Getting Connected to the Sitterson Network

Remote Connection Services provided by CS

The department has a single CS dial-in line available for use. The service offers full 56k support and utilizes Windows authentication, so your CS Windows username and password is required to connect. Since this is a true single user connection, we ask that you limit your connection time to 10-15 minutes to allow other users to access the service.

Here's instructions on dialup with various operating systems. The local access number for the new dial-up service is (919) 962-5816.

• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• WindowsNT
• Windows95
• It's not really useful now, but we have some information on writing scripts for use with dialup under NT/95.
• MacOS
• RedHat Linux 7.2
