How to log on to SUCS

If you are using a University Open Access PC, double click the icon shown left, which can be found in Applications, UK-AC-SWAN. Select Remote System... from the Connect menu, and type sucs in the box that appears. If you are using a different computer, open the telnet program. From outside the university, the address is sucs.swan.ac.uk. If you can't find the telnet program on your computer, click here. If your machine is configured correctly, a telnet connection to SUCS will be automatically opened.
