System name:		saylor-2
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Move a Window

What's wrong:
	Display didn't redraw properly and wile waiting, core dumped [segv]

What should have happened:
	screen should have redrawn itself

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I have a core dump [which you might not care about, but then
you can just delete it].

Tether is MIT's remote-access dialup service providing PPP connectivity
to MITnet.  Tether provides high-speed, point-and-click access to MITnet and the Internet from home or on the road.  It supports the Point-to-Point Protocol  (PPP) and ARA (AppleTalk Remote Access) over analog lines at speeds up to 28 kilobits per second.   The current release of Tether does not support ISDN access.
<p>
Tether is an extension of the MIT computing environment.  Use of this service is for Institute purposes only and is subject to <a href="http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/org/t/tps/www/olh/Welcome/Welcome.html#rules_mitnet">MITnet Rules of Use</a>.

<H2><a name="eligible">Who can use Tether?</a></H2>
<p>
Tether is intended for use by MIT faculty, students, and staff only.
Access to this system is through Kerberos authentication.  Use of the system is
restricted to the individual whose Kerberos name you supply when you apply for a subscription.  Sharing your Kerberos password with anyone is a violation of MITnet Rules of Use.
<p>
Tether is available to MIT faculty, staff and students who meet one of the
following <STRONG>eligibility criteria:</STRONG>
<p>
<UL>
<LI>	You can provide Network Services with a requisition.
<p>
<LI>	You are a registered student and you authorize the Bursar's Office to bill you for the service.
<p>
<LI>	You are a member of the MIT faculty or staff and you authorize payments be deducted from your payroll via the MITCard.  To get an MITCard, bring yourself and a picture ID to E32-200 between nine and five weekdays.  For more information about the card, call x3-3475.
</UL>

<p>If you don't qualify for Tether, MIT's remote-access  dialup service, or live outside the local MIT dialing area, you have <a href=http://web.mit.edu/tps/www/Tether/outside.html> alternatives</a>.  You can still get PPP connectivity  to MITnet and the Internet by subscribing to a commercial Internet provider.

What is MacPPP?

MacPPP, a Macintosh version of the Internet Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
lets you dial into MITnet over an analog telephone line and get true TCP/IP
network access. With MacPPP, you can use network resources such as TechMail,
your World-WideWeb reader, and TechInfo from your computer at home or on the
road.

If you also want to have access to AppleTalk services consider using the
Apple Remote Access (ARA). See IS publication Dial-up Access to MIT

  6. Click on the More button

  7. Make sure that the Obtain Address option is Server.

     [Image]
  8. Click on OK.

  9. Restart your Macintosh now.

Configure PPP

  1. Select Config PPP from Control Panels. Make sure that your settings are
     the same as the settings below. If your Mac has an internal modem,
     change Port Name to "Internal Modem". If you have connected your modem
     to the printer port rather than the phone port, change Port Name to
     "Printer Port".

     [Image]

  2. When the settings are correct, click on Config...

     Result: The following window appears.

     [Image]

        o Port Speed should be, as in the example, 57600. The rule-of-thumb
          is run as fast as possible, so try 57600 first and reduce speed as
          necessary. If you get an error message, try a lower speed.

          num to 16172526955. Yes, it really is 252, please don't change it
          to 253.

          If you have Call Waiting, you should disable it during a dialup
          session. Add *70 at the beginning of the phone number
          (*70,2526955). Separate *70 and the number proper by a comma ","
          to give the phone system a chance to respond to the command. After
          you disconnect, Call Waiting is automatically reset.

        o Complete the Modem Init field. You will find a list of modems and
          modem inits in TechInfo (Computing-Tether).

  3. Click on Done.

  4. When the Config PPP control panel appears, the MacPPP configuration is
     complete.

Use MacPPP to Dial to MITnet

  1. You can start MacPPP in two ways.

     a. Go to the Config PPP control panel and click on the Open button.

     or

     b. Start a network application, for instance TechMail. This
     automatically starts up a connection.

     Result: With either method, after dialing, a logon dialog box appears.

     [Image]

  2. Logon with your Kerberos username and password (and click OK).

     Result: In the upper left corner of the Config PPP Control Panel the
     faces are smiling and the words "PPP UP" appear under the faces.

     [Image]

You can now use your MacTCP-based applications, including TechMail,
TechInfo, TechNotify, Gopher, Mosaic, FTP, telnet ... if you have copies of
the applications on the computer from which you are dialing.

When you are done and want to disconnect, click on Hard Close on the Config
PPP control panel and your Macintosh will disconnect from the server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning for Macintosh users with a portable, such as a Duo or PowerBook,

If you sometimes uses a direct Ethernet connection and sometimes dialup:
make sure to reset your MacTCP choice to Ethernet when moving from dialup to
direct.

Before you shutdown your computer after a dialup session,

   * Open the MacTCP Control Panel and change the connection from PPP to
     Ethernet.
   * Click on More...
   * When the next dialog box appears change the Obtain Address setting to
     Manual. Make sure the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.

