In an effort to improve modem service, the CAC has increased the number of digital modems that support high speed (V.90) modem calls to over 2000. As a result, most of the slower speed (V.34) modems, which answer at 863-7777, are being decommissioned. If you are currently using 863-7777, we recommend that you change your dial-up settings to use the higher speed modems at 863-2222. If you have trouble connecting via 863-2222, then you may want to try 863-7777. Note that the numbers cited here are located in area code 814. Also, 865 may be substituted for 863.
Following are the current dial-up phone numbers for University Park:
Charges are not incurred when using these dial-up numbers in residence halls at University Park.
Note that because of continuous changes in the structures and rates of telephone service companies, dial-up numbers may change without warning from a local to a long-distance call. Penn State cannot be responsible for long-distance charges incurred by using dial-up numbers. Consumers are responsible for understanding the options and rates provided by telephone service companies. If you are concerned about charges for the use of dial-up numbers, check your phone book for information, or contact your local telephone service representative.
