Greetings ( + )!( + ) First of all DeeZer I would recommend that you open About Your Mac, located under the "Apple" in the upper left-hand conner of the screen. Then select the "More Information" button which will bring up the "System Profile" and select the "Modems" tab to reveal the maker of your internal modem. If your MDD is equipped with a "Spring" modem like mine then perhaps you might want to read this: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/tiger_modem_reports.html If not then you should goto; http://www.iwaynet.net/links/modems-pc.html and find the best initialization string for the modem that you have in your MDD.
