Configuring the PPP Control Panel

Find PPP in Control Panels, which you can access via the apple menu. Enter your username and password here; check "Save Password" if you want PPP to remember your password. Enter the phone number you were given by Channel 1.

When finished, click "Options"...
Redialing can be off, or on if you like. If the modem encounters a busy signal, or does not connect properly it will automatically dial again if Redialing is on; it is better to keep this off while you're setting up your connection.

Click the Connection tab...
Configure as shown; if you check "Disconnect as idle..." your connection may be interrupted during telnet or ftp.

Click the Protocol tab
Configure as shown. Make sure "Connect to a command-line host" is not checked.

Click OK...
Go Back to Control Panels and bring up your Modem Control Panel.
Be sure the correct modem and port are displayed. If you download new driver
files from your modem manufacturer, change "Modem:" to the new driver.
