How to log into athena from FAR AWAY Currently, SSH is the preferred method of remote access to Athena. Using any SSH client, you can connect to athena.dialup.mit.edu from any machine connected to the Internet. You can also use Kerberized Telnet, using a program such as BetterTelnet (for Macintosh) or HostExplorer (for Windows). For information on using encrypted telnet or ssh to connect to MIT via the Internet, see also: http://web.mit.edu/acs/faq/remote_access/login.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you do not have a computer with internet connectvity, but you do have a computer with a modem, you might want to use a slightly different method. Few people use this method anymore, and the information may be slightly out of date. You could log onto athena by dialing into the athena dialups. Their number is 258-7000. While this should work fine, you might worry about the cost of the call.
