My interest is reviving and putting to use older Macs discarded by other people.
I have a Performa 630 with an internal modem; when I connect to my ISP, I can hear the modem dialling-out.
I also have a Performa 5300 with (presumably) the same type of internal modem. When I connect with that, there are no dialling-out sounds.
Both machines are using the same modem initialisation string. I've tried adding 'M3' to the 5300 init. string but with no effect. They both have the check-box on the modem settings page set to 'loudspeaker on'.
I've also looked at all the sound settings places I can find in the hope of finding a switch but without success.
A friend who has two Performa 5xxx machines with internal modems says that his dial-out in silence too.
My troubleshooting so far has assumed that the 5300 modem is fault-free, hardware-wise. For reasons which I won't go into, it is not convenient to interchange the two modems but I can't think what else to try.
Please can anyone help?
Best regards,
Pete W.
