No, it's not a spelling error.
Say 'Maiden Britain' out loud
and you'll get part of the
message. The other part,
London Branch's Heather
Armstrong (left) tells us, is that
a three-woman team will be
motorbike racing for cancer
research against an
experienced, all-male field of
39 other teams. Again, 'race'
needs a bit of clarification.
We're talking a gruelling six-
hour endurance test here that
Heather and her two co-bikers,
Claire Raikes of BFP and
Sarah Keil of Daytona
Motorcycles, describe as
starting out as a 'giggle'. 'This
is the first time any of us have
ever done anything on this
scale for charity,' Heather says.
'It's also the first time any of us
have raced a motorbike. So to
say the project is 'interesting'
would be an understatement of
mammoth proportions.'
What started as a giggle has
taken on proportions of its
own. The women have
managed to drum up
considerable corporate
sponsorship, not least from
their employers. 'We're
delighted that the bank has
made a donation to our fund.'
But they want to raise as much
money as they can for cancer
research, so Maiden Britain is
still looking for sponsors -
their debut on September 8 is
only the start. Come on,
network, how about it?

international Communications
for this month'sjargonese - see
also pages 4 and 5.
Remote access you are in
Santiago de Chile and you
need information or
applications in your regional
computer centre's system,
which in this case is New York.
A remote access facility allows
you to get what you need.
There are two other regional
centres - Singapore and
Utrecht.
Roll out means
implementation, ie. that an
office can use all available
facilities, such as e-mail,file
transfer and remote access. Full
roll out is when all offices are
connected.
Live when installation and
implementation is completed
and the link works, then the
office has gone 'live'.
Encryption the encoding of
data so that it is secure and
cannot be read by anyone
without the right authorization.
Hacker someone who accesses
data illegally.
Fire wall part of the
securitization process to
prevent illegal access.
Gate checks same as fire wall.
Virtual circuit our own private
line for Communications. It is
part of a huge cable and is
rented only by us.
Band width the size of the
virtual circuit we rent.This can
differ according to the volume
of Communications needs. For
example, New York will have a
greater band width than
Wagga Wagga in Australia.
Functionalities applications
that can be installed on the
network, eg. e-mail, file transfer,
remote access, and video
conferencing (slated for next
year).
