Remote Access Modem Pools
 UNET

To check the current utilization of these modem pools go to our Modem Explorer web page.
To check your usage of the modem pools go to our Dialup web page.
If you are using a software package that emulates a dumb terminal, after
dialing one of the numbers above, you must first put in your username and password, after
that you will be at the terminal server prompt. From the terminal server prompt you can
telnet directly to any internet address in the world.
When you are finished with your telnet session, logout as you would
normally, and at the terminal server prompt type "QUIT". It is important that
you type "QUIT" to drop your connection, simply logging out of your session will
not drop your connection but return you to the terminal server prompt.
If you wish to use SLIP to have your machine be a remote internet node,
you must again log in using your username and password, at the terminal server prompt you
must type the command: SLIP. At that point your are ready to have your software perform a
bootp. One of the most difficult things about using SLIP is to develop an dialing script
that automatically does all this for you and give your modem the proper setup string
.
These modems are especially busy during the academic year so please
remember to logout when you no longer need your connection. To enforce this a timeout has
been set on the modems so that any user who is idle for more than 10 minutes at a terminal
server prompt, will be dropped. Also, a session timeout of 12 hours has also been
implemented to help prevent a hung session from tying up a modem for days.
If you experience any problems with connecting to these modem groups,
including needing assistance with setting up your software or modem, please call UNET
at 561-3587. Portland users can call UNET in Portland at 780-4235.
