West Coast Online
TCP/IP or Open
Transport
With FreePPP Setup
Step1:Configuring the TCP/IP Control Panel.
First of all, TCP-IP and Open Transport are pretty much the same thing. TCP-IP came first, but the later version bore the name Open Transport. They both accomplish the same thing, a modern replacement for the aging MacTCP. Users wishing to upgrade to TCP/IP or Open Transport need to be aware of one extremely important issue. Both will require either a MacPPP version 2.2 or higher, or any version of FreePPP. |
Step 2: Begin Configuring FreePPP.
If you don't already have a copy of FreePPP, you can download a copy. |
Step 3: The Account Tab.
On the Account tab, simply click the New button to create a new account. |
Step 4: Enter Login Information.
In the Server name: box, type West Coast Online. In the Phone number: box type your West Coast Online local access number. Leave Connect: set to Directly. In the User name: box type your West Coast Online login name in all lower case (Note your login name does not have an @wco.com at the end. So if your login name was bobr you would type bobr NOT bobr@wco.com). Finally type your password you requested with your account. When you are finished, click on the OK button to save the settings and you're done. |
