Connecting with Mac OS

• PPP connection - allows use of the Macintosh's graphical interface, and lets you run several PPP applications at one time. Requires System 7+. 

Getting the right software:

• To establish a PPP connection you need special software. This will soon be available on the DCN website for download, or stop by Omsoft to pick it up. 

Configuring Macintosh PPP Connections:

• There are two parts to configuring your Macintosh to the new dial up number. These instructions are for use with the MAC TCP and CONFIG PPP programs. If you are using FREE PPP, please replace it with CONFIG PPP. FREE PPP does not work too well with the new 56kbps-modem bank. However, it will run Netscape Navigator and its associated programs, so if you would like to keep FREE PPP, the configuration information will be available on the DCN website soon. As well, CONFIG PPP will soon be available on the DCN website, and more specific instructions for switching from FREE PPP to CONFIG PPP will be provided. 

Part 1 
• Start by going to your CONTROL PANELS and clicking on MAC TCP, then highlight the PPP or MACPPP icon with one click of your mouse, and then click MORE

• In the OBTAIN ADDRESS field select Server Assigned Address
• In the box titled DOMAIN NAME SERVER INFORMATION enter:
