------------------------------------------------------------------------ Access from home http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1113308075 Since April, 1st, [1]Cablecom via ETH is no longer available. The [2]central IT services sent out a [3]mail regarding the need for [4]VPN to be able to send mail from home. This is not necessary with your @phys.ethz.ch [5]account: Just enter your login in the configuration of the outgoing mailserver, activate encryption (SSL / TLS) and send your mails from everywhere. See our [6]readme for details. Also some news for ADSL customers like me: [7]PPPoA offers some nice speed and quality improvements over PPPoE.
