Hi! Just a question: does the University offer any kind of dial-ip service, free or not, to connect my computer to internet? I'm off campus. I 'll appreciate your information.

If they already have Cox or Comcast, and want the dialup service to use during travel, both providers have a program so that you can dial up locally wherever you go in the states. I don't know if this is the issue or not, but, if so, just poke around on your providers site to see what is what.

If you have DakotaCom DSL service they too provide a nationwide toll free number for dial-up access.
