    Read Me for the PowerBook G3 Series Modem Extension, v 1.0.1

    Description:
    The PowerBook G3 continues to supply power to the built in modem for 30 seconds after an application has used the modem. This minimizes the time it takes to start the next connection.

    With version 1.0 of the modem extension, if the PowerBook G3 is put to sleep immediately after terminating a connection, the modem will continue to draw power which reduces the amount of charge left in the battery.

    Version 1.0.1 corrects this problem by turning power off to the modem when the PowerBook G3 is put to sleep.

    All PowerBook G3 Series computers with the Apple built in modem should upgrade to version 1.0.1 of the modem extension.

    Installation:
      1. Drag the PowerBook G3 Series Modem extension on top of the System Folder.
      2. You will be informed that extensions need to be placed in the Extensions Folder. Click OK.
      3. You will be informed that an extension with the same name already exists in the Extensions Folder. Click OK to replace the existing extension.
      4. Restart the PowerBook.
