to modify the Acceptable Use Policy at any time. Any
modifications to this policy will be dated
appropriately. MSIS also reserves the right to limit
or discontinue any Internet service which may
compromise network integrity at any time for any
reason.
-
An MSIS account is
personal and private and therefore does not extend
to any other person, corporation, or entity.

An MSIS account is
non-transferable. Login names and passwords are not
to be shared with outside parties.

No more than one dial-up
connection can be used at any time for each PPP
login account. If, at any time, more than one
instance of an account is found, the account will be
suspended immediately for security reasons.
-
An account does not
constitute a dedicated connection. An inactivity
time-out of thirty minutes has been engineered in
the PPP daemon to ensure fair access to all
customers. Any attempt to bypass such measures is a
breach of this policy; examples of such measures
are: ping daemons, IRC, and mail bots.

Any attempt to violate
the security, stability or integrity of any MSIS
server is strictly prohibited.

The use of any NNTP

responsible for a basic working knowledge of his/her
