Using a PC Card modem

When you are using a PC Card modem, make sure you do the following:

1

Install the communications software you want to use.

PC Card modems work with your communications software by providing
compatibility with a feature of your Macintosh PowerBook’s software called
the Communications Toolbox.

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, including Apple Remote
Access (ARA), 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 also get other modem files from the manufacturer of your
communications software. If you have trouble connecting, you can use the
steps given below for setting up ARA as guidelines for setting up your PC
Card modem with other types of communications software.

2

Insert the PC Card modem.

3

Plug your modem into a working phone line.
