You can connect to the Internet with almost every Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Mac OS X includes the Internet Connect utility, which lets you
dial your ISP, establish a PPP connection over Ethernet, connect to an
AirPort network or have your AirPort
Base Station establish a connection to the Internet. You can also use
an AirPort Base Station or Ethernet router to share your Internet connection
with other Macs and PCs on a local
network.
Internet Add-ons
The vibrant Macintosh developer community offers many additional Internet utilities so you can communicate with anyone however you like. Try versions Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Opera browsers seen on other platforms, or the Mac-only OmniWeb, Chimera and iCab. There are also plenty of newsgroup readers and ftp clients, as well as innovative programs that don’t have a Windows counterpart, such as Watson.
 The QuickTime plug-in lets you view most multimedia types directly in your browser. You can also view flash animations and games, Adobe PDFs and 360° panoramas with the appropriate plug-ins. Mac OS X also includes a Java 2 client integrated with Internet Explorer to let you view all online applets.
