o CallMe System: The Computer Authority, Ein-Kerem branch, has launched
a new system to improve service efficiency. This system intend to
give the users the option to submit online service calls through the
Internet. The Computer Authority staff monitors the calls constantly
and will respond as soon as possible.
To open a service call please visit
http://helpdesk.md.huji.ac.il/callme
The users are encouraged to use this service. Calls submitted by this
system will get higher priority then phone calls.
This service is available only for computers that are physically
located in Ein-Kerem campus.

o Reminder: Win-95 dialler setting: A lot of people still connect by
loging manually into our systems. This way is prone to errors, takes
longer and does not allow you to move easily between different
internet suppliers. The instructions bellow describe how to change
the dialler to use direct PPP mode (assuming you run Win-95).
Open "My Computer" -> "Dialup networking", right-click on your
favorite dialler icon and select "properties". Then goto
"configuration", "Options" and deselect "Open terminal window after
dialling".
Now, when you want to dial, double click on the dialler, fill your
user%xxx at the username box, your password at the password box and
hit Dial. The black window will not appear and instead windows will
do all the work for you.
If you need further help then please call our support line at
02-6585555.
o Reminder: Linux login via PPP: Enclosed bellow you'll find the
configuration files needed for Linux to work with direct PPP, which
can be used with the university modems. Please note that we do not
support Linux and you have to tailor these files to your specific
system.
