    Through assistance provided by SAF, and co-funding donations by theJephcott Charitable Trust ($14,200), and the Reuters Foundation($11,600), two fully equipped computer labs with Internet access havebeen set up at Tehran Medical School, Iran's oldest medical school withover 4,000 students. The project was completed in December 2000. Theprovided equipment includes:

    • 1 Cisco 2610 router

    • 2 Pentium III-600 workstations with 20 GB HDD and 64 MBRAM
    • 12 Pentium III-550 workstations with 15 GB HDD and 64MB RAM
    • 2 HP 2100 laser printers
    • 2 Genius color scanners

    These have been used to equip two computer rooms, each with sixworkstations, a laser printer, and a scanner. The rooms are exclusivelyfor use by medical students, and are most often used for Internetaccess. Each student is allowed to use the systems for one hour a day,and usage centers mainly around accessing up-to-date scientificinformation on the web.
