Dialup Connections

This service is provided as a convenience for:

Current students
EOU graduates
Current employees
EOU retirees

Note: You should only use the dial-up if you are off-campus, and do not already have a reliable broad-band connection available. We strongly suggest that you subscribe to a broad-band ISP in your area since the dial-up is very slow, and can be unreliable.

In order to complete these instructions, you will need the following:

A working modem
A working phone line
Your EOU Mountie Pass Credentials (EOU email account username and password)
15-20 minutes

Basic Instructions

If you are already familiar with setting up a dialup connection on your system, you can use these settings:

Phone Number: 541-962-3140
Username: Your EOU Mountie-Pass username (the part of your EOU email address before the @ symbol)
Password: Your EOU Mountie-Pass password (the password you use for your EOU email account)

Making a new connection

Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the list.
In the Control Panel, click the Network and Internet Connections option, then choose Network Connections. Note: If the Control Panel is in Classic View, double click the Network Connections icon.
Click the File menu and choose New Connection to start the New Connection Wizard.
Click Next on the first screen.
Select Connect to the Internet and click Next.
Select Set up my connection manually and click Next.
Select Connect using a dial-up modem and click Next.
In the ISP Name field, type EOU Dial-up and click Next.
In the Phone Number field, type 541-962-3140 and click Next.
While you can enable Dialing Properties, we recommend you type the entire number INCLUDING properties into the “Telephone Number:” field. The number should be entered exactly as it needs to be dialed. For example, if you need to dial the area code enter the number as 541-962-3140.
To disable call waiting, type in *70, 541-962-3140 if you have tone dialing or 1170, 541-962-3140 if you have pulse dialing. Note: Some phone companies use 70# to disable call waiting; if this applies to you, type in 70#, 541-962-3140. If you are not sure what your call waiting code is, please contact your telephone company for this information.
If you need to dial 9 to get an outside line, enter the number as 9, 541-962-3140.
Note: Dashes (-) and spaces are not required, but using dashes can allow you to more clearly distinguish the area code from the exchange and the final 4 digits.
Enter your account information in to the resulting screen and click Next.
In the Username field, type your EOU Mountie-Pass username
In the Password and Confirm password fields, type your EOU Mountie-Pass password
