College, Montshire Museum help Upper Valley get on line

By Anne Renna | October 6, 1994

The Upper Valley will soon be connected to the Internet as a result of the combined efforts of the Montshire Museum of Science and Dartmouth's Computing Services. For the last six months, John Hawkins, director of community computing at the College, has been working to establish ValleyNet, a computer network that will be operated and managed by the Montshire Museum. Individual households will pay approximately $15 per month for unlimited access to public information -- such as Dartmouth College Information Services and electronic mail -- as well as the variety of offerings across the Internet "We're encouraging schools, non-profit social service agencies and town governments to get accounts, and we're sort of underwriting the cost by charging businesses somewhat more," Hawkins explained. The Montshire Museum, located in Norwich, Vt., is counting on volunteers from the community to help keep its costs down. "So far support from the community has been strong," said Alex Dohan, administrative coordinator of ValleyNet.
