With Mac Plus you can’t use control-keys in NCSA Telnet (in ZTerm you can use command instead of control). On 68000 Macs, telnet-, ftp-, mail-, and news-apps like NCSA Telnet, Fetch, Anarchie 1.6.0, Eudora, and NewsWatcher work fine. Apple dealers once sold it, but a cheaper and better way was to buy “The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh” (Adam Engst, Hayden Books) book where MacTCP, among other utilities, is included. Only MacPPP 2.0.1 and InterSLIP 1.0.1 currently work on 68000 Macs (SimplePPP, Sonic PPP, InterPPP, MacSLIP or FCRppp might work, but I haven’t tried them). Mac Plus, 2.5-4 MB RAM, 20 MB hard disk, 2400-14400 modem, System 7.0, and MacTCP 2.0.6 are the practical minimum requirements for PPP connections. System files are often stored as *.image files which can be opened and transferred to floppies with DiskCopy or ShrinkWrap. Systems 5.0-7.0.1 (7.0 on DD floppies) and some localized 7.0.1 systems TrueType INIT and Font/DA Mover for Systems 6.0.5-6.0.8 Systems 6.0.3-6.0.8 are the best choice for 8 MHz Macs and models with less than 2 GB of RAM. System 7.x requires a minimum of 2 MB of RAM and can be quite slow on 8 MHz Macs. The last freely distributed versions were System 7.0 (DD floppies) and 7.0.1.