     [Image]

This is important. If you do not do this, when you try to start your
computer at work, you will find yourself in a frustrating loop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trouble Shooting

If a connection fails, the first thing to do is try again. Sometimes you may
have a noisy line, or a single line in the modem pool may have a problem.
Many times trying again results in a good connection.

Try unplugging and replugging your modem.
To confirm that it really is a modem problem, try an alternate dialup
destination.

If the Open button is grayed out, check the MacTCP Control Panel settings to
ensure that PPP and Obtain Address from Server are checked and restart your
Macintosh. (See pages 3 and 4.)

If you are having problems with a network application such as TechMail even
though the connection appears to be OK, try opening an alternate network
application such as TechInfo. This tests that the connection is indeed OK.

If you are still having problems, check to see that you have configured
MacPPP correctly, as specified in this guide. If the configuration seems
correct, call the Network Help Desk at 253-4101 between 9am and 5pm.

If you find that your telephone line is still "tied up" after you have
completed a dialup session, it may be that you closed the session with Soft
Close. Return to the Config PPP Control Panel and click on Hard Close. This
should close the connection completely and release your phone line for other
uses.

     to save the MacPPP Docs that accompany the program. (The folder MacPPP
     Docs contains two files macppp.txt and release_notes. Both files come
     from the University of Michigan developers of MacPPP. The first
     document is entitled "Installing MacPPP - TCP/IP Over Serial Lines,"
     the second Revision History.") Choose a place and click on Install.

  3. At the end of installation, you receive a message informing you that
     the installation is complete. Click on Quit.

  4. Open Control Panels and double click on MacTCP.

  5. Make sure the PPP icon is selected, as shown below. (The numbers in the
     following two figures may not be the same on your computer as shown
     here - don't worry.)

  6. Click on the More button

  7. Make sure that the Obtain Address option is Server.

     [Image]
  8. Click on OK.

  9. Restart your Macintosh now.

Configure PPP

  1. Select Config PPP from Control Panels. Make sure that your settings are
     the same as the settings below. If your Mac has an internal modem,
     change Port Name to "Internal Modem". If you have connected your modem
     to the printer port rather than the phone port, change Port Name to
     "Printer Port".

     [Image]

  2. When the settings are correct, click on Config...

     Result: The following window appears.

     [Image]

        o Port Speed should be, as in the example, 57600. The rule-of-thumb
          is run as fast as possible, so try 57600 first and reduce speed as
          necessary. If you get an error message, try a lower speed.

        o Set Flow Control should be CTS & RTS (DTR).

        o Depending on where your call originates, you may need to change
          the phone number to include the area code and any other numbers
          for either calling long distance or for credit card calls. For
          example, if you need to include the area code (617), change Phone
          num to 16172526955. Yes, it really is 252, please don't change it
          to 253.

          If you have Call Waiting, you should disable it during a dialup
          session. Add *70 at the beginning of the phone number
          (*70,2526955). Separate *70 and the number proper by a comma ","
          to give the phone system a chance to respond to the command. After
          you disconnect, Call Waiting is automatically reset.

        o Complete the Modem Init field. You will find a list of modems and
          modem inits in TechInfo (Computing-Tether).

  3. Click on Done.

  4. When the Config PPP control panel appears, the MacPPP configuration is
     complete.

Use MacPPP to Dial to MITnet

  1. You can start MacPPP in two ways.

     a. Go to the Config PPP control panel and click on the Open button.

     or

     b. Start a network application, for instance TechMail. This
     automatically starts up a connection.

     Result: With either method, after dialing, a logon dialog box appears.

     [Image]

  2. Logon with your Kerberos username and password (and click OK).

     Result: In the upper left corner of the Config PPP Control Panel the
     faces are smiling and the words "PPP UP" appear under the faces.

     [Image]

You can now use your MacTCP-based applications, including TechMail,
TechInfo, TechNotify, Gopher, Mosaic, FTP, telnet ... if you have copies of
the applications on the computer from which you are dialing.

When you are done and want to disconnect, click on Hard Close on the Config
PPP control panel and your Macintosh will disconnect from the server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning for Macintosh users with a portable, such as a Duo or PowerBook,

If you sometimes uses a direct Ethernet connection and sometimes dialup:
make sure to reset your MacTCP choice to Ethernet when moving from dialup to
direct.

Before you shutdown your computer after a dialup session,

   * Open the MacTCP Control Panel and change the connection from PPP to
     Ethernet.
   * Click on More...
   * When the next dialog box appears change the Obtain Address setting to
     Manual. Make sure the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.

     [Image]

This is important. If you do not do this, when you try to start your
computer at work, you will find yourself in a frustrating loop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trouble Shooting

If a connection fails, the first thing to do is try again. Sometimes you may
have a noisy line, or a single line in the modem pool may have a problem.
Many times trying again results in a good connection.

