That means that you don't have any software to make the actual PPP
connection using the modem. It's been a long time, but I think you would
need to look for an application called "FreePPP". Since you're sending
emails, I'm assuming that you have access to the Internet. Try to look for
FreePPP on Version Tracker <http://www.versiontracker.com/>. You should be
able to find it there. If not, check on some Macintosh archives.
