If your ConfigPPP file is in the right place then you should be able to select the PPP icon in the upper window. Once it is highlighted, click the More button at the bottom of the window. 

If PPP is not an available choice and you know that it is installed on your system, then you will must make sure that it is in the Control Panels folder. Try doing a File - Find search for "PPP" from the desktop to find the locations of any copies of ConfigPPP.

Step 4: Locate and Begin Configuration of ConfigPPP 
 Once MacTCP is set up, it's time configure MacPPP. Unlike MacTCP, MacPPP is freeware. You can download it from the Pyramid 3 FTP site. There are several variations on MacPPP, such as versions for very high speed lines. Most should use the standard 2.01 version. The information here should work for most version once you get past the cosmetic differences.  

Once ConfigPPP is loaded it should display a screen that looks similar to the one on the left. Don't worry just yet about making your screen look exactly like this one. Click on the New button at the bottom of the window.

 
Step 5: The ConfigPPP Modem Screen

When you are ready to connect to Pyramid 3 Network, launch ConfigPPP and click on the Open button. Once the connection has been established, you can run any Internet application such as Netscape or Eudora.
