When you put in "Disk 1"
the computer comes up with this screen, simply Double Click on the

The setup of PPP on the Mac is a 3 step process before you can dial and get everything going. Below are detailed instructions on how to go about setting up PPP.
When you put in "Disk 1"
the computer comes up with this screen, simply Double Click on the
icon. It will self-extract all the files across the 6 disks and place
them on the hard drive.
If this does not come up, just double click on the disk "RU MacPPP 1"
and the window will then come up. Follow the above directions.
Next you will be prompted about the installation of the software, simply
click on "Continue".
Select where
you want the program to install the files for the RU Network. We suggest
making it simple and installing the archive onto the desktop.
Here is a screen capture on how the disks install. There are a total of
6 disks for RU MacPPP. In this section you will be switching those
disks around to install all of the files from the disk to your hard
drive. After this step is completed, you will no longer need the disks
for installation.
Once the process has completed, you will be prompted that installation
was sucessfull. Once this has finished, you have completed step 1 of
the install process.
To install OpenTransport,
double click on the "RU Network folder". Click on the arrow for "PPP
Setup", then click on the arrow for "OT 1.1.1-Net Install". Locate

automatically.
Locate the "Install FreePPP
2.5.rf" icon in the FreePPP folder. To continue with the installation
of FreePPP, double-click on this icon. Then proceed to the next step.
This is just the
install screen, simply click on the Install button to continue.
This is
just to select where you want to install the FreePPP software. We
suggest clicking on the "Install" button. For the more advanced user,
you can select which options you would like installed.
Now that the
installation of the software is complete, click on "Configure". This
will then prompt you into the next step.
Click on
"restart".
Notice now, on the top right of
your macintosh you have the left icon, the one that looks like the phone.
This is your FreePPP icon. This is where you connect, disconnect, and
setup your PPP connection.
Go to that icon and click on it. Pulldown and release on "Configure
FreePPP". This will put you into the next step.
There is a blue
arrow on the bottom left, click on it. (On this screen it is on the
middle left.)
Click on
"Open TCP/IP" and you get this menu. Type in the setings exactly as
you see them on this screen and then click on the "close box".
You then will
be prompted to save. Please do so.
Now click on the
"Accounts" tab so you can specify your username and password used for
dialing and connecting.
Now just type
these settings in exactly as they are shown here. Substitute your
username and password for the username and password of your email
account.
