Connecting Via an Internet Service Provider

If you already have a connection to the internet, then you have an Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is the easiest way to get connected, do nothing! You may want to set some bookmarks to a few web pages, e.g.

	UTMB Home Page	http://www.utmb.edu/
	School of Medicine	http://www.som.utmb.edu/
	School of Nursing	http://www.son.utmb.edu/
	School of Allied Health Sciences	http://www.sahs.utmb.edu/
	Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences	http://gsbs.utmb.edu/
	Moody Medical Library	http://library.utmb.edu/
	UTMB Exchange EMail	http://webmail.utmb.edu/

If you prefer to secure your own internet service provider, you have many options. Having an account with a national or international ISP will allow you dial into the internet from a wide variety of locations. Some popular ISPs include:

ATT WorldNet ( http://www.att.net/ )
AOL ( http://www.aol.com/ )
MSN ( http://essentials.msn.com/access/ )
