Configuring Macintosh PPP for Brandeis Computer Science Connections -- Text Only Version

Instructions for Setting Up PPP (Point to Point Protocol) in MacOS.

Download FreePPP for the Macintosh and unstuff it using Stuff-It Expander. Sometimes Stuff-It Expander automatically runs, this is OK.

In the folder called “FreePPP Installer” just created (most likely it is on your desktop, or wherever you downloaded the unstuffed file to) open the FreePPP Installer by double-clicking on the icon.

Follow the instructions the installer gives. Choose the “Easy Install”.

When the installer is finished, restart the computer so the new settings take effect.

On your hard drive, the installer created a folder called “FreePPP Folder”. Go into that folder, and double-click on the “FreePPP Setup” icon to open up the setup utility.

In a FreePPP setup, use the “Import Script” menu option with the following script.

You must make the script a text file first, and then import the script. The following is what you should put in the text file:

script starts below:
