Unlike previous versions of Mac OS, System 8.0 includes as part of the cd-rom distribution the software needed to use the Internet. It includes a dialer to connect, Netscape Navigator, Claris emailer and other Internet utilities.

This write-up describes how to configure the Internet Dialer software that is included in System 8.0. It assumes that Mac OS 8.0 has been installed correctly and is running properly. Documents on other Internet applications included with System 8.0 are available from Green Apple's support library, www.greenapple.com/support/library/.

Configuring

  1. The Internet software on a generic installation of System 8.0 is put into a folder called 'Internet' on the Hard Drive. Open that folder.
  2. Double click on 'Internet Setup Assistant'.
  3. Click 'Update'.
  4. Read Introduction window and hit '>>'.
  5. Select 'Add Internet configuration' and hit '>>'.
  6. Under 'What would your like to name this configuration', enter [Green Apple]. For 'How will you be connecting to the Internet' select 'Modem'. Hit '>>'.
  7. In 'Modem Settings' window, select the appropriate modem and port. Select 'Tone' or 'Pulse' dialing as appropriate. Hit '>>'.
  8. In 'Configuration information' window, enter the phone number (see below), your login and your password (remember, login and password are case sensitive). Depending on your location, use one of the following dial-in numbers:
             Lancaster: 654-2133 (and surrounding areas)
             Columbus: 834-5124

    If you have call-waiting, add '*70,' as prefix (e.g., *70,654-2133).
    Hit '>>'

  9. In 'IP Address' window, for 'Is there an IP address for this configuration?', select 'No'.
  10. Hit '>>'.
  11. In 'Domain Name Servers' window, enter
      DNS addresses
         192.168.187.6
         192.168.187.5
      Domain Name
         greenapple.com
    Hit '>>'.
  12. In 'Email address and password', for email address, enter <your login>>@greenapple.com
  13. For password, enter your password.
    Hit '>>'.
  14. In 'Email account and host computer', for POP account, enter <your login>>@mail.greenapple.com
  15. For SMTP server, enter: mail.greenapple.com
    Hit '>>'.
  16. In 'Newsgroup Host Computer', for NNTP Server, enter: news.greenapple.com
    Hit '>>'.

In 'Conclusion' window, remove, check from 'Connect when finished' and hit 'Go Ahead'. The system will pause a moment while it updates some system files. Dialer setup is complete when this process ends. You are ready to connect to the Internet.

Connecting

To connect, go to the 'Internet' folder on the desktop and double click on 'Internet Dialer' icon. Hit 'Connect' button. At this point your modem should initialize, dial-out and send your login and password information. If everything is correct, the connection will come up and you are ready to use an Internet application such as Netscape.

When you are done with your Internet sessions, close all your Internet applications that might be running, return to the Internet Dialer window and hit the 'Disconnect' button.
