We have many students asking "can I have the Internet?" My response
is usually why does suffering from dyslexia necessitate that you
have access to the Internet?

Here we have five Connevens personal loop systems that may be
borrowed by students who do not have their own systems, or are
waiting for one from the DSAs.
