Principia College installed a ReLANpro system last summer and we have been
using it during fall quarter 2005. We chose it largely because we wanted a
LAN-based lab rather than a proprietary "hybrid" (hardware-software)
system, and the windows-like interface appealed to the faculty as it seemed
easy to understand, learn and use. We looked at all the options, and this
one met our needs best especially as the cost was more reasonable than most
other choices. All of our language teachers have been using it. We have
been very satisfied with its performance and with the support provided as
we have worked through the installation and initial use. It will definitely
give us the functions we were expecting as we continue to plan to integrate
its use across the various levels and courses of our program. We are using
it as both a teaching lab and a library lab for class assignments where
students call up the files or programs they need (text-support or other
commercial materials, or faculty produced).

I'll provide you with more detail off list and would be happy to do the
same for any others interested, or answer any questions.
