If you have FreePPP and wish to use it, then follow the instructions below. If you do not have FreePPP and wish to use it, you can download it HERE or goto C|Net and download the latest version by type in FreePPP in the search box. Latest version of FreePPP is version 2.6, which can be downloaded locally from ISOT (Compressed v. 2.6 | Ready-to-install v.2.6).

The assumptions that we make are as follows:

  • Your MAC at a minimum must have a 68020 processor or a Power Macintosh
    and System 7.0 or higher, and at least 8 MB of ram.
  • You did not obtain our automated ISOT MAC Configurator software.
  • Your Mac have at least around 30 MB of hard drive space for a full internet installation.
  • You have stuff-it expander (or download from HERE) and have minimum know-how on working with MAC and get this software unpacked & installed.

If you have an older Macintosh system, you may still be able to connect, however, you will need to purchase Internet in a Box from your local software vendor.
