Important notice concerning the SLAC Dialup Service:
The SLAC Dialup Service is scheduled to end at noon on 31 March 2008.
Also, no new Dialup accounts will be created from this point forward. Current accounts will still work until the shutdown date.
The current SLAC Dialup Service has very low usage and is using Cisco access routers that are close to 10 years old. Cisco has announced End of Life for this equipment meaning no more support for firmware upgrades, security patches, maintenance, or parts. This non-support issue raises serious security and reliability concerns. Also, the cost of running the current service, or for new replacement equipment, makes it not cost effective to support the low number of users. Add to this SLAC's current budget situation, it is necessary to end this service as soon as possible. Stanford University has also announced the end of their dialup service as of September 2008 (see http://www.stanford.edu/services/dsl/modempool/).
