Using a PC Card modem
When you are using a PC Card modem, make sure you do the following:
1Install the communications software you want to use.
PC Card modems work with your communications software by accessing a feature of your Macintosh PowerBook’s software called the Communications Toolbox. Your software must support the Communications Toolbox in order to use PC Card modems. If you’re not sure whether or not your communications software supports the Communications Toolbox, contact the software’s manufacturer.
See the documentation that came with your communications software for instructions on setting up a PC Card modem. Check to see if PC Card modem files for your software were included.
Modem files for some communications programs (AppleLink, Apple Remote Access [ARA], and eWorld) come on your Macintosh PowerBook’s hard disk. The instructions for setting up your modem with these application programs are given in the sections below. You can get other modem files from the manufacturer of your communications software. You can use the steps given below for setting up eWorld, ARA, and AppleLink as guidelines for setting up your PC Card modem with other types of communications software if you are having trouble connecting.
