Step Three

• After clicking the 'Authentication' button from the previous window... you should make sure that the next window looks like the picture here.
• Enter your 'username' (ie. login name) in the Authentication ID field (do not include '@surfari.net'). The 'visitor' entered here is an example.

• You are now back at the PPP Server configuration dialog. Leave the other buttons alone and click 'Done'
• Test the configuration by clicking the 'Open' button in the main Config PPP control panel. The modem should dial out and connect to 'surfari.net'. A new alert will appear stating that the Login Succeeded (assuming you have everything correctly setup). Click on 'OK' and you will have a live IP connection to the Internet!
• If the connection failed retrace your steps above, checking for improper-cased charactors or IP addresses in the wrong format. IP addresses should all be entered as 'nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn' where nnn is some number between 0-256 separated by periods, or 'dots' as is the preferred terminology for the internet.
• Once you establish a successful connection, you can launch any TCP/IP application like (Eudora, NetScape, Fetch, etc.)
