PPP 2.2 is freely available for NEXTSTEP from ftp.cs.orst.edu (among other  
sites), have a friend download and sneakernet it over to your computer.   
You'll also need an access provider account, ask users in your local area for  
recommendation on a good ISP.  Any further questions should be answered by  
your internet provider.  In general, the best solution is to find a  
knowledgable individual in your organization or local community.

The Internet Adapter does not work with NEXTSTEP and is a very bad hack to start.
