Typically, this means a T1, DSL line or something equivalent. The stronger the connection to the Internet the schools have, the more students can use the system at the same time.   Each student requires about 1KB/Sec (10Kb/Sec) of bandwidth to test.  Our experience suggests that the number of students a full T1 line can support will vary greatly depending on the amount of other traffic using the connection. Fractional T1 lines can range from 7 simultaneous students to 120 depending on the speed.  Schools that share a single phone modem for all Internet activity are not suitable for more than a few students at time.       Internet Browser Requirements   Every Macintosh or Windows computer to be used for testing must be connected to the Internet and must have one of the Internet browsers listed below. Here are the guidelines: A solid Internet connection, such as a T1 line, DSL, etc. Internet Explorer(version 4.01 or newer) or Netscape Navigator (version 4.x or newer)* A Windows PC (Pentium 16MB RAM) or a Power Macintosh (24MB RAM)   JavaScript and cookies must be enabled (default browser option).   Computer must display at least 256 colors and have a minimum 640 by 480 resolution screen.   Some administration features require a more recent browser.   We reserve the right to increase the computer requirements for all new revisions.
