Can't get G4 to connect to the Internet

[Douglas McCabe]

Hello everyone,

I bought a used G4 (400 MHz) last week and registered with an ISP to provide 
an Internet connection and entered all the details provided by the ISP to 
configure the machine for online use, but try as I might I can't get the 
machine to connect to the ISP server.  Could there be a problem with the 
internal modem.  What modem is built into the G4.  In the Control Panel 
settings for Modem, a long list of modem types is provided in a pull-down 
menu. Should the modem configuration be for an Apple Internal Modem v30 or 
v94, or for some other model?  Could the problem lie elsewhere? My telephone 
line seems to be working normally, and I plugged the connection from the 
telephone into the G4 socket with the telephone symbol on the rear panel of 
the machine.  When I attempt to make contact with the ISP number, I hear a 
series of rapid tones at different pitches followed by single tone at two 
second intervals. Is there a simple test I can perform that will enable me 
to test whether the internal modem is working properly.

Hope someone can help as I'm becoming very frustrated at not being able to 
get Internet access.

Regards.

Douglas
