Southwest Computer Literacy Project

How much will it cost?

The initial cost to set up and implement the URBANLINK network is expected to be very low. The bulk of the start-up costs for this proposed system will be paid by the church that initiates the establishment of the network. These costs will include the purchase of a server, and the associated network software that is required to install and operate the required web applications on the server. As the total number of users increases and the needs of our users become more sophisticated, the cost of maintaining such a system will grow as well.

The minimum amount of computer hardware that a particular church will need to participate in this project is:

- a PC with a 486 or pentium processor/ multi media capable/ 16 Mhz of RAM
- high speed modem 14,400 bps (or faster)
- a telephone line
- access to the internet via an internet service provider
- a printer
The minimum amount of computer software that a particular church will need to participate in this project is:

- Windows Operating System (3.1, WIN 95, WIN 98, or WIN 2000)

- An internet browser (Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator /Communicator)
