Most modems come with a dialup software package, also known as terminal emulation software.
This kind of connection to the VAX cluster does not require you to have a local Internet Service Provider. You just need to have a modem with your computer and software installed to dial out. Windows 95 comes with HyperTerminal, terminal emulation software that is already part of the system. Be advised that if you want to access the VAX from outside of the 414 area code, you will be charged long-distance rates for dialing into the VAX cluster. To access the VAX via dialup, launch your terminal emulation program.
