We are offering a PPP service for academic or college business purposes for personally owned home computers. Because a PPP modem connection typically requires a more involved setup than a simple modem connection, and because the duration of the modem connection is typically much longer than a simple modem connection, we offer this service on a limited basis. What we have found is that we can provide this service on a limited support basis only.
Support is provided via online documentation only.
However, we have also found that most individuals trying this service in this way are successful. Because a PPP service puts more demand on the college resources, the service is offered for professional academic or college business purposes only. In general, this means that faculty and some staff with special business requirements are eligible. For staff who wish to use this for college purposes, the request will also need to come from your supervisor stating the college business reason for your needing this kind of connection to the system instead of a more traditional login. PPP accounts are not set up with any regularity.
