Note that few, if any, of these modem
initialization strings have been verified.
They may work, or they may not. If not, you
must consult your modem's manual or
manufacturer for the final word.
Please email me at modemboss@qni.com with any
new init strings or links to modem
manufacturers. Please do not send me mail
asking if I have a string for whatever modem
you may have. If I have such a string, it's on
the list. If it's not on the list, I don't
have one (but I'd be happy to accept one if
you can figure out a good one using your modem
manual).

Modems and Modem Strings
Below I've listed, alphabetically by
manufacturer, all the modem models with
possible modem initialization strings for use
with a Macintosh running MacPPP - other uses
may, nay, will require different init strings.
When available, I've created links to Web
sites, FTP sites, or tech support email
addresses for the manufacturers.

Suggestions from Global Village Tech Support
For Port Speed, select:
* 2,400 for Bronze
* 19,200 for Silver
* 38,400 for Gold or Gold II
* 57,600 for Mercury and Platinum
For Flow Control, select CTS Only for
connections of 9,600 bps or better. For the
Bronze modems and the PowerPort Mercury in the
PowerBook 2xx or 5xx, choose None for Flow
Control.
For Modem Init, enter:
* AT&F for all Bronze modems
* AT&F1 for TelePort Silver, Gold, and
Mercury
* AT&F1&K3 for the Gold II
* AT&F1 for PowerPort Mercury in the
PowerBook 1xx
* AT&F for PowerPort Mercury in the
PowerBook Duo, 2xx or 5xx
* AT&F\J0\Q3\N7%C1\V2W1 for PowerPort
Silver and Gold
* AT&F1W1S95=44 for the Platinum
Note: If you are having a problem
with connections using the Silver,
Gold, Mercury, or Platinum modems,
try using the predial init above and
adding a %C0 (that's a zero) to the
end of the init string. This is
often needed when connecting to m
ainframes and Unix systems.
