Macintosh System OS X has brought with it a completely new version of the
networking software, and, hence, a completely new way to configure dialup
settings.
All the preferences shown below can be found by going to the Apple menu,
selecting 'System Preferences...' and clicking on the 'Network' pane.
Using the modem selection (in this case, the internal modem in a Powerbook G3),
it is fairly easy to set up dial-in networking for MacOS X. Under the TCP/IP
selection, use the following settings:
-
Configure: Using PPP.
-
Domain Name Servers: 62.172.47.2 (new line) 62.172.47.3
Clicking on the PPP tab will allow you to fill out the following information:
-
Service Provider: Calico.
-
Telephone Number: depends on the modem speed. Select from:
-
0845 662 1309 for most modems and ISDN
-
Alternate Number: is really irrelevant. You can put in another one of numbers,
from above, if you like (eg one Telinco and one BT)
-
Account Name: should be the Username. eg: calico
-
Password: The connection password eg: login (Note that it becomes bullets after
its entered)
-
Save Password should be checked, unless you prefer to type in your password
each time you connect.
