If a student does not wish to purchase a network card, the college will provide the digital equivalent of a serial modem which connects to our phone system. Generally, the rooms are provided with digital connections, and an ordinary analog modem will not work.
Exceptions are some off-campus housing.
A student's computer must have an available serial port. If the computer comes with a modem card, the student may have to be disable or remove it before connecting to the Dickinson system. For those students living in campus housing, but having an analog phone in their room, a modem will be provided free of charge. Students living off campus are responsible for providing their own modems for connection to the Dickinson system. Terminal emulation DEC VT100 or better.
