Modem: Using Register Feature as Testing Option (6/96)

This article describes how to test the modem dial out functions.

I just setup my new Performa 640. I am trying to get the modem to dial up a bulletin board but I am not sure I have the ZTerm application setup correctly or if the modem is functioning correctly. Is there an easier way to test the modem?
As a simple alternative test option you can use the registration feature of the modem. The registration feature is previously setup by the modem manufacturer. If you have a Global Village modem installed use the following steps:

* Open the TelePort control panel. (Use the PowerPort control panel for Global Village modems installed in PowerBook computers)
* Select the "Register..." option in the control panel.
* Follow the instructions as prompted.
