I have an Apple Personal Modem (A9M0334), and have tried to connect it to my Macintosh Plus as well as my Apple //e. The //e doesn't have any modem software, but the Macintosh has MacTerminal 1.1. Phone cables are plugged into both ports on the modem, one to the wall, and one to a phone. The serial cable is connected, and in the modem port on the Macintosh. However, when I try to dial into a BBS, it tells me that no modem is connected to the computer. The modem makes a beeping sound when I plug it in, along with a quick flash of the red light. Is there something I'm doing wrong in MacTerminal? Is there something wrong with the modem? I've taken it apart, but it seems to be fine. Could something be wrong with the Logic Board on the Macintosh, or is there just some setting that is wrong in MacTerminal? It's set to dial the number at 1200 baud, which the modem should support. It doesn't work at 300 baud either. Is it possible that the BBS is just broken? This problem happens with every BBS that I have tries, so I doubt that.
