I'm afraid I have to stomp on most of this. Network access is a privilege,
not a right, like the privilege of driving a car. If your school says ``you
can't use our computers anymore,'' you don't have any legal recourse
(unless you're still a student and require the use of the computers for
coursework). So, if you get kicked off, take it gracefully, and find a
local public access Unix provider. Or make yourself indespensible to the
sysadmins so they keep your account active (it's working for me :).
