Re: Help w/ AOL, Jaguar, Wallstreet
You'll probably get this advice in buckets, but, here goes: Dump AOL. Our nonprofit has had TERRIFIC results and support from one of our list member's ISP; JMUG CONNECT. Sam is always helpful and knows his stuff. $15.00 a month for national dialup. http://www.jmug-connect.net/. Sam rocks! We had a similar issue with a recipient's 'book who put AOL on it. Ended up simpler to dump AOL and go with a different provider. raino On 5/31/05 2:04 PM, Andrew Kershaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is anyone out here still using AOL in OS X? My sister is, and I promised I'd help her work out some problems. Unfortunately, I can't figure it out. The issue is that AOL won't talk to the Wallstreet's modem. I installed it on my Pismo (10.3.9), and that's what I'm using to connect right now. On the Wallstreet (running 10.2 Jaguar, which update I'm not entirely sure), AOL's idiot setup always finds the right modem description (Apple Internal 56k v.90), but it seems to want to select the printer/modem port for the connection. When using so-called expert setup, I pick the right modem description and the internal modem for the port. Either way, when AOL tries to dial, it fails with results like modem not accepting our commands or modem cannot find a carrier signal. I've verified that AOL Dialup is the mode selected in the Network preference pane, and nothing seems wrong there. The modem works fine in OS 9/AOL 5, so there's no hardware or phone line issues. Does anyone have any ideas? FYI, I'm in digest mode since I've been stuck with AOL dialup for a couple of days. Thanks, Drew -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I've got a technical problem with a hardware/software combo, and I'm not interested in anybody's personal take on the software/service provider choice that my family has made. That being said, I think that except for the additional overhead that AOL injects into your bandwidth, AOL is really a very nice service. It might be overpriced, but it does offer a lot of tools for internet neophytes that no other service provides. AOL is a SERVICE, not a program. If all you want is a PPP connection, there are plenty of alternatives (even some that are free or close to free). If you want an Internet Service Provider that does more than give you PPP, AOL is great. Please excuse my diatribe, and thank you for taking the time to respond.

Re: Help w/ AOL, Jaguar, Wallstreet
Did you try selecting a different modem model? I don't remember which OS it was for but Apple had to create another modem profile for one OS version because of problems like this. It was long ago and my memory is getting shorter with age. John On May 31, 2005, at 8:02 PM, Andrew Kershaw wrote: You'll probably get this advice in buckets, but, here goes: Dump AOL.
