Do I need high-speed Internet to use CTAS?

You do not need high-speed Internet to run the program once it has been installed. Some of the program’s features take advantage of an Internet connection: a number of these features may work fine over a dial-up connection, but others may not.

All of these features can be accomplished by an alternate method that does not require an Internet connection. If you do not have high-speed Internet available and need to perform an operation that requires a high-speed connection, e-mail the CTAS helpline at CTAS@osa.state.mn.us or call 651-296-6262.
