7.5.3 is all you need for now. Do you have a control panel called
MacTCP or TCP/IP? One of these needs to be configured with your
Internet Service Provider information.
If you have MacTCP follow the configuring directions found at
http://www.accesscom.com/support/macintosh/mac-mactcp.html
and also at
http://www.rtis.com/nat/user/toolbox/oldmacs/PPPconfig/ (scroll
down to view a photo of MacTCP) then restart the computer.
You also need a modem dialer like MacPPP 2.5 which includes a
Config PPP control panel and a PPP extension) available at
http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10621
Install (drag it on top on the System Folder icon inside the hard disk
window and click Yes to the message that appears) .
Now configure the ConfigPPP control panel also
using the directions found at
http://www.rtis.com/nat/user/toolbox/oldmacs/PPPconfig/ and also at
http://www.accesscom.com/support/macintosh/mac-ppp.html.
Restart the computer again.
Now see if you have an Express Modem control panel. If so, open it
and click the radio button for "use internal modem" If there is no
Express Modem control panel, you'll need to download and install the
Express Modem 1.5.5 software
from http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10382
(assuming it's an Apple internal modem)
Now click the "Open" button in Config PPP. Your modem will
dial into your ISP and this will (hopefully) establish your internet connection.
The final step is obtaining and installing a web browser and email
program (or use Netscape 2.02 that has both). There are ways to do this
without a CD-ROM drive. Basically it involves
Downloading Netscape Navigator 1.0 Installer available at
