What this update provides

For Power Macintosh users with GeoPort Telecom Adapter

This update provides support for V.34 protocols, which allow
data transfer at speeds up to 33.6 Kbps. Depending on line
conditions and the capabilities of the remote modem, your
connection speeds may be lower. Common data transfer speeds
will be between 16.8 Kbps and 24 Kbps, although they may be
higher or lower.

For Express Modem users

This update provides software improvements, but does not
provide any speed increase to the Express Modem.  For System
7.5.5 users, it is recommended that you install this update.

LocalTalk compatibility with GeoPort Telecom Adapter

If you are using a GeoPort Telecom Adapter on a Power
Macintosh 7200 series, 7500 series, 7600 series, 8200
series, 8500 series, or 9500 series, you must disable
LocalTalk. To do this, disconnect any LocalTalk devices
attached to the printer port (serial devices can remain
attached).

Sleep (Power Macintosh and Performa models)

Some Macintosh desktop models, including Power Macintosh
7200 series, 7500 series, 7600 series, 8200 series, 8500
series, or 9500 series, Power Macintosh and Performa 5400
series, 6400 series and Performa 6360, support the Sleep
feature to conserve energy. If you select "Sleep" from the
Special Menu available on these models while there is an
active GeoPort connection, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter will
disconnect the call without warning.

Connection (CCL) scripts for Apple Remote Access

Use the following connection script with Apple Remote
Access:

GeoPort/Express Modem

This file is installed in both the Extensions folder inside
the System Folder and in the Modem Scripts folder inside the
Extensions folder. It is installed in two places to support
all versions of Apple Remote Access.

An additional, optional connection script, named
"GeoPort/Express Modem CNG," is installed in the same two
places.  When you use this optional script, the GeoPort
Telecom Adapter or Express Modem transmits data calling
tones after dialing. Data calling tones allow the remote
machine to detect automatically that an incoming call is a
data modem call. If you are dialing into a system that
supports data, fax and voice calls (such as another GeoPort
Telecom Adapter), you should select this connection script
in the Apple Remote Access Setup control panel.

Communication settings

If you are using a terminal emulator or communications
program that supports the Apple Communications Toolbox, you
should select the "Express Modem Tool" from the connection
settings menu item. This tool's default settings will always
try to establish connections at the highest possible speed
with error correction and compression enabled.

Using RAM Doubler

If you are using RAM Doubler from Connectix with Apple
Telecom software, you should use RAM Doubler version 1.6.2
or later.

Troubleshooting

Clicking sound from GeoPort Telecom Adapter

If your computer freezes, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter can
lose its connection with your computer and may generate a
rapid clicking sound. This sound is a temporary side-effect
of the lost connection. To stop the clicking, unplug the
adapter for a few seconds or restart your computer.

Installing the updater
