FreePPP Configuration
for DialUp Net Internet Services

If you already have FreePPP installed, you're set.  (Otherwise, download FreePPP.  After you download and install, you will be asked if you want to configure MacTCP or Open Transport... choose yes and follow the appropriate instructions.)

You must open the FreePPP folder and double-click on FreePPP setup.  You'll be presented with this screen.

Check the checkbox next to Allow applications to open connection.  You can also check the Disconnect... option as well and enter the number of menutes your internet connection is idle before the compouter will disconnect you.  Then choose [Modem Setup...].

From here, you can configure your modem.  You can turn the volume on or off by selecting Modem speaker on while connecting.  Be sure to select Hangup on disconnect, as well as AutoDetect init string.  Choose [OK].  You'll be back at the first screen.  Choose the Accounts tab (in the middle of the window).  You'll see this:

Now, you should see a screen like this, but your connection might be named "untitled."   Click the connection and choose [Edit...].  You'll see this:

Type "DialUp Net" in the Server Name: box.  Enter your local access number under Phone Number:.  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.  You may incur long distance charges using one of these access numbers.  DialUp Net is not responsible for these charges.  Be sure and return to this screen later to update your number.  We'll tell you how.
San Francisco: 415-442-4600 (56k, ISDN)
Tallahassee: 850-222-5078 (56k, ISDN)
New York: 212-461-5208 (56k, ISDN)

Next to User name:, enter "dn/" followed by your login ID you chose when you signed up for service.  Then enter your password in the next block.  Remember, both your username and password are CaSe-SeNsItIvE.  Click on the Connection tab at the top.

Next to Port Speed, choose the appropriate connection speed.  If you're using a 56k modem, choose "57,600".  For Flow Control, choose "CTS only".  Click [OK].

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 Connect from the FreePPP 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.
