Hi, Tommy: I know you asked the guys, but I thought I'd give your question a shot anyway ... If you cannot get a persistent connection at your university--either ADSL or cable--you will likely need an adaptor that allows you to interface an analog device to the institution's digital phone system. All the telco manufacturer's have such devices for their digital systems, and they tend, unfortunately, to be fairly expensive. Sometimes, you can get a handset that includes an analog jack. These kinds of handsets are now very common in hotel rooms. Your first step is to contact the folks on campus responsible for all this technology. They already know all of the answers because they've done this before.
