Support for TCP/IP networking

Your Macintosh provides built-in support for TCP/IP (Transmission Control

Protocol/Internet Protocol), an industry-standard communications protocol

for UNIX networking. TCP/IP provides the capability to access information

on Cray supercomputers, UNIX and Sun workstations, VAX systems, and a

variety of other systems.

To install MacTCP, see Appendix A (“Using the Custom Install Option”) later

in this book.

For step-by-step help

Choose Macintosh Guide from the Guide menu (marked with the

icon) and click the Topics

button. Select the topic “Networks and Telecommunications” and see “How do I make a TCP

connection?” For information about items in the control panel, choose Show Balloons from the

Guide menu.

High-quality audio

The new Sound control panel provides high-quality stereo sound. It allows

you to select sound input and output devices and adjust the volume of each

device connected to your Macintosh computer.

To set options, open the Apple (K) menu and choose Control Panels. Then

open the Sound control panel.
