Choosing the Port Setting
You must specify the modem port in each communications program before you can connect
to another computer by modem.
The following example shows how to specify the modem port in America Online (AOL)
software.
1 Open AOL (on your hard disk).
2 If you are new to America Online, click Continue in the dialog box that appears. If you have
an AOL account already, click Upgrade.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen to set up an AOL account or to upgrade your current
AOL account.
When you finish setting up your AOL account, the AOL Welcome window appears.
4 Click Setup in the Welcome window.
The Location window opens.
5 In the Port pop-up menu, choose Internal Modem.
6 In the Type pop-up menu, choose PowerBook/GV Internal 56 .
7 In the Speed pop-up menu, choose 57600 bps.
Always choose the highest speed available. This is the speed at which the computer
communicates with the modem.
8 Click Save.
Now the AOL software is ready to use with your modem.
