University Park Modem Pool Lines Scheduled to be Reduced

Last updated on March 25, 2009 at 8:55AM

On July 1, 2009, during the regularly scheduled maintenance window (5:00-7:00 a.m.), Information Technology Services (ITS) will reduce the number of active dial-in lines for the University Park 814-863/865-2222 modem pool. The July 2009 reduction is in preparation for this modem pool's complete termination, scheduled for July 1, 2010. While dial-up modems are still provided to the Penn State community as an option for Internet connectivity, the use of such modems has decreased steadily over the last few years. Given this trend, modem users are strongly encouraged to transition to alternative Internet connectivity options (for example, AOL, Netzero, Verizon's DSL service, or Comcast's cable modem service) prior to July 1, 2010.

To learn more about this initiative (including instructions, troubleshooting information, and alternative options), please visit the ITS Knowledge Base at http://kb.its.psu.edu/. Additional information about the University's dial-up modem services is available at http://css.its.psu.edu/internet/dialup/. Inquiries and requests for assistance should be directed to helpdesk@psu.edu.

For more information, please contact ITS Help Desk staff (helpdesk@psu.edu).
