Macintosh, PPP, and Msen

Open Transport


This is the base window you get when you open the TCP/IP control panel when you are running under Open Transport 1.1 or later.

Details

The Connect via field will always show what PPP extension is loaded. Other selections you will generally have are AppleTalk and possibly EtherTalk.

Always set the Configure field to "Using PPP Server". This will avoid a lot of hassles in MacPPP or FreePPP.

Your Search domain is msen.com; set your Name server addresses to 148.59.6.22 and 148.59.14.12. If you call in from Mt. Clemens, Troy, or Southfield reverse the order (148.59.14.12 first, then 148.59.6.22)

Adam Engst, in his book The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh has this to say about Open Transport.

From here, you can to to FreePPP setup, MacPPP setup, or MacTCP configuration.

That's all there is to TCP/IP in the Macintosh world! If you have any difficulties, please call or email service@msen.com.
