To establish a PPP connection through
CompuServe, you must have Warp's Internet
Access Kit (IAK) installed on your machine.
You must also have the PPP update installed
which you can ftp from ftp.ibm.net as
/pub/PPP/PPP.ZIP or you can download the file
from the OS/2 USERS forum (GO OS2USER) in
library 20 with the filename $PP.ZIP.
Once you have the PPP update installed, you
need to open the Dial Other Internet
Providers object in the Internet Utilities
folder. Then choose the Add Entry object, or
select Add Entry from the Configure pull-down
menu, then configure dialer as follows:

the dialer after the connection is
established.