Try unplugging and replugging your modem.
To confirm that it really is a modem problem, try an alternate dialup
destination.

If the Open button is grayed out, check the MacTCP Control Panel settings to
ensure that PPP and Obtain Address from Server are checked and restart your
Macintosh. (See pages 3 and 4.)

If you are having problems with a network application such as TechMail even
though the connection appears to be OK, try opening an alternate network
application such as TechInfo. This tests that the connection is indeed OK.

If you are still having problems, check to see that you have configured
MacPPP correctly, as specified in this guide. If the configuration seems
correct, call the Network Help Desk at 253-4101 between 9am and 5pm.

If you find that your telephone line is still "tied up" after you have
completed a dialup session, it may be that you closed the session with Soft
Close. Return to the Config PPP Control Panel and click on Hard Close. This
should close the connection completely and release your phone line for other
uses.

What is MacPPP?

MacPPP, a Macintosh version of the Internet Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
lets you dial into MITnet over an analog telephone line and get true TCP/IP
network access. With MacPPP, you can use network resources such as TechMail,
your World-WideWeb reader, and TechInfo from your computer at home or on the
road.

If you also want to have access to AppleTalk services consider using the
Apple Remote Access (ARA). See IS publication Dial-up Access to MIT
AppleTalk Using Apple Remote Access (ARA), NS-33.

Requirements

To run MacPPP, you need:

   * An analog phone line (ISDN service is not supported)

   * A Macintosh computer running System 6.0.8 or higher

   * A Hayes-compatible 9600 bps or faster modem. If you have not already
     bought a modem, see the list of IS recommended modems If you already
     own a modem, check TechInfo for the correct "init string" for your
     modem now.

   * A hardware handshaking modem cable to connect your Macintosh and modem.
     You can buy this cable at the MIT Computer Connection (MCC) in W20-021.
     It is listed in the MCC price list with the product code CABLE MAC
     MODEM. (Not required for a PowerBook with an internal modem)

   * MacPPP- Installer program. (If you download the Installer program via
     your web browser, look for it in your System Folder.) You can also get
     The Installer program on a disk by calling the Network Help Desk at
     x3-4101.

For help and more information, call the Network Help Desk at 253-4101.

          to give the phone system a chance to respond to the command. After
          you disconnect, Call Waiting is automatically reset.

        o Complete the Modem Init field. You will find a list of modems and
          modem inits in TechInfo (Computing-Tether).

  3. Click on Done.

  4. When the Config PPP control panel appears, the MacPPP configuration is
     complete.

Use MacPPP to Dial to MITnet

  1. You can start MacPPP in two ways.

     a. Go to the Config PPP control panel and click on the Open button.

     or

     b. Start a network application, for instance TechMail. This
     automatically starts up a connection.

     Result: With either method, after dialing, a logon dialog box appears.

  2. Logon with your Kerberos username and password (and click OK).

     Result: In the upper left corner of the Config PPP Control Panel the
     faces are smiling and the words "PPP UP" appear under the faces.

You can now use your MacTCP-based applications, including TechMail,
TechInfo, TechNotify, Gopher, Mosaic, FTP, telnet ... if you have copies of
the applications on the computer from which you are dialing.

When you are done and want to disconnect, click on Hard Close on the Config
PPP control panel and your Macintosh will disconnect from the server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning for Macintosh users with a portable, such as a Duo or PowerBook,

If you sometimes uses a direct Ethernet connection and sometimes dialup:
make sure to reset your MacTCP choice to Ethernet when moving from dialup to
direct.

Before you shutdown your computer after a dialup session,

   * Open the MacTCP Control Panel and change the connection from PPP to
     Ethernet.
   * Click on More...
   * When the next dialog box appears change the Obtain Address setting to
     Manual. Make sure the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.

This is important. If you do not do this, when you try to start your
computer at work, you will find yourself in a frustrating loop.

Trouble Shooting

If a connection fails, the first thing to do is try again. Sometimes you may
have a noisy line, or a single line in the modem pool may have a problem.
Many times trying again results in a good connection.

Try unplugging and replugging your modem.
To confirm that it really is a modem problem, try an alternate dialup
destination.

If the Open button is grayed out, check the MacTCP Control Panel settings to
ensure that PPP and Obtain Address from Server are checked and restart your
Macintosh. (See pages 3 and 4.)

If you are having problems with a network application such as TechMail even
though the connection appears to be OK, try opening an alternate network
application such as TechInfo. This tests that the connection is indeed OK.

If you are still having problems, check to see that you have configured
MacPPP correctly, as specified in this guide. If the configuration seems
correct, call the Network Help Desk at 253-4101 between 9am and 5pm.

If you find that your telephone line is still "tied up" after you have
completed a dialup session, it may be that you closed the session with Soft
Close. Return to the Config PPP Control Panel and click on Hard Close. This
should close the connection completely and release your phone line for other
uses.
