MacOS 8.5 includes all the
software you need to allow your Macintosh computer
to dial in to Niagara Internet and connect directly
to the Internet. The dialup software can be
easily set up using the Internet Setup Assistant,
which should already be installed in the Internet
or Assistants folders on your Mac's hard drive.
If it is not, you'll need to install it from
your MacOS8.5 installation CD.
You'll need the following information
to set up MacOS 8.5 to dial in to Niagara Internet.
Modem Settings
You'll need to know what kind of modem you have
(manufacturer and model or speed), which port
on your Mac its plugged into (modem port or
printer port), and whether your phone line has
tone or pulse dialing (almost everyone has tone
dialing these days).
Phone Numbers
Niagara Internet has two modem
dialup numbers for 56k access, depending on
your location.
