Internet connections: Using dial-up
On this page:
Overview
Dial-up networking refers to the use of a modem and a telephone line to connect your computer to a larger network (e.g., the IU network). At IU, dial-up networking is one way to connect to the IU network from off campus. You can also reach the Internet and the IU network from off campus by using another Internet service provider (ISP). For more, see Finding an Internet service provider.
Configuring your computer
The PPP Wizard or the "Connect to IU" software (available from IUware) will configure your Windows computer automatically to make a modem connection. Instructions on how to do this manually for Windows and Mac OS X are available below:
