It lies dormant (but works) on my 2400 & G4-Ti but you need to make sure Compuserve Dialer, CompuServe PPP CompuServe TCPack are all in and from same software install. It's more likely you need to use v.2.4.4 Classic because that's the only one I know that works w/Apple OS up to OS9.x due to authentication issues. Save yourself days of hassle and chase 244 down w/Compuserve first. Also lengthen the time you allow for the modem to complete the handshake protocol to at least 20 sec. Don't ask me more because I run Compuserve only for its worldwide local access ISP over other software (and it's the my only spammed email address)--but 244 does work.
