Someone told me that I could gain access to a number of different statistical and mathematical packages on one of the ITS server computers. Is this true? If so, how much does it cost to use the server and how do I set up my computer to connect to the server?
To access the statistical and mathematical applications on our server, you will need to add Austin Services (abbreviated AMS) to your IF or Departmental account. Information on the process is available through http://www.utexas.edu/its/wts. When signing up, you will need to add disk services and then Austin Terminal Services to your account in order to use the statistical and mathematical applications on our time sharing system. There is a small fee for disk services (generally about $13 per year).
In the new system you will have a remote desktop, but it will look just like a local Windows desktop.You will need to configure your remote desktop as follows:
Configuring Your Remote Desktop Client for Windows

Configuring Your Remote Desktop Client for Macintosh OS X

To access statistical applications click on Start, then All Programs, then Statistics. For mathematical applications click Start, then All Programs, and then Mathematics.
You can switch from your remote desktop to your local desktop by using the minimize button on the remote desktop. You will see a gray band at the top of your remote desktop with wts.austin.utexas.edu in the center of it. To the right you will see " - " for minimize and "X" for exiting from the remote window. The minimize symbol will take you back to your regular desktop.
If you need technical assistance with signing up for AMS; it is available through the helpdesk at 475-9400. You can also send us E-mail questions at stats@ssc.utexas.edu.
