Unhappy OS X.1 internet connect error

When I try to connect to the internet, which worked just fine under 10.0.4, it says there is a modem error. The modem connects to the internet with no problems on 9.1, thus here I am. I don't understand as all I did was upgrade and expect to do what I had done before.

I looked at all my settings and they appear to be as before. Please someone help me try and figure this out.

Well I have no answers here, but wanted to throw my hat into the ring. I am also getting the same exact problem. I have found that when i change the internal modem to power mac [the generic one they have] It dials out but hangs for about 3 minutes while, presumably, it tries to connect. Of course it never does.

I have an older G3 B/W which came with an internal modem. What's your mac?? Maybe there is a pattern with the models this affects.

Lightbulb I think I solved it......


Hello you guys. Well I kept playing around with the type of internal modem that Mac OSx chose to use for dialign out. I finally picked the Apple GV56k modem file and everything seems to working fine.

There are four total modem scripts that begin with apple, and for some reason the default that was picked was the 56k[v90] but that didn't work so i went down the list until wallah gv56k did the trick. Just hope it keeps working.

Modem connect error

Same problem here, but I had success fixing it with my Wallstreet by copying the "Powerbook G3 Internal 56k" script from the MacOS 9 "Extensions:Modem Scripts" to "/Library/Modem Scripts" and selecting it in the Network panel of MacOS X.

original poster...happy camper now

Thank you luisraul...that's the trick! I usually would have done something like this but was a bit too frustrated and had some other things to do at the time. Works like a charm, in fact now the modem sound works. I can't thank you enough ! ! !

os 9 scripts

Well now that everything is working I guess I won't go back and test OS9's scripts on OSX. At one point I did think about it but fr some reason I just thought it wouldn't work because of the fact that the OSes are that different, but thanks for the ip at least we have two things to fall back on now.

Yeah, and thank god for the freak'n sound, it was driving me crazy that OSx.1 would not fix it, but it does work with the gv script.
