Dial-Up Connection
A dial-up modem is the most 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 into a phone line and you have the information
from your ISP available (see page 72).
To set up Network preferences for the internal modem port:
1 Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.
2 Click Network.
