Modem Picker
The Modem Picker allows you to select the configuration data that applies to your
modem. When you specify the Special modem handling option on the Dial Direct
tab in the Preferences dialog box, you can use the Modem Picker to select a pre-
set configuration for your modem.
The Modem Picker lists modem manufacturers and their modem types. The Mo-
dem Picker creates its list of modem configuration (INF) files from the INF files
stored in the Timbuktu Pro application bundle on Mac OS X.
Choose your modem manufacturer and model from the list and click OK.
If you don’t find a modem make and type for the modem that’s attached to your
computer, choose the Generic Modem option. If the Generic Modem selection
doesn’t work, see the following section,
“Modem Information Files and Custom
Modem Configuration.”
Modem Information Files and Custom Modem Configuration
To identify and set up your modem, Timbuktu Pro uses a subset of the Microsoft
INF file format. This lets you use Microsoft INF modem files, which are created for
Windows, directly with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh.
If you must specify your modem configuration manually, choose Standard or Cus-
tom in the Modem Handling area on the Dial Direct tab in the Preferences dialog
box. You can add a new modem information file or use a custom modem initial-
ization string. Unless you are experienced with modem configuration, custom mo-
dem configurations are not recommended. See your modem documentation for
configuration information, or contact Netopia Technical Support.
