My parents' Mac has stopped being able to access the Internet. It's done
this before several times and I could always solve it by getting them to
re-type their user name and password into the PPP control panel -- seemed

There is also PPP as well as FreePPP.I cant tell you right "off hand" what
the difference is but look them up & find out the difference is. It'll probably

FreePPP works a lot better. But if it's an SE/30 with
7.1 why not just install Open Transport and make your
life a lot simpler?
