  Ah but, this is a "prime the pump exercise"  NOW everyone will NEED a 
  special ISDN link to the schools lan and THEN through the internet, (note 
  not the other way around)  IN two years when teh scoll is sold on the 
  idea, BA will be happy to sell you the package, (perhaps complete with a 
  Packard-bell or other "fine" computer made to BA specs)
