1. There are (at least) two different kinds of Mac Modem cables.
Be SURE that your Mac users are using a HARDWARE HANDSHAKE cable.
And be SURE they configure the modem for hardware handshaking.
Since there aren't enough pins for both hardware handshaking and
modem control, be sure that the Modem on the Mac end is configured
to ignore DTR.
2. Set the Subnet Mask on the Mac to 255.255.255.255.
3. Should not need to do anything special on the PortMaster end.
