Power Macintosh G3: US Robotics Sportster 33.6 Modem Not Connecting to ISP

Unless a new modem script is used, the US Robotics Sportster 33.6 modem attempts to connect, but fails with "No Carrier".
Symptom

The US Robotics Sportster 33.6 modem dials, but will not connect to the your Internet service provider (ISP). A "No Carrier" error occurs.


Solution

Replace the modem script.

US Robotics, part of 3Com, has an updated modem script that resolves this issue. The name of this script is "US Robotics High Speed". It is available from the following Web site: http://www.usr.com/support/downloads-template.asp?prod=s-mac

Once at this location, download USR Universal Script, the file is named "usrara.hqx".

This file should be placed into the Modem Scripts folder inside the Extensions folder. Once installed you can select this modem script in the Modem control panel.
