      Modem Init: AT&F1&C1&K3 (or left it blank if there is an error)
      Modem Connect Timeout: 90 seconds Depending on your location, use one of the following dial-in numbers:
            Lancaster: 654-2133 (and surrounding areas)
            Columbus: 834-5124

Once Config PPP is configured, you might want to create an alias for it and place the alias in the Green Apple folder for easy access (assuming you are going to put all you Internet applications there).

Connecting

Open Config PPP. Hit the 'Open' button. The modem will then dial up. When the connection is ready, the display 'PPP Down' becomes 'PPP Up' and you are ready to an Internet application (e.g., Netscape, Eudora).

To disconnect, close all open Internet applications. Go back to Config PPP and hit 'Soft Close'.

Corrupt Preferences

A semi-common problem with MacTCP/Config PPP is the corruption of the TCP and PPP preferences. This problem is evidenced in two ways:

1. The message 'PPP Down' never changes to 'PPP Up' although all the configuration information (esp. login and password) are correct and the modem has successfully dialed and completed modem handshake
2. After dialing in the 'PPP Up' message does show, but no Internet applications work.

To fix this problem, remove the TCP Preferences and the PPP Preferences from the Preferences folder and remove the file 'TCP DNR' from the System Folder. After this, reconfigure MacTCP and Config PPP as described above.
