Abstract
In addition to providing dial-up access to CNS services and the Internet for CNS userids, CNS also maintains the dial-up services for the University of Florida.
Users considering using the UF/CNS dial-up service should be aware that this service is under review, and may possibly be discontinued at or shortly after the end of calendar year 2006. For more information, please see Dr. Hoit's memo to Deans, Directors and Department Heads of 05/02/2006, titled Charging for UF Dialup Services.
The "1-800" toll-free long distance dial-up service is scheduled to be withdrawn July 1, 2008. Please see CNS news item N0463 for more information.
