Mac Modem Script Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I tell my programs to use the new modem script?
AppleTalk Remote Access 2.1:
AppleTalk Remote Access is a program for remotely logging
into AppleTalk networks. It requires an ARA server at the
other end of the connection. ARA is not available for
downloading, but Apple's FTP has a set of ARA updates.
AppleTalk Remote Access is part of System 7.6, though you
may need to do a custom install of the system software. ARA
is also sold separately. System 7.6 and ARA 2.1 cost about
the same, so buying System 7.6 and getting ARA for free is
the most economical solution.
- If this is a pre-2.1 version of ARA, quit the Remote
Access Client.
- Open the Remote Access Setup control panel (Apple
Menu->Control Panels).
- Select the modem script in the Modem: popup
menu.
- Close the Remote Access Setup control panel.
Apple PPP for Open Transport
Apple PPP for Open Transport is a PPP dialer that is
enhanced for Apple's Open Transport networking. It is native
for PowerPC, but also works on 68K Macs. PPP for OT is part
of System 7.6 and later, and can be downloaded from Apple's
FTP site in the Open
Transport area. For notes and system requirements, check
the read
me file.
- Open the Modem control panel (Apple Menu->Control
Panels).
- Select the new modem script from the Modem: popup
menu.
- Choose Quit from the File menu.
- When asked if you want to save changes to the current
configuration, click the Save button.
