How do I access M-Net?
M-Net can be accessed via telnet/SSH and via the web. Before accessing our conference system via the web, you must first log in using one of the other methods in order to create a new account.- Use our web-based secure shell client, or
- Use your own telnet client such as the one built into Windows or your operating system of choice.
You can download a free telnet/ssh client called PuTTY that is quite nice. It supports both telnet and SSH (secure shell).
To set up an account, use one of the methods above, and provide "newuser" at the login: prompt. You will not be prompted for a password, and the new account creation process will begin.
