    PowerBook G3 Series Modem Extension, v 1.0.2

    This is software that allows a PowerBook G3 series computer to use the Apple built-in modem. Any PowerBook G3 Series computer with the Apple built in modem should upgrade to version 1.0.2 of the modem extension. This version replaces version 1.0.1 and includes the following fixes: - Changes the sound monitor source to 'None' while powering the modem on or off in order to prevent the 'pop' sound. - At close time, restores the sound monitor source to whatever it was at open time, unless the user has changed it in the meantime. - Improves power on/off and reset strategy to recover from possible modem error conditions.

    Fixed in Version 1.0.1:

    Turn power off to the modem immediately when the PowerBook G3 is put to sleep to avoid draining the battery.

    Fixed in Version 1.0.2:

    Change the sound monitor source to 'None' while powering the modem on or off in order to prevent the 'pop' sound.

    At close time, restore the sound monitor source to whatever it was at open time, unless the user has changed it in the meantime.

    Improved power on/off and reset strategy to recover from possible modem error conditions.

    All PowerBook G3 Series computers with the Apple built in modem should upgrade to version 1.0.2 of the modem extension.

    Installation :


      1. Drag the PowerBook G3 Series Modem extension on top of the closed System Folder.

      2. When a message appears saying that extensions need to be placed in the Extensions Folder, click OK.

      3. If a message appears saying that an extension with the same name already exists in the Extensions Folder, click OK to replace the existing extension. If that message does not appear, see the note below.

      4. Restart the PowerBook.


    Note : If the older extension has been renamed it will not be deleted when the new extension is placed in the Extensions folder. Manually delete the older PowerBook G3 Series Modem extension to make sure the newer extension is the one being used.
