[1] No external Internet. No Mail. You can check your uni email via Safari (internal network, the intranet).
[2] See above. No Mail. No Internet. No IMAP.
[3] If you have a laptop, and you are on the USYD wireless network then (without Cisco VPN) you will be directed to
Welcome to IT Assist - ITassist - The University of Sydney whenever you try to go anywhere. This is the same thing that hapens on the iPhone and iPod touch. No library website, as far as I remember.
[4] No Internet.
It is pointless for you to get an iPhone or iPod touch, if you wish to:
a) Use Mail.
b) Use the Internet.
c) Use the library website.
The ONLY thing you can do, even with the 2.0 software (from my tests) is connect and obtain an IP address. You are prompted for your UniKey login/password however you do not use the cache/proxy and yes, I have funds in my account and it isn't locked.
I was hoping it would work with the iPhone 3G and 2.0 firmware, but in my testing, it is as crippled (and similar to) not having the Cisco VPN software on a laptop. No Blackboard, No WebCT either.
