Setting Up the PPP Control Panel

This is a guide to setting up the PPP Control Panel for connecting to Madasafish.
The PPP Control Panel is a component of Open Transport/PPP. You must have Open Transport installed to install and configure PPP.

Please note that the PPP Control Panel has been replaced by the Remote Access Control Panel in MacOS 8.5 and higher.

To start go to the Apple Menu (top left of screen), select Control Panels then PPP. You should see the screen below.
