Macintosh users are usually pretty easy to get connected. None of the PPP
default settings need to be changed. Just obvious stuff like DNS address and
SERVER addressing in MacTCP and the modem type and authentication info in
ConfigPPP. However, I do know that people using the New Open Transport
TCP/IP are having problems recently. But the older MacTCP seems to work fine.
You might want to scan comp.sys.mac.comm to see what people are saying
about Open Transport.

This is probably the best thing. And buy a copy of the internet Starter
kit for Macintosh along with it.
