Dialin setup
The TU/e provides for a dialin service, with local telephone access in all locations in the Netherlands. You need to have access to a regular Windows account on the TUE domain in order to access the service.
This guide is based on Windows XP. Other versions of Windows might have other dialogs, but the settings should remain the same. Users of other operating systems are on their own; however it will probably only be necessary to specify the correct phone number.
