Fink and X11

You need to (re)install the X11SDK, which is on the Xcode CD, and is not installed by default. Click the link for the long answer.

EUCS VPN and wireless

To use the central 802.11 wireless network (available in,: Raeburn Room, Old College; Hodgson Room, Science & Engineering College Office; Concourse, Appleton Tower, inter alia) and the University VPN, register online with the University Computing Service (EUCS) .

You do not need to download the Cisco VPN client. Once registered, you can connect to the University VPN server, vpngate.net.ed.ac.uk using PPTP with the built-in VPN client (accessible via Internet Connect on MacOSX v10.3 (Panther)).

Once connected via the VPN you can use the staffmail SMTP server: staffmail.inf.ed.ac.uk
