Network Access From Outside Campus

Nowadays, more and more users can get Internet access outside the campus easily. The Internet access include dial-up or broadband service provided by ISPs, hotel's Internet service, network computers at business conference or other universities, etc. The users may make use of such network services to connect back to our campus network for reading mails or bulletin board news, doing assignments, checking information in their accounts and so on.
