Apple made OS X very simple to connect to the Internet. As we go through the setup you're only configuring PPP Connect.

Before you start, make sure you have the following setup.

• You have activated an Internet account with us. If you have signed up with us please have your username /password information ready.

• You must have an active phone line plugged into your modem which needs to be hooked up to your computer.

1   PPP Connect

You will need to get into the Finder window.You can find the Finder icon in the Dock. Simply click on the Desktop icon in the Dock (It's the smiling Mac face.) and click on Apps in the top.
In here you can find the PPP Connect. Once you find it, double click it to open it.

2   PPP Settings

When the PPP Connect panel opens up you'll see a hand full of fields. In the Phone Number field enter one of our local phone numbers. You can download them here. Now in the Name field enter your username. If you are a DSL customer your username will be DSLusername. If you are dialing our Red Line numbers your username will be username@brandx.net. In the Password field enter your password that you supplied when you signed up with Brand X Internet & DSL.

For the DNS Addresses field enter these two numbers 209.55.67.2 and 209.55.67.3 and in the Domain Name field enter Brandx.net. Click Connect. See example image below.
