Internet Connect 1.2 (Mac OS 10.4.x)

Internet Connect 1.2 is the recommended 802.1X configurator for Mac OS 10.4.x users accessing AirPennNet. To use Internet Connect 1.2.0, you need a wireless networking card that supports at least 802.11b (WiFi) and preferably 802.11g. Most notebook computers come equipped with this wireless capability.

Internet Connect 1.2 includes the settings for AirPennNet and uses Apple's built-in Internet Connect application. It works with the Mac OS 10.4.x versions of Apple's Internet Connect application.

The Internet Connect 1.2 installer does not work correctly with newer versions of the Mac OS because Apple has significantly revised the network interface. Instructions for connecting manually to AirPennNet are available for Mac OS 10.5.x and Mac OS 10.6.
