The MSU Computer Laboratory is pleased to announce a new service for dial-up access. The new service provides the same service (speed and features) as our existing dial-up access in East Lansing, on the phone number (517) 432-7200. Both services are part of the MichNet dial-in service; see "MichNet Dial-In Connections" for more details.
The new dial-up service has the advantage of allowing MSU to provide local dial-up access numbers in various locations within South Central Michigan, all of which connect back to East Lansing with no long distance charges. Also, by connecting back to East Lansing, you will generally avoid the need for a dial-up usage "token", which is often required for the existing non-Lansing MichNet numbers. The numbers to call, by exchange:
