You should download Quid Pro Quo (QPQ) first.  MacHTTP is
old and does not run well on some systems and the newer
OSs.  QPQ is more up-to-date and can handle the various
OSs.  QPQ can be found easily by going to Yahoo!.

Next, what you should do is to go to the Extensions Manager
and make sure you have the following:

1. All of the Open Transport modules.
2. TCP/IP
3. MacDNR
4. Modem
5. PPP

All of these should be turned on in the Extensions Manager.

If you do not have any or all of these, Apple computer
keeps all of these things at their site.  I suggest using
Anarchie to go to the site or a mirror site and download
all of them.

Then, after installation and reboot, try switching OT from
looking at the modem to looking at AppleTalk.

Side note:  Anyone else notice that if you use OT with
Netscape that after a while, if you download a lot of
files, that OT slowly but surely stops working and hangs up
the modem?  I've switched back to using FreePPP v2.5.6
because of this.
