1. Click on the Apple Menu and click on System Preferences.

2. In the System Pref

erences window, click on "Network". Location can say "Automatic". Make sure that next to "Show" it says "Internal Modem". If it does not, select it from the pull-down enu.

Next, you want to make sure that under the TCP/IP tab you are set to "Configure: Using PPP". You can leave the "Domain Name Servers" and "Search Domain" fields empty.

3. Next click on the PPP tab and enter a name to label your connection to us. In this example below, we have simply called it "CPU-NET" Enter the correct local dial up telephone number for your area, your user name and password.

Note: If you are not sure about the phone number, please check with your local telephone company -- we regret that CPU-NET cannot be responsible for any long distance charges that you may accidentally incur.

4. For advanced options click on "PPP Options..." at the bottom of the menu. These options will be used if you would like to set the system to make a dial up connection automatically or use Classic applications while using OS X.

A. If you would like the computer to connect automatically put a checkmark next to "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications."

B. For increased stability when using Classic applications with a PPP connection remove the checkmark next to "Use TCP header compression".

When done click on "Ok" button to close the window, saving your changes.

 
5. Next, click on the "Modems" tab. Place a checkmark next to "Show modem status in menu bar" option near the bottom of this menu (see the red arrow below).

This will place a telephone icon on the right hand side of the menu bar (the menu bar is the stripe that runs across the top of your screen and holds your menus, clock, etc.).

6 . This telephone (or modem status) icon allows you to quickly and easily make a dial up connection. All you need to do is click on the icon and then click on "Connect". When you want to disconnect you can click on this same icon and you'll find instead of "Connect", "Disconnect" - click "Disconnect" when you no longer need your dial up connection active.

If you enabled automatic connections for TCP/IP applications in step 4A above, you should also be able to connect by simply double-clicking on the icons for you internet programs -- Internet Explorer, Netscape, Apple Mail, Outlook Express, etc.
