Hello all, I'm afraid to say that I have become stuck.
I am moving in to what used to be my grandmother's house in Northern England, and I want to maintain an internet connection. Unfortunately, the telephone system is so old that BT say there is no chance in being connected to broadband, and that I should use dual-up (it is only for three months).
Where I need help is; I have my MacBook and the Apple USB modem, and I haven't the foggiest what to do next. The CD given to me by the BT guy who assured me that it was Mac compatible only contains Windows executables and some .ins files, and for the life of me I can't find anything online on neither BT's website nor the general Googternet.
Should I take my friends advice and set up through a borrowed Windows machine and just copy the ISP details into OSX, or is there a nice, simple and probably screamingly obvious way to do it that I have missed?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT
After a cup of coffee I did some considerable digging into the BT site map I was able to find the telephone number I needed to dial to connect. The reason my initial searches hadn't worked was because they had actually misspelt "dial-up" on their own pages. Heh, who'd have thought it. Have a good day everyone!
