Protocol Tab
The Protocol tab lets you choose the protocol settings for your ISDN line.
By default, 'PPP' is enabled. Both ‘PPP’ and ‘Multilink PPP’ require that a PPP communications
stack be installed on your computer. Note that the protocol you choose must match the
protocol on the receiving system.
About the Protocol panel

About MultiLink PPP
•
To obtain maximum performance when using the MultiLink PPP protocol, your
computer's serial port should be capable of 230.4 kbps transfer. Macintosh computers
that have serial ports capable of 230.4 kbps include all PowerMacintosh computers
(except for the 52xx, 62xx, and 6300 models) and AV Macintosh computers. Check the
user manual that came with your system or consult Apple's technical library at
http://til.info.apple.com/.
•
Multilink PPP does not support the callback feature used by some servers.
•
When using Multilink PPP for incoming calls, only SPAP or PAP authentication are
supported.
