Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) offers dial-in access
to various Miami University computing resources as follows:
 
     *  Access to the 14.4 modem pool continues to be available through
        529-4999 (40 modems) and 529-2161 (16 modems).
 
        Access to the 2400 modem pool (8 modems) continues to be available
        through 529-6114.
 
        Access to the 1200 modem pool through 529-5777 will be discontiued
        effective 20 March 1995 (Monday).  Clients requiring access at
        1200 baud should begin using 529-6114 immediately.
 
        The total number of modems available is presently and will remain
        64 for the short-term, while MCIS actively explores further
        expansion of its dial-in capacity.  It is unlikely this capacity
        can be increased before summer.
 
     *  The 529-4999 and 529-2161 numbers connect to the Gandalf data
        switch and generate the ENTER CLASS: prompt.  At this prompt,
        the following will be valid options from 1 March:
 
        For:                                     Type at ENTER CLASS:
 
        MiamiLINK                                MLINK
          Miami University Libraries'
          Information Network
 
        MiamiU                                   MiamiU
          IBM/VM CMS system in Oxford        or  A
 
        MiaVX1                                   MiaVX1
          DEC OpenVMS system in Oxford       or  V1
 
     *  Access to the Talawanda Learning Community Network (TLCNet)
        is changing as follows:
 
        Effective 15 Feb 1995 (Wed), TLCNet will become accessible
        via a new, separate and dedicated phone number:
        529-6757
 
        Effective 15 May 1995 (Mon), TLCNet will no longer be accessible
        via the Gandalf data switch at 529-4999, 529-2161 and 529-6114
        Entering TLCNet at the ENTER CLASS prompt will result in an
        informational message listing TLCNet's new dedicated number:
        529-6757
 
        This change should result in improved access for Miami and
        TLCNet clients, as it will remove competition for access to
        the same modem pool.
