The Mac is not in proximity to the PC, and I have just spent the best 
part of today trying to connect it via modem. The first problem that I 
encountered is that the modem, a SwannSmart V.90, was not listed on the 
(rather sparse) list of modems that the Macs control panel/modems 
offers. After spending much time googling, I discovered that I needed a 
program called FreePPP. This prog however is unable to detect the modem, 
and I suspect that is because it's not correctly identified in control 
panel/modems; although I have tried just about every one there is. And 
the problem is not something as simple as the port not being correctly 
set. From what else I've been able to learn, an appropriate modem script 
would solve the problem, but at this point I'm tiring of the exercise. 
The manufactures website offers a driver, but as i understand it it's 
for systems later than the 8.1. that I have.

However, I did try it, but it didn't seem to do anything. ?? When I 
unstuffed it, I just got the dotted 'flying boxes' from the window, and 
that was it! Nothing seemed to happen. There weren't any folders 
created, or any programs running.

Any suggestions?
