Confirm that the Macintosh modem is connected and turned on, and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony software, or AppleTalk networking are running on that serial port. Make sure the Macintosh is disconnected from all online services, such as America Online (AOL). This helps to avoid conflicts with the serial port. 2.

Select the modem or printer port where you connected the modem cable. Modem Speaker Activates the modem's speaker.
