The following message will be sent tomorrow (11/2) to recent users of the MichNet state-wide dial-up service. We're sending it to NAG so you have a heads-up in case you receive questions from your users. /rich _________________________________________________________________ To: MSU Faculty, Staff, Retirees, and Students MichNet dial-up has provided Internet access using local telephone calls for many members of the MSU community around the state at no charge. Many users, however, have abandoned dial-up in favor of broadband alternatives. Due to declining use and decreased funding, state-wide MichNet dial-up Internet service will be discontinued on July 1, 2007. MSU will continue to provide dial-up Internet access in the Lansing/East Lansing local calling area. Members of the MSU community currently using MichNet dial-up service outside the Lansing/East Lansing local calling area may wish to explore alternatives such as a cable modem, DSL line, or a commercial dial-up provider serving their local calling area. For more information, please read ACNS Knowledge Base article 7510 at http://techbase.msu.edu/viewpathfinder.asp?id=7510 or contact the ACNS Help Desk at 517-432-6200.
