Hi Andy

If you are using OS 8.0 you may have problems with freePPP if you OS 8.0 the
set is straight
forward using the Internet Set Up Assistant which comes with it.

Cheers
Nemesis
peace and happiness is a state of mind

If it's a fairly recent Mac, wouldn't it have OT/PPP bundled somewhere in
the Apple Extras folder?

As for FreePPP, I've found the various flavours on any info-mac mirror or
on ftp.demon.co.uk in pub/Mac/internet/ppp/

My preferred site is
ftp://sunsite.ic.ac.uk/computers/systems/mac/info-mac//

comm/inet/conn/ppp/free-ppp-105.hqx is my favourite flavour of FreePPP.
