HELP! Connecting RS/6000 to internet via modem

Post by miles.pu.. » Sat, 10 Oct 1998 04:00:00



Can someone help me or tell me where some documentation is to attach
an RS/6000 to the internet with a modem.  I will be using AIX 4.3.1 or
4.2.1, but most likely 4.3.1 on an S70.  I want to be able to dial
into my ISP and then use netscape on the RS/6000 to access the
internet.

Thanks Miles

You might want to visit www.multitech.com as they offer a proxy server
which is a little box that connects to your ethernet network on one
side and from 1 to three dial-out telephone lines at 56K to 1 to three
ISP connections.  It works rather transparently.

I am sure there are other alternatives but this sure seems easy.
