You are on the right track!  Select 'Tymnet/MCI', put in your local
eWorld access telephone number, login & password, and Bob's Your Uncle.
You can even sign up via Newton with this method if you have one of the
freebie sign-up access numbers that got packaged with some Newtons.

To get the TymNet/MCI CCL (and the Apple Modem Enabler that it is based
on) you will need the newton Package 'modemenablers.sit' which you can
find eWorld in the Newton area or on many newton ftp sites - try
ftp.geko.com.au/pub/Newton/submissions.

Enjoy!
