Connection Instructions
Mac OS
Our DialzipTM dialup network is compatible
with all Mac operatings systems. We will have tutorials for other
Mac versions as they become available. You can use this as a baseline
to make the connection with your Mac version. To setup your account
properly you should be familiar with the dialup protocols of your operating
system.
Please note that you must have an ISDN modem to
connect via ISDN mode and any normal modem will do for 56K or less connections.
Although we do not sell modems directly we do recommend several modem
vendors who often have specials.
