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.

Under Flow Control select:

  • CTS Only if your connection is 9,600 bps or higher.
  • None if you have a Bronze modem or the PowerPort Mercury (in the PowerBook 200 or 500 series).

Under Modem Init, enter:

    • AT&F for all Bronze modems.
    • AT&F1 for TelePort Silver, Gold, and Mercury modems.
    • AT&F1&K3 for the Gold II modem.
    • AT&F1 for PowerPort Mercury (in the PowerBook 100 series).
    • AT&F for PowerPort Mercury (in the PowerBook Duo, 200 or 500 series).
    • AT&F\J0\Q3\N7%C1\V2W1 for PowerPort Silver and Gold modems.
    • AT&F1W1S95=44 for the Platinum modem.

Note:
If you are having a problem with connections using the Silver, Gold, Mercury, or Platinum modems, try using the predial initialization above and add a %C0 ("zero") to the end of the string. This is often needed when connecting to mainframes and Unix systems.
The basic Platinum modem initialization string for Internet connections is AT&F1. Alternate strings are AT&F1%C0, AT&F1+MS=74 or AT&F1+MS=74%C0. You may also try adding %C0\N0, \N2 or \N5 to these strings.
