Macs running System 7.1 up to OS 8 usually have internet software of some type, but there are many different variations. If you can not locate a browser or any software for the internet on your Mac.

Check your control panels to see which version of the TCP and PPP system files that are installed on your Mac. System 8 and above come with TCP/IP and PPP. In system 8.5, PPP is called "Remote Access".

Older Macs generally run MacTCP -- if you installed disks from Channel1 on an older system, you probably run MacTCP with FreePPP. Some systems run TCP/IP or MacTCP with ConfigPPP.

In any case, you will need two control panels, one which manages your TCP settings, and one (PPP) which manages dialing and authentication. If you don't have any TCP or PPP control panels, check your system software.

• IP should be assigned by server
• Domain (search domains, etc): channel1.com
