In order to ensure fair sharing of the dial-up resources, ITSC has implemented a time quote system on ALL THE K56Flex modem pools (29330800 and 29330900) starting from Monday, 14 September 1998. Below are the highlights of this scheme :

1. The scheme DOES NOT apply to the current X2 56K modem pools (29330633 and 29330733) until further notice.
2. You are assigned with a weekly time quota under this scheme. The estimation is based on the data recorded by the system. The quota time will be reset to its default value on each Monday at 4am. Any unused quota time will be cleared at the end of the week. But the overdrawn quota time will be deducted on the following week.
3. When your dial-up quota is reached, you will not be allowed to make a connection to the K56Flex modem pools again during that week. You will have to either use the X2 56K modem pools or apply for an additional quota on the K56Flex modem pools.
4. If you find the default quota inadequate, you can apply for an increase online. Application will be granted with proper justification.
5. You can also enquire about your time quota balance of the current and the last week through Accounts Information Management System.
6. Multiple logins are prohibited by the system to prevent the abuse of dial-up service by non-CUHK members.

The above scheme is kept under review on a regular basis. All the latest information on it can be found at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/itsc/network/dialup/quota.
