Access account
As soon as possible, go to the computer lab in W-305, and ask for an Access
account. You'll be given an email address as well as an account that allows
you to access the Internet from a home PC. Most importantly, your email
access ID will be used by the department. So get an Access account even if
you already have email and Internet access from another source.
- Dial-Up Internet Access
To set up your home computer for dial-up internet access go to the
Internet Software -
CACPAC webpage. The CD containing CACPAC can also be checked out
from the Heindel Library.
- Local Sun Cluster Account
After you have gotten your access account, fill out an account request
form (available in the department office) and
return it to Dr. Bui or Dr. Wahls. Be sure to include a temporary password.
This password is needed to create an account for you on our local Sun
workstation cluster. You should change your password when you login to the
system for the first time. A number of your classes will have work done on
the Suns. It is to your advantage to familiarize yourself with the Sun
workstation and its operating system. The bookstore has a book called ``Unix
in a Nutshell'' which would be a good reference for those who are not familiar
with Unix.
- Access Card for the Sun Lab
The Sun lab is located in W-210A Olmsted Building. The lab is open whenever
the Olmsted building is open, i.e., 24 hours a day year round, except during
certain holidays. To get into the lab you need to obtain a proximity card
from either Prof. Royer or Mrs. Richwine.
