Macintosh OS 8 SetUp Assistant
for Pioneer Internet Users

1. Open the Internet Setup Assistant, found on your hard drive. If you do not find it there, you will find a folder titled "Assistants" which will contain the Setup Assistant.

3. Click on the right arrow at the bottom to continue.

4. If you are creating a new connection with the Setup Assistant, select the Add radio button. If you would like to make changes to an existing connection that has been created, use Modify.

5. Enter "Pioneer Internet" (no quotes) for the name of the connection. Also, select the connection style you will be using. This is most likely going to be set to Modem.

6. Select from the list the brand of modem you will be using. The port that your modem is connected to should also be set at this time. If the Setup Assistant has not defaulted to Tone at the bottom of this screen, change it at this time.

(you may click on Local Phone Number above in the image to find your correct local number)

7. In the appropriate fields, enter the phone number local to you, as well as your username and password. These should both be entered in lower case.

10. Enter your e-mail address (username@pld.com), and password in the appropriate fields. Your e-mail password is the same password you use when you log on. It will show in alphanumeric characters at first, so you will be sure that you entered the correct password, and will switch to a series of dots when you continue to the next screen.

11. In this screen, you will enter the names of our incoming (POP which is: mail.pld.com) and outgoing (SMTP which is: mail.pld.com) mail servers.
