TOPIC

    If you install ARA 3.0 or OT/PPP on a PowerBook 150, the internal modem may not function.

DISCUSSION

    If you open the Modem control panel, the "Connect via:" pop-up menu will not allow you to switch from "Modem/Printer Port" to "Internal Modem".

    Because of this, the Remote Access or PPP control panel will attempt to dial through the external serial port and will either not receive a dial tone or report that the port is busy. The same will be true for other communications programs that rely on the settings in the Modem control panel.

    The only workarounds for this problem at this time are:
    • Use something other than ARA 3.0 and OT/PPP (ARA 2.1 and FreePPP for example)
    • Use an external modem.
