Summary: NACS offered dedicated dial up modem service to UCI employees for a monthly fee. This service is no longer offered to new clients and may be phased out for existing service.
Introduction | 2 Service Options | Cost | Ordering Service
Effective September 1, 1995, Network & Academic Computing Services (NACS) began to offer a "Dedicated Dial-up Modem Service". This service provides those UCI employees who request this service, a dedicated modem and unlimited connection time to UCInet and the Internet.
UCI faculty and staff who rely on dial-up modem service to work while off-campus can reduce the hassles related to the current "Free Modem Pool" by subscribing to the new "Dedicated Dial-up Modem Service". The"Dedicated Dial-up Modem Service" consists of V.34 compliant modems operating at speeds as high as 28.8Kbps, thereby providing the highest-available, standardized throughput offered by modem technology today.
Individual Dedicated Dial-up Modem Service (IDDMS) provides one modem for a single faculty or staff member. A private telephone number and a dedicated modem will be provided as well as a password to protect access to this service.
Group Dedicated Dial-up Modem Service (GDDMS) provides the option to share a group (two or more) modems with two or more faculty and/or staff members within a department. Users will have a distinct telephone number and will share a common password.
This type of arrangement is particularly useful for individuals rotating "on call" duties or individuals that work at different times of the day while off-campus.
Note: GDDMS could result in modem contention among the authorized members participating in the group. NACS recommends IDDMS for those users accessing the network more than 12 hours per week.
The cost for either option of the "Dedicated Remote Dial-up Modem Service" is the same.
Note: Per minute local-toll or long-distance usage costs will be billed by the individual's telephone company (e.g., Pacific Bell or GTE)
Note: Due to the LifeLine Modem Pool offering better service, the dedicated service is no longer offered to new clients. It may be phased out for existing service.
