   To play out of your computer's speakers, the audio needs to go to
to them. PC's soundcards have a special CD audio input, and Macs most
likely have similar connectors on the motherboard. There are no GS
soundcards with CD audio inputs, nor are there motherboard connectors,
so you're likely going to have to hook up headphones or speakers to
the headphones jack on the CD drive. Thus, there aren't many audio CD
control programs for the GS to my knowledge.

   I invite you to read the csa2 FAQ, just posted to this newsgroup
and official internet FAQ sites, and at its master location of
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 7.1 It covers
this subject. Short answer: PPP is still not currently supported, but
SLIP and straight text dialup is supported.
