Note: NACS no longer sells the Internet Application CD. You can still download current software from the Macintosh and PC archives.
For users of UCI network resources from off campus, NACS has developed the UCI Internet Applications CD. A successor to the former Anteater Access Toolkits (MAAT and WAAT), this CD collects into one place “the usual suspects” of Internet client applications, both free and those site-licensed for UC Irvine.
Instead of burning up their online time, slowly downloading internet utility software, UCI faculty, staff, and students can use this CD to install everything they need. While users of UCI’s Lifeline Modem Service will find this CD particularly useful, the programs on it are of value to anyone in the UCI community who uses the Internet.
The CD is available from NACS’ Response Center and the UCI Bookstore, for $10.00 each. Please beware, some of the software included is licensed for use by UCI faculty, staff and students only. Also, new versions of some of this software are released frequently. Users who want the very latest versions are advised to download copies.
For a full listing of included software and a FAQ, please see: http://www.nacs.uci.edu/computing/softwarecd.html
