ARA 2.0.x: Macintosh Portable Problem & Solution (5/94)

I'm trying to use Apple Remote Access (ARA) Personal Server 2.0 with an original Macintosh Portable with an Apple 2400 internal modem. I get no response from the modem when trying to dial. I have tried all of the available 2400 baud scripts, including the Apple 2400 and Hayes 2400 scripts. I'm able to dial with other terminal programs.


It turns out that there's a pretty simple solution.  Use the Apple Modem 2400 CCL from ARA 1.0.  It works fine, and we have verified it.

We tested both ARA Personal Server 2.0 and 2.0.1 with a Macintosh Portable and reproduced your problem.  The solution above resolves this problem for both ARA PS 2.0 and 2.0.1.  We have reported your problem, and we're awaiting resolution.
