TOPIC
My European customers have LaserWriter 16/600 PS printers with the International PostScript Fax Modem. They need for the printer fax modem to dial without first having to receive a dialtone.
Is there a setting somewhere to do this?
DISCUSSION
Posted to Apple supported online services is a patcher that enables blind dialing on the LaserWriter 16/600 PS International (WorldModem) PostScript Fax Modems. The patcher is called "Ignore Dialtone.sea
Using Ignore Dialtone
This software only works with the LaserWriter 16/600 PS International modem, also known as the "WorldModem."
Step 1
Open the Chooser and select a LaserWriter 16/600 PS having an International Fax Modem. Close Chooser.
Step 2
Launch the Ignore Dialtone patcher.
Thereafter, your fax modem will not wait for a dialtone prior to dialing. This change will be in effect until you power cycle your printer.
