Problems using a modem

My modem is not working correctly in Windows 95.

Try disabling the “Use flow control” or “Use error control” options for the modem. To do so, follow these steps:

1.In Windows 95, click the Start button, choose the Settings menu item, and then choose Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Modem icon.

3.Click the Properties button.

4.Click the Connection tab in the dialog box that appears.

5.Click the Advanced button.

6.Deselect the “Use flow control” or “Use error control” options, and click OK.

If you are having trouble connecting at higher baud rates, try setting the modem speed to 19,200 baud or less.

When I try to use my Mac OS communications software, I get an error that says the selected port is in use.

Your Mac OS communications software may be trying to use a port that is assigned to the PC Compatibility Card. Open the PC Setup control panel and unassign the selected port by setting it to None.

After I assigned a PC COM port to a Macintosh serial port, my computer did not start up properly.

This problem can occur if you are using Apple Remote Access (ARA) 2.0 or 2.0.1. To correct the problem, restart while holding down the Shift key to temporarily turn off all system extensions. Then remove the Serial Port Arbitrator from the Extensions folder inside your System Folder, and restart your computer. (Before you use ARA, unassign the PC COM port and restart the Mac OS environment.) You can also correct this problem by upgrading to ARA 2.1.
