Sending Email from Off-campus

Overview

If you're off-campus you can still send and receive email by getting yourself connected to the Stanford network (SUNet) in a variety of ways. With a telephone/modem you can connect remotely by dialing in. With DSL service your system actually becomes an extended part of SUNet. In each case, however, you've got to tweak your computer a bit so it connects to the network correctly. If connecting via modem or DSL is not an option, you can still send email if your system is off the Stanford network.
