ConfigPPP Configuration
for DialUp Net Internet Services

If you need to manually enter your DialUp Net connection information, please refer to the following instructions.  If you intend to reformat your hard drive at some point in the future or configure multiple computers for the same setup, print out these instruction for easy reference.

Ensure that "Modem Port" is selected under Port Name and your modem is selected next to PPP Server.

Click [Config]...
    For PPP Server Name, enter "DialUp Net."

Set your Port Speed to the appropriate number for your modem.  If you're using a 56k modem, select "57,600". Ensure Flow Control is set for "CTS & RTS (DTR)."

For phone number, enter your local access number.  (Don't forget to include a *70 if you have call-waiting.) If you do not have a number, you can connect via one of these access numbers listed below initially so that you can find your local access number.  We will tell you how to change it later on.
San Francisco: 415-442-4600 (56k, ISDN)
Tallahassee: 850-222-5078 (56k, ISDN)
New York: 212-461-5208 (56k, ISDN)

For Modem Init, you can use this string.  If you have a Supra or Global VIllage external modem, try "AT&F1," or leave it blank.

Click [Authentication]...
Lastly, enter "dn/" followed by your login name and password at this screen.  Remember, they are both CaSe-SeNsItIvE.

Click [OK], then [Done], then close your Config PPP window.  Remember to restart your machine.

If you have configured Open Transport or MacTCP, you're finished.  Just reboot your Mac and you should be ready to surf.  You can connect by choosing Open from the ConfigPPP menu or by starting your internet browser.  If you have any problems or questions, contact us.

If you still need to set up Open Transport or MacTCP, please do so before trying to use your internet connection.
