teachers at Logan Elementary School in 
  Dundalk are launching a new school year with state-of-the-art 
  {....}
       
  During the three-year project, Bell Atlantic and the other 
  participants are providing 180 personal computers for use by the 
  school's third, fourth and fifth grade students, their teachers and 
  selected administrators.  These computers are connected to a local 
  area network (LAN) located at the school that will give users access 
  to the Internet, electronic mail and other services.  Three Bell 
  Atlantic technicians also are assigned to support the project.
       
  About 100 computers already have been installed  in the homes of 
  Logan's 1996-1997 third-grade class.  These computers are linked to 
  the school and to each other through Bell Atlantic's ISDN (Integrated 
  Services Digital Network) technology with full access to the LAN and 
  its capabilities.  
       
  Computers were purchased by Bell Atlantic and donated to the Baltimore 
  County Public School System.  There is no charge to students for the 
  PCs or telecommunications services.
