The main benefit of theLinq is that it will allow your school to become
an internet server for your entire classroom or school. You are right
about the bugs that it has but they are working on it. Also, you are
right about the 24 hour delay.
The reason I purchased theLinq for my school was because I needed to find
a way to teach telecommunications to an entire class (50 stations). The
cost of internet access @ 20.00 per month per station for an internet
account (not to mention the cost of leasing the T1 Line) would have cost
our school mant thousands of dollars each year. At least this way, you
pay the fee up front and then only pay 20 cents per user per month for 10
months (July and August are free). That comes out to about $200 per year
for 200 users.
Its still not perfect, but it still is the least expensive way to get a
large group of people on the net simultaneously.
