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
