•  Choose ”TeleFinder User TCP” from the list of available ports.  Then click in the OK button. 
•  The modem port icon on TeleFinder's desktop will change to the TeleFinder User TCP icon.
•   If TeleFinder cannot open TeleFinder User TCP,  restart the Mac to be sure that TeleFinder User TCP loads correctly. ( NOTE: If you are using MacTCP with a SLIP or PPP driver, be sure that the driver is properly configured and connected to your service provider. )

Reference
TeleFinder User TCP Modem Strings
You can control TeleFinder User TCP with Hayes command strings, just like you control a modem.  With TeleFinder you should use the built-in "TeleFinder User TCP" or "NetConnect"  Modem Setup.  If neither are found, use these strings:  Wake Up string “ATZ”, Initialization string “AT”.  Set TeleFinder's baud rate to 57.6K, no flow control, adjust bps off.  TeleFinder User TCP does not recognize "&" or "\" commands.

Connecting to a specific TCP port
TeleFinder User TCP can connect TeleFinder through any TCP port number.  By default TeleFinder User TCP will communicate using TCP port #1474.  You can make a connection through a specific port number by adding the port number to the dial string.  Separate the port number from the domain name or IP address with a semicolon.  

The following sample dial string makes a connection to the Spider Island BBS on port 23: "@spiderisland.com;23"
