Connect Mac to Wiliki via Modem
Here are settings to connect Mac OS 9.2.2 to the Engineering modem pool:
Earlier OS versions should be relatively similiar. Blank settings are not
mentioned here) Command-K allows you to set up different configurations,
if several are needed.
- Modem Control Panel - Set the modem type and handshaking as appropriate
- TCP/IP Control Panel
- Connect via: PPP
- Configure: Using PPP Server
- Name Server Address: 128.171.60.183, 128.171.60.31, 128.171.60.58
- Additional Search Domains: eng.hawaii.edu
- Remote Access Control Panel
- Setup. Add login and password and phone number.
Set the "remember password"
option for it to remember the password on start.
(Omit password if you don't want the password stored.)
- Options...Protocol Tab
Check "Allow error-correction and compression on modem"
Check "Use TCP Header compression both on."
Be sure to UNCHECK "Connect to command-line host".
Having this selected will cause a prompt to appear, although
selecting "continue" at the "waipuna login:" prompt will allow
the connection to proceed.
Here is the corresponding settings for Mac OS X, open the "System
Preferences" application and choose the "Network" preference. You can choose
a "Location" (which correspond to different configurations) and there may be
several different network ports available.
Show: Modem (Internal Modem) - This will have four tabs for adding settings
- TCP/IP tab:
- Configure: Using PPP
- Domain Name Servers: 128.171.60.183, 128.171.60.31, 128.171.60.58
- Search Domains: eng.hawaii.edu
- PPP tab:
- Service Provider: UH CoE Modem Pool (or any name can be used)
- Telephone Number: 956-2294
- Account Name:
- Password:
- Save password: checked for saving
- PPP Options... button:
Various options, set to taste of user. As with Mac OS 9.2.2,
be sure "Connect using a terminal window" is unchecked.
- Proxies tab:
All blank, as proxies are not used.
- Modem tab:
Select modem model and other options. There is a checkbox for the
option of showing the modem in the menu bar, which has a menu to
allow initiation of the network connection.
SSH is included standard with Mac OS X and I use it to tunnel X windows
to my Mac here... The Mac OS X implementation of XFree86 is available from
Apple's Mac OS X web page.
I also recommend getting the "OroborOSX" window
manager. My favorite command (with other options for xterm, of course),
of late is:
- ssh -X -f ben@alamoana.eng.hawaii.edu /usr/bin/X11/xterm
