MAKING A DIALUP CONNECTION using Macintosh OSX

Click the System Preferences icon in your
OSX dock.

Dialup connection settings are now made at one location in OSX.

When System Preferences appears, click on the Network icon.

Both your TCP/IP and PPP settings are made here.

With the Network dialog box open, assure that Location: is set to Automatic and Configure: is set to Internal Modem. Click the TCP/IP tab and make the following settings:

Configure: Using PPP
Domain Name Servers: 209.198.128.11
209.198.128.27
Search Domains: austintexas.net

Next, click the PPP tab and we will make a few more settings.

With the PPP tab highlighted, set the following parameters:

Service Provider: austintexas.net
Telephone Number: your dialup number
485-9011 
Alternate Number: a backup dialup number if there is one)
Account Name: cidxxx
Password: (your password)
Save Password: CHECKED

Your dialer has also been automatically configured for your austintexas.net connect account.

To use your dialer, click on the Finder icon in your
OSX dock. When the Finder comes up, click on the Applications icon.

Once you open the Applications folder, locate the Internet Connect icon, this is your dialer, click it and get online. Optionally, you can click and drag this icon down to your dock so it will always be available to you without having to open any windows
