Imac dial up internet

[cybersmart99]

I have an old Imac (plastic with a CRT screen).

I can't get dial up to work. Evrything works except, can't remember what it's called, when you enter your username, phone number and password.

It asks "Do you want to set up the internet", and then "Do you have an internet account ?"
Whether I ask yes or no, it does nothing, just ends the programme.

I know the modem works cos it will dial out okay.

----
Is there any way of writing the config file manually (yes my other system is Linux) ?
Does it use the same commands as linux ?

It is called Bluetooth DUN. Have you tried changing vendor type under Advanced settings>Vendor

Your Point some people still use 'old school' stuff and it usually lasts longer than current stuff as well.

I thought it was interesting. That is all.

No worries!

Have you tried Hi-Speed Internet. I have some Cave-Dwelling friends who switched to Hi-Speed and it was cheaper. Lots of starter plans out there. It does not answer your question but it is kind of like someone asking me; "What can I do? I am having trouble riding my horse on the freeway?"

So where do you find the file ?
I'll try the latter.

Started out with a Trash 80 and an acoustic coupler.
Aye, and we did it in the snow.

I get dial up free with the land phone.
Anyway I doubt OSX9 would work with current broadband standards.

SOLVED kind of

So here I am, typing, at a glacial speed, with an IMac bionic blue tray loading G3 with 64 MB of RAM and ie5.1.

I found the file at
MacIntosh HD > System Folder >Control Panels > Remote Access

Then I had to reset the TCP/IP control panel to PPP.
