This is going to be a very serious problem unless we can find a solution =
(if there is a solution). Of the top 20 domains, at least 14 are .edu =
(possibly as high as 17). Those 14 domains contain about 61-62% of the =
total DESCHALL clients. Since it is impossible to stop students from =
coming home from school, we must either make an effort to get lab =
computers involved or get more .com and .net domains, or both.
