Using a Dial-Up Connection
A dial-up modem is a common way to connect to the Internet. Your modem uses a
method called Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to connect to an ISP.
Make sure your modem is plugged in to a phone line and you have the information
from your ISP available (see page 80).
To set up Network preferences for the internal modem port:
1 Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.
2 Click Network.
