Obtaining MacTCP

• Have Macintosh System Software version 7.5 or 7.5.1. Macintosh System 7.5.2 included with the 7500, 8500, and 9500 PCI-based PowerMacs does not come with the MacTCP control panel.
  
• Purchase a copy of the MacTCP control panel. To obtain MacTCP in this fashion, you can either contact Apple Computer directly, and buy the TCP Connection Pack, or (less expensively) purchase any of a number of software/book combinations. Northwest Link recommends the comprehensive and well-written Internet Starter Kit for the Macintosh, which includes MacTCP 2.0.4.
