I have a G3 Powerbook 250. Nice machine, and fast, but I have a problem
with the internal 56k Modem.

I works fine for faxing and seems to work okay for coms, but when I connect
to the internet it doesn't work at all well. It usually starts okay and
will download, news, web pages etc fast, but then it seems to stall and
will download only briefly and stop again. After a few minutes of this, I
get an error message saying something like:

Open Transport  - you have been disconnected.

Bearing in mind that that it's fine for faxing, this seems to be an OT
problem and not a modem problem, I'm using version 1.3 with Mac OS 8.1.

However, I have connected an extenal Pace 56K modem to it, and eveything
works perfectly, implying that it's not OT but a modem problem!

Has anyone had a similar problem, or have the faintest idea what could be
wrong?

Thanks.
