A modem setup for the modem you’re using
Most Newton devices come with several modem setup files already installed. Your
dealer or the modem manufacturer can tell you which modem setup will work with
your modem. If the modem setup that you need is not included with your Newton
device, check the Modems for Newton OS Computers page at
http://www.newton.apple.com/product_info/thirdparty/modemintro.html
If you can’t find the file there, contact your modem manufacturer.
You’ll then need to install the modem setup package on your Newton device using
connection software, such as the Newton Connection Utilities.
An Internet service provider (ISP)
ISPs typically provide you with a telephone number to dial, an Internet mailbox, and
access to the Web. Check the following when choosing an ISP:
m Make sure the ISP allows you to connect using either the PPP (Point-to-Point
Protocol) or SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol) communications protocol.
Note: NIE works both with and without PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
or CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) authentication. PAP and
CHAP are forms of password exchange with the ISP’s host computer that provide
added security at connection time.
m Tell the ISP what modem you intend to use, and make sure it’s compatible with
the modems used by the ISP.
m Ask the ISP if they have special software for configuring your Newton device.
If they do, obtain the software and follow their configuration instructions.
Corporate or private intranet
If you’re connecting to a corporate or private intranet, you need to contact the
network administrator to get a user ID or login name and password, as well as the
access phone number.
Many corporations have security policies that may restrict your use of a Newton
device on their intranet. Check with your network administrator before attempting
to connect your Newton device to your company’s intranet.
