Mereness) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2 Subject: Modem Port HELP!!!! Message-ID: Date: 30 Sep 90 03:36:17 GMT Organization: Computing Systems, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 23 What are the differences (technical and otherwise) between the GS's modem port and a Mac? I have a modem set up in my house that feeds a line to the upper floor where I share it with a housemate with a Mac. On the Mac, there is no problems whatsoever. But on the GS, there are terrible data transmission problems. I have ruled out everything except the GS itself. I am running Proterm as comm software. I get garbage from the port along with whatever data is coming over the line, while the mac has no problems. My theory is that the GS is not putting as much power through the modem port as the Mac. My GS is rather loaded, with a filled GS-RAM and a SCSI-C card and only a Apple stock power-supply, but I am surprised that the modem port on my machine cannot cut what the mac is doing.
