Hi all,

I'm sure this is an FAQ, so I'll start by asking to pointers for the FAQ for
this group if one exists.

What I want to do is set up a Mac (not sure of exact model, but it's fairly
new) to connect to Demon. I need mail (multiple accounts), news (ideally
again read by more than one user), and web access initially.

I intend to 'test' everything using my own account before getting my friends
to get an account with Demon, so some method of disabling mail collection on
the Mac would be nice.

I have a good understanding of TCP/IP configuration under Win95 / NT and
Unix platforms, but have never touched a Mac, so I really only need the Mac
specific parts.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

TIA

Andy
