It is no longer possible to connect directly to the Athena dialup
servers via modem.  Users are encouraged to transition to a
residential high-speed internet connection, such as a cable modem,
DSL, Verizon FiOS, or WiFi.

Modem users still  wishing to access Athena may  use Tether, MIT's PPP
dialup service.  For information on Tether, please see

http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/network/tether.html

Once you have configured your computer for Tether, you can then access
Athena via SSH.  See "How can I connect to the dialups?" for more
information.
