Just acquired a used G3 iBook. I'm in love. Anyway. Having one small 
problem with getting an Internet connection using the internal 56k modem 
at either v 90 or v 34. With troubleshooting at my ISP's end, they have 
no record of the poor little things attempt to log in. Now everything is 
set up -as far as I can tell, esactly the same as my regular Beige tower 
G3 password wise, phone number wise, username... which can connect 
through a USB global village modem.

It is beginning to look like the iBook's internal modem is overly 
susceptible to line noise (?) or there is something I just don't know 
about in OS X (10.3) which is entirely new to me too. TCP/IP is set up as 
per the tower, PPP is set up, networking is set up. The modem dials but 
doesn't connect. 

Any one with any good ideas?
