Users should add or change one of the existing strings. RESOLUTION ========== To change the name of an existing string, do the following: 1. Launch the Shiva Modems utility and open the Mac Portable string. 2. Change the name if you want. Next, change the dial string by placing the insertion point just past the "Z" in "ATZ", pressing the DELETE key, then typing an ampersand (&) and an "F". (IMPORTANT: Do not simply highlight the string and replace it; place the insertion point in the string and backspace out any unwanted information.) The string should be the following: AT&FS37=6&C1&D3&K4&Q0 MORE INFORMATION ================ Shiva is locking out all possible settings on the 2400 modem with a "vanilla" v.22bis connection, no v.42bis or MNP. This string should be successful with almost any Hayes-compatible 2400 v.42bis/MNP data/fax modem. For additional information, call Shiva Microsystems Corporation at (617) 252-6400.
