New SJSU Dialup Number If you need help changing your dialup settings for the New SJSU Dialup Number.

You should use your SVPAL email address for PPP dialup access. In the dialup settings where you specify your username use your email address. For example if your SVPAL user-name is janedoe, then you would use janedoe@svpal.org. This change only affects PPP dialup access. Dialup access to the Text/Menu system continue to use the user-name alone (e.g. janedoe).

No changes are necessary for users dialing our older access points at 408-453-9950 and 650-961-3569.
