The computer's modem made sounds in Mac OS 9 when it connected to the Internet. In Mac OS X 10.3, it's normal if the modem doesn't make any sounds when connecting.
Even though you don't hear the connection, you can see its progress in these ways:
- Open the Internet Connect application when you make a connection. The status appears in the lower part of the window.
- You can also see the connection status in the menu bar. Open Internet Connect and click the option labeled ""Show status while connecting".
