Mac Modem Script Frequently Asked Questions

What's a modem script?

A modem script is a settings file that some software programs use to communicate with your modem. They are also known as CCL files (Connection Control Language files). Like a modem init string, modem scripts files provide modem configuration settings. Modem scripts go beyond init strings by providing an internal scripting language that script authors can use to tune the modem's response.

What programs use it?

The only programs I'm aware of that use modem scripts are Apple's AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) and Apple's PPP for Open Transport. These programs are discussed in more detail in the next section.

Next question: Where do I install the modem script after I download it?
