My daughter has been going to UMCP for two years. The dorms are wired for direct Network connections via 10-Base-T (RJ-45) connection. You don't need PPP or dial-up; an NE-2000 net card or similar with RJ-45 connector will do the job. You already have (or can get) a fixed IP address and all other info. Call the CSC building for details. Ken
