With FreePPP, I don't know the answer. OT/PPP works so much better for me
that I haven't used FreePPP for a long time.
My GV Platinum upgraded to 33.6 doesn't do this...neither does my GV56
(K56Flex) working at V.34 (the best available through my Central Office) or
at Flex speeds (from our office).
With OT/PPP, the thing to remember is that Apple doesn't ship the right
modem script for most Global Village modems as part of the standard System
installation.
Try OT/PPP with the incredibly-named script "GV 28.8/33.6 for ARA 2.1 OT/PPP"
This is available from the GV web site (if you can find it: good
hunting...this is a "how not to design web sites" example). It's also on
the standard MacOS 8 CD, in the CD Extras folder, then in the Additional
Modem Scripts folder. There, you'll find an installer with no options:
run it.
But I don't know whether your customer has a standard MacOS 8 CD or a Power
Computing version.
--------
Apple doesn't even ship the right script installed on G3 machines with the
available internal modem: they ship a second CD containing the script and
some other stuff. AARGH. And they call those machines internet-ready.
Maybe they'll get it right on the iMac.
