Dialup (PPP) Connections

The most common way to connect to the Internet is through a dialup modem. You connect
your modem to a phone line using a telephone cable (included with most Macintosh
computers). Your modem uses Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to connect you to an ISP.

If you have an external modem, follow the setup instructions that came with your modem. If
you have an internal modem, gather the following information from your ISP and have it
available as you configure your network:

m Service provider name

m Account or user name

m Password

m Dialup telephone number

m Alternate dialup number

To set up your network preferences for the internal modem port:

1

Choose Apple (K) > System Preferences.

2

Click Network.
