About PPP access
The Toronto Freenet ("TFN") provides a 56K graphical PPP service for you to access and enjoy the Internet in full colour. Access your email, the World Wide Web, and other services with popular software titles like Eudora, Netscape, and ICQ.
Accessing the TFN (in PPP mode)
To access the Toronto Freenet in PPP mode, you will need to setup your computer to dial into TFN and establish a PPP connection. Most computers now include the necessary software for connecting in PPP mode.
Setting up for PPP
To connect via PPP, you will need:
- valid TFN account
- computer with modem
- phone line plugged into the correct modem scoket (not the one marked phone- try both if not working)
- PPP connection software (most modern systems include this)
Getting the most out of PPP
To use PPP most effectively you need:
- a graphic Internet web browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape or Mozilla.
- an offline email reader/responder called a "mail client".
- instant messaging or chat software (if you feel comfortable typing fairly quickly to communicate)
