Does CSUEB offer a dial-up connection (CISCO account)?
Yes. To apply for a campus dial-up account (also called a CISCO account), submit a request to the campus Help Desk at http://helpdesk.csueastbay.edu. When the account is ready, you will receive an email message with your user name, password, dial-up phone number, and instructions. The CISCO dial-up number is 510-885-7211. Note that the dial-up phone number is a local call to the campus. If you call from outside the local dialing area, then you will be responsible for phone charges. If you expect to call the campus frequently from outside the local dialing area, your phone company might be able to extend your local dialing area for a flat monthly fee. Change your CISCO dial-up password at http://charon.csueastbay.edu To use your CISCO dial-up account, create a dial-up as you would for any ISP. Here are some step-by-step instructions for creating a dial-up in Windows XP. Other versions of Windows will be slightly different, but similar: • From My Network Places, choose Add Network Place.
