    This article explains how to reset the PowerBook G3 Series modem without restarting the PowerBook.

DISCUSSION

    Yes. You can reset the modem using AppleWorks or ClarisWorks or another communications application such as Zterm.

    1. In AppleWorks, open a new Communications document.

    2. Set the Connections Settings as follows:
    • Method: Serial Tool
    • Baud Rate: 57600
    • Parity: None
    • Data Bits: 8
    • Stop Bits: 1
    • Handshake DTR & CTS
    • Current Port : Internal (or appropriate port)

    3. Select Open Connection from the Session menu (this will let you type modem AT commands)

    4. Type the following:

    AT&F

    Then press the Return key on your keyboard. Wait for the computer to return the OK message.

    5. Type the following:

    ATZ

    Then press the Return key on your keyboard. Wait for the computer to return the OK message. This should reset the modem to the factory default settings.

    Alternate Method

    Here is an alternate, simpler method of resetting the modem, though it will work only if the software you intend to use relies upon the Modem control panel (for example, ARA 3.0 or OT/PPP):

    Open the modem control panel and change the Connect via: to modem/printer port and then change it back to internal modem.

    Note: Macintosh PowerBook G3 Series computers should not be confused with Macintosh PowerBook G3 computers. Though the names are similar, there are significant differences.
