Dial In Access Accounts or PPP Account
A PPP
(Point-to-Point Protocol) account is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
account, just like AOL or AT&T Broadband. This is a free service
provided by the University, to current students, faculty and
staff.
Users will want
to select a number to the PPP Server that is local call from where they
are. Your username will be your Firstname_Lastname (i.e. John
Smith = John_Smith). For students, this account will remain active
until you graduate and indefinitely for staff/faculty members. The
PPP Server numbers and locations are:
