Initial Requirements

To use SWT as your ISP (internet service provider), you need to have a valid VMS account (Username) and password. This is needed to request a KERBEROS password which will allow you to access our Internet modems. If you need a VMS account, stop by the READY ROOM in MCS (Math Computer Science building) 262 and ask the operators for assistance. Once you have your VMS account (username), login and issue the following commands

$ GADGETS
pick option 8
pick option about requesting a KERBEROS password.

An E-mail message will be sent to you with the password. This is the password used later to make the internet connection with SWT's modems. It will take a day or two to be sent. The Username is same as your VMS username. BE SURE AND ENTER THIS INFORMATION IN LOWERCASE! Uppercase will not work and will result in an Authentication unsuccessful error message when trying to connect!
