Using Apple Remote Access with a PC Card modem

Apple Remote Access uses modem files (sometimes called connection scripts
or CCLs) to get the best performance from some modems.

Follow these steps to select your modem file:

1

Insert your PC Card modem.

2

Open the ARA application program.

3

Open Remote Access Setup.

The following screen appears:

4

Choose your modem from the Modem pop-up menu.

If your PC Card modem is not listed, check in the ARA Connection Files
folder (inside the PC Card Modem Files folder in the Apple Extras folder on
your hard disk). If the file for your modem is there, drag it to the Modem
Scripts folder inside the Extensions folder (which is in the System Folder). If
the file for your modem is not listed, try using an existing modem file from
the pop-up menu (such as a different model from the same manufacturer). If
this doesn’t help, you may need to get a connection script from your PC Card
modem’s manufacturer.

If you don’t have a file for your modem, you may want to choose another
modem from the pop-up menu, such as the Generic PC Card Modem, which
is designed to provide basic modem operations.
