I just got back from my honeymoon. I was on Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas. There is in-room 56k modem access. I did not look into the fees. They also have a "business" center that has computers that can be used at 50c/min that are connected to the outside world.
Telephone calls to shore are a killer: 8$/min!
In jamaica, and grand cayman there were internet cafes.
I was on my honeymoon, so I did not so much as even think about touching a keyboard.
I am sure that somewhere in the university there is a disgruntled, or ignorant employee that is more than willing to have private discussions with the BSA regarding the software that they and everyone else uses.
Once armed with the conversations with "Insiders" then the BSA has a leg to stand on to get in with the law enforcement types and really force you to do things.
Oh, and so far as them requiring audit software on your computer... NO WAY can they do this! They would have to take you to court, sue you and win with some of the terms being software licensing monitoring.
They tried to force the company my mom worked at to do this. She called me, and we went ahead and just removed MS office from every machine and installed StarOffice.
Followed by a nice letter to the BSA and MS saying that they are going to go open source now b/c of the BS of the BSA

Think about it... you told your employer that you were going to leave.
The counter offer you to keep your position filled.
They now can search for your replacement, because they know you are no longer a loyal employee.
They find a replacement and fire you because you are not a loyal employee.
You now have no offer...
just my 10cents.
Besides, if the companuy you are so in love with was off by 50% in salary, then they were screwing you anyway...
