Consider using a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you: (1) live
outside the UIC local calling area, (2) need to connect first time, every time,
or (3) want a very fast connection. If any of these apply to you, see Connecting
from Home - Finding an ISP, and in particular the Warning:
When you connect through an commercial ISP, you are not "on the UIC campus"
page.
Some things to note:
- You are not limited to using a single ISP. You can use two sets of dial-up
adapters and two TCP/IP protocols - one for UIC, one for a commercial ISP.
Appendix B, Troubleshooting, will help.
- Almost all NSKit applications will work when connecting with any ISP. As
explained in Finding an ISP, you must
change a sending email option when switching from an ACCC connection to another
ISP.
- You'll have to authenticate to use some UIC-based Web resources (for
example, some library databases) when you connect using another ISP.
