1.1 What’s InterPPP

InterPPP allows you to perform network communications over a modem using the Point-to-Point protocol (PPP). It enables you to connect to AppleTalk and TCP/IP network services simultaneously by merely double-clicking an icon.

            PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol )   is a standard that allows multiple 
              local area network protocols to be used simultaneously over a 
              modem line or other serial connection.
          
            AppleTalk  is a multimedia network architecture developed by
             Apple Computer, Inc. for use on Macintosh and other computers 
             and peripherals.

           TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol )   is an 
            abbreviation for two communication protocols used to connect  
            dissimilar systems. The IP protocol controls routing data, and the  
            TCP protocol controls transferring data. For more information,
            see the book About Networking: A Guide to TCP/IP and MacTCP.
