PPP Account Name
Set your PPP account name to your complete wap.org e-mail address, including "@wap.org". For example:
jane.member@wap.org
Your password remains the same as before. You can still change it using the Preferences link within the TCS.
Note: A correctly entered account name is all lowercase.
It contains no spaces, and it appears different from one's
name in real life.
Telephone Number
For best results, select an access number nearest you.

DNS Server Addresses
For fastest results under Mac OS X, leave the "DNS Servers" field blank. PPP will negotiate an entry appropriate to the location dialed.
This advice may not be feasible under Mac OS 8 or so. If you find that you connect successfully but then cannot locate web sites by name, specify the following DNS servers (in order).
216.194.192.70 216.194.225.70 216.194.192.8
In all cases, leave the "Search Domains" or "Domain" field blank for general use on the Internet.
Good Luck
That's it! Thanks for helping us complete a swift migration.
