Dial-Up Instructions

Dial-up instructions are for off-campus users only. On-campus users should have an ethernet card.

NOTICE: Windows NT 4.0 is an advanced operating system, and beginning users may experience extremely adverse functioning.  These instructions are very rudimentary, and should be used only if you are very comfortable in the Windows NT 4.0 operating environment.  If you are not comfortable with this operating system, we suggest the installation or upgrade of your system to use Windows 2000 or ME (Millennium Edition)
