Getting Your KSUCVM E-Mail From Home

What you will need:

1. Computer - Although you can use other platforms, we recommend a computer with Windows XP and a modem. WinXP has a built in dial up feature that is fairly simple to use.

2. ISP: To connect to the Internet, you must contract service with an Internet Service Provider that is already connected to the Internet, and negotiate a business agreement to join the Internet through them. The list of ISP’s is large and ranges from small dial-up ISP’s with a single computer and some dial-in lines, to large broad-band ISP’s with thousands of miles of fiber strung around the country. Different ISP’s offer different strengths and different monthly charges. Below are a few of the providers in the Manhattan area.  You can also look in the Yellow Pages under Internet Service Providers.
