found this on the web: Macintosh issues
The Macintosh uses an 8-pin serial port, rather than the 9- or 25-pin port on most other computers. As a result, Mac modem cables handle DTR differently, and DTR is often used as a disconnect signal. The classic symptom of unwanted DTR disconnect on the Mac is getting knocked offline when receiving a large stream of data. This may happen during a download, or when issuing a dir command in a command-line FTP program. To disable DTR hangup, add &D0 (zero) to the end of your init string. 1. what is DTR? 2. how can i change the "init string" the problem described above sounds very much what has been happening to me: a page with lots of graphics often (usually!) is disconnected before it downloads because "the other side is not responding."
