DIALUPS

(This document was last modified on September  10, 1997.)

                         NOTICE:
The dialups, a limited resource, have been busy frequently.
			Therefore:
Do NOT play games when logged in via modem. Class accounts
may not use dialups to telnet to other hosts. If you are found 
doing the above then you will be warned. If it happens again 
your modem privileges will be removed for two weeks. Further
violations may result in total loss of dialup privileges. 

Any non-mathematical use of the computers that interferes 
with department work is prohibited.  Please read the Department 
policy in "/depot/documentation/admin/policy.ascii" or at the 
Uniform Resource Locator 
http://www.math.ufl.edu/help/policy.ascii.

Please report modem problems to consult@math.ufl.edu. Please be
sure to give a full explanation of the problem.

Thanks!

DIALUP(LOCAL)     MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES      DIALUP(LOCAL)



NAME
     dialup - UF Mathematics Department Dialup Users Guide

DESCRIPTION
     This is a local guide  for  dialup  users  of  the  UF  Math
     Department's  Local  Area Network (LAN).  It is intended for
     users previously experienced with dialup (modem) telecommun-
     ication.

PARAMETERS
     The current modem configuration for the Math Department is a
     Telebit  Netblazer  with  9 dialup lines. All of these lines
     have 14.4k baud modems attached. For most effective  use  of
     these  lines your settings should be 8 data bits, no parity,
     1 stop bit. If your modem is 14.4k baud then please set your
     speed  to  19200,  or 38400 (some support 57600) as you will
     need a faster speed for data compression. If  you  modem  is
     9600  baud  you may want to use 19200 baud. Please use vt100
     as your terminal type.

MODEM NUMBERS
     392-7421   392-7422   392-7423   392-7424   392-7425

     All the lines are on a rotary.  Dial the first number, and a
     unconnected modem will pick up.

     You may wish to connect to the CIRCA VAXen 
     (8N1 at  14.4k  baud) and then ``telnet'' to the the Math depart-
     ment by typing ``telnet node.math.ufl.edu''  where  ``node''
     could be any of the Math Sun names. Call 392-help to get
     the VAXen dialin number.   

LOGIN
     The Mathematics Department  machines  autodetect  your  baud
     rate  and  will try to connect at the highest baud rate that
     you can manage. Login as normal when you  see  the  "login:"
     prompt.

FILE TRANSFER
     The Math machines support the standard Zmodem (sz/rz),  Ymo-
     dem  (sb/rb), Xmodem (sx/rx), and Kermit (kermit) protocols.
     If you are using zmodem on a high speed modem,  it  is  sug-
     gested you use "sz -w 2048". If you are receiving UNIX files
     on a MS-DOS machine and using zmodem, use the -a  parameter.
     For more information please see the following man pages:

SEE ALSO
     sz(1), xmodem(1), kermit(1), rlogin(1), telnet(1)

BUGS
     Sometimes modems get confused or otherwise dysfunctional. If
     this  happens, try a higher number in the rotary to skip the
     dysfunctional one. If  a  modem  is  dysfunctional  and  not
     answering  it  may  seem that all the lines are not working.
     This is normaly not the case, as you are  being  rotored  to
     the  unused  modem,  the one that does not work. Try dialing
     other numbers.

     Please send bug reports to  consult@math.ufl.edu  via  elec-
     tronic mail.
