Please help me to overcome this problem..

I can't get my G3 mac with system 8 to connect with you.
Goes right up to connnecting with you ok except will not handshake.
will send faxes ok and seems to be dialling to you via modem ok so apart
from not
seeming to send dial up script must be technically operative?..
Have tried setting isp dialup via 'mac helpers' but not succesful yet.
What is wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hard to tell from your post but:

Are you using OT/PPP? (I assume you are, since this is what comes with your
G3).

Have you set up a connection via OT/PPP before?

If so, did it work then?

If not, have you since you wrote that tried to do so, using the Mac set-up
dialogue? I did it for a friend and it worked well; you just have to do
one, very careful manually typed in connect session and record it. Then you
just tell it to use a script to connect.

Sorry not to be more help, but others will undoubtedly come to the rescue
more effectively.
