In an effort to make your stay as convenient as possible, we have installed a dedicated Internet connection (DSL), which you may access via an Internet Appliance created by 3Com - The Audrey.

The Audrey is not a desktop computer, but will allow you to browse the network, check a calendar and check your email. Unfortunately, 3Com has discontinued the production of this product, so the Channels feature (selected by the big round dial at the bottom of the display screen), does not work.

More information for these components is listed below:

  • 3Com's Ergo Audrey (This interface).
  • Sprint's FastConnect DSL


    3Com's Ergo Audrey

    Audrey's web browser supports:

    • HTML 3.2
    • Flash 4
    • Real Audio
    • Real Player G2 version 4.0
    • Java Script 1.1
    • SSL (Secure Socket Layer) 128 bit Encryption - for secure online transactions

    The address book will store all the bookmarks (favorite sites marked) that are entered or chosen.

    Audrey's web browser does not support file download features because there is no hard drive to store large amounts of data. There will be no response from Audrey if you tap a download feature on a web page.

    If Audrey encounters an unsupported or incompatible file or format, the following will be displayed:

    This web site contains content which Audrey does not currently support.

    Some web sites require Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator for viewing all their functions and features. When those sites detect a different browser, the page will not display or will prompt the download of one of the listed browsers. Audrey displays no message or acknowledgement of any problem with these sites.

    Audrey terminates analog web browser connections automatically when no activity occurs for a 15-minute period. Inactivity means that Audrey is not surfing the web, playing streaming audio files, or interacting on the web. This automatic timeout of 15 minutes cannot be changed.


    Sprint's FastConnect DSL

    Sprint DSL features:

  • Downloads up to 1.5 Mbps
    (up to 18x faster than dial-up modems)
  • Always On Connection

    Sprint FastConnect provides a dedicated connection, not a shared connection like a cable modem. With a shared connection you have no control over how many users share your connection or have access to your data. As the number of people using the cable line go up, your access speed goes down. With a Sprint FastConnect dedicated line, you have the control.
