Virginia Tech Modem Pool (VTMP)
The Virginia Tech Modem Pool (VTMP) is a dial-up service
offered to university PID holders for off-campus connectivity. Please
visit computing.vt.edu for information
about PID
eligibility. The VTMP is offered as an affordable service to the university
community. CNS acknowledges that existing
and emerging connectivity technologies may offer faster connection
speeds and greater data transfer capability, though at a cost generally
greater than the VTMP. Before subscribing to the VTMP, we urge users
to carefully read the VTMP
Disclosure Statement and the information presented here. Users should
also read through the Acceptable
Use Standard and be familiar with
Virginia Tech's Information Systems usage policies.
To use the VTMP, your modem should be configured to dial 540-232-7000. If you are using the VTNet cd,
the software should automatically be configured with the right number
and settings. If you are experiencing problems setting this up, you can
call the VTOC at 1-6780.
Departmental Rates and Billing
The service rate for VTMP Service is $9.90 per month. A $6.00
processing fee will also be billed to new and re-activated VTMP accounts.
The monthly service fee is prorated for new and cancelled accounts. VTMP
service is billed for the current month. In other words, when you receive
your June 1st bill, you are paying for June service rather than May service.
Please see our rates page for
more information on these and other fees.
Students
Students may activate and deactivate service via the Customer Online
Access (COLA). Students who have never had service with CNS are required
to make initial service requests in person at the CNS Student
Network Services Office. A valid
Student ID is required.
Faculty/Staff/Other PID Holders
All other PID holders must complete a VTMP Application
Form and return it to Communications Network
Services via campus mail (Mail Code 0506) or fax (540-231-4800).
Managing Your VTMP Account
Student VTMP account holders can manage their accounts online using the Customer On Line
Access (COLA). COLA allows you to view payment information, cancel service, re-activate service, and pause the service
during breaks.
