Select "Add internet
Configuration".
Name the configuration "Internet
Express Connection".
The "iMac Internal 56k
modem" should already be selected on this window. The
settings should not be changed unless there is nothing selected.
NOTE OF CHANGE: Your Full Email address should now be enetered in the User Id field
Dialup Number: 0198 308 121
Your IP address is assigned
automatically. Select 'No'.
Fill in the DNS addresses with
the following rows of numbers:
203.32.160.10
203.32.166.10
Leave the host name blank.
Fill in your email address as
shown in the example. Use your username instead of username.
Fill in your password in the password box.
Fill in your email account so it
resembles the example.
The SMTP server should be:
mail.ix.net.au
The news (or NNTP) server is:
news.ix.net.au
Click 'Go Ahead' to
complete the setup.
Once everything is configured correctly and you choose to
connect, you should see these windows and hear your modem
dialing.
Troubleshooting
If your username or password is
entered incorrectly, the PPP dialer will not indicate that. It
will only say 'connection failed' and will not display
information.
