Editing Dartmouth BASIC (section)

===Expanding user base===
A review in 1968 noted that 80% of the students and 70% of the faculty was making some use of the system. Hundreds of terminals were spread across the campus, from the hospital to the business school. 57% of the CPU time was used for coursework, 16% for research, and the remaining 27% for "recreational use"; Dartmouth actively encouraged users to play games as a way to get hands-on use and overcome fear of the computer.{{sfn|Kiewit|1971|p=17}}

Beginning with another NSF grant, in 1967 Dartmouth also began placing terminals in off-campus locations, including high schools in the area. In terms of user counts, these terminals hosted 69% of the total users, although they used a smaller amount of computer time.{{sfn|Kiewit|1971|p=17}} By 1971 there were 79 remote terminals, as far away as [[New Jersey]] and [[Bangor, Maine]]. These were supported by [[multiplexer]] systems that allowed up to 12 terminals to be supported over a single voice-grade telephone line. Additionally, a number of these lines were available for dial-up use with a [[modem]].{{sfn|Kiewit|1971|p=18}}
