now click on kind of server; you should have something like this:

1. ppp:windows 95
2. allowed net protocols: TCP/IP (this value must be checked!)

Mac users:

You need: MacPPP and MacTCP programs. You have MacPPP already installed if you have a Performa 'Internet Ready' Macintosh. However if you haven't it, you have to ask to your ISP or you can ask to your friend already connected to the Internet. He can find it on the net at this address: ftp://ftp.support.apple.com/ (name of program: 'MacPPP_2.5.hqx'). If you have a new Mac (with System 7.5 or newer) you have MacTCP, else you can buy it asking to Apple company.

If you have MacPPP, expand it by using 'Stuffit Expander', then:

1. put ConfigPPP and PPP files into system folder
2. restart the system

After restarting, go to Control Panel and then:

double click on ' size="4">ConfigPPP size="4">' icon:

1. choose modem's port on menu:
2. click on 'config' button and then set these values:
   1. your ISP's server name
   2. port speed: 115200
   3. flow control: CTS & RTS (DTR)
   4. tone dial: it should be checked, but you could use pulse dial (you should know if you can use tone dial)
   5. your ISP's phone number
   6. modem init: AT&Fx4 (Well, you should see your modem's manual...)
   7. now click on 'authentication' button (however your situation could be different, because you could use a login script, and, in this case, you have to click on 'Connect script' button. In the other case, your ISP provide a direct authentication by PAP protocol) and set these values:
      1. your User-id
      2. your password
      3. click on 'OK' button
   8. Finally, click on 'Done' button
   9. Close ConfigPPP
