Modem Driver Support and Download

The key to getting a modem to work is often getting the right init string or driver. That's because every brand and model of modem is a little different. Inits and drivers take these differences into account, and help your software work with your modem. You're always better off with a driver. The driver will contain an init string, as well as extra settings used by the program. For Windows 95/98 DialUp Networking and Apple's PPP for Open Transport, you generally must have the correct driver in order for the software to report the true connect speed.

General Handy Init Strings

To keep the modem from answering the phone
Add S0=0 to your init string. (Note that "0" is a zero, not a capital "o".) If you want the modem to pick up after the fifth ring, for instance, you would use S0=5.

Speaker Control Init Strings
These commands will control the speaker on most modems. Note that "0" is a zero, not a capital "o". The Windows 95 Modems control panel and the Macintosh Modem control panel (in OS 7.6 and higher) have volume controls, so using an init string is usually not necessary if you have the correct driver or settings files installed.

M0 Speaker always off
M1 Speaker on during connection
M2 Speaker always on (very noisy)
L0 Lowest volume
L1 Lowest volume (redundant)
L2 Medium volume
L3 Maximum volume
