Software for your modem

Your Macintosh PowerBook has modem software installed, including
programs to connect to the Internet and to send and receive faxes. For
instructions on using these programs, see their electronic manuals on your
computer’s hard disk.

Choosing the port setting

You must specify the modem port to each communications program before
you can connect to another computer by modem.

The example that follows shows how to specify the modem port in America
Online (AOL), one of the programs installed on your computer’s hard disk.

Follow these steps to specify the modem port in the AOL software.

1

Open AOL (on your hard disk).

2

If you are new to America Online, click Continue in the dialog box that appears. If you
have an AOL account already, click Upgrade.

3

Follow the instructions on the screen to set up an AOL account or to upgrade your
current AOL account.

When you finish setting up your AOL account, the AOL Welcome window is
on your screen.

4

Click Setup in the Welcome window.
