I experienced the same problem while I was a student at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign years ago. The campus had just
converted their telecommunications system to their own private
network, so to speak, with PIN codes, etc. When my PIN went kaput, I
called AT&T and got the same befuddled response you did Chris. I
couldn't really blame them, though, since I found out that it was the
University itself which controlled such things.  Apparently, the
school did so to enable them to be able to control their network.

I would suggest you press your university's telecommunications
department for assistance. They SHOULD be the ones who can help you.
