Help Desk FAQ -- Dial-up

Annie Yu

I have never used the CityLink Plus before. How can I apply for this remote dial-up service?

As a member of the CityU, you can enjoy the CityLink Plus service free of charge. No extra application and registration is required. Currently, staff can enjoy unlimited connection time. To log into CityLink Plus, simply use your Unix account username/password pair that was created automatically for you when you first joined the CityU. The username of your Unix account is the same as your e-mail account, e.g. enmary.

Ideally, your PC at home should meet the following requirements:

486 or above
30 MB hard disk space & 16 MB memory
Modem of speed 14.4 Kbps or above
Microsoft Windows 95 or above
Optional: CD-ROM drive (for installing Netscape, Eudora, etc.)

To learn how to install the CityLink Plus on your home PC, you may purchase a CityLink Plus Installation Kit at the Computer Shop (2/F, Academic Building) or download a free copy of the CityLink Plus User's Guide at http://www.cityu.edu.hk/csc/dialup/staff.htm .
