To test strings, use a terminal programme like Zterm (free) to talk to your modem. You can break up the string and test each part, putting the AT before the command, eg: your string AT&F&D0&H3&12&R2S7=90 can be broken into AT&F AT&D0 AT&H3 AT&12 AT&R2 ATS7=90 after typing each command, the modem should respond (in the Zterm window) with "OK", or an error, then you can look up the command (in your modem manual) and try to guess what went wrong. One that is definitely wrong is "AT12". Perhaps this is supposed to be "ATI2", an identify command. (The syntax for & commands is a letter, then possibly a parameter.) There are many generic manuals that list the "AT" commands, most are standardised but some are specific to a manufacturer.
In Zterm, try: AT&F&V ( &F reverts to the Factory profile, then &V should echo the current profile, which tells you what the manufacturer recommends.) Back in modem control panel, create a custom modem setup so you can mess with the string and not change any of the default ones. Anyway, my guess is you want to change the &D0 in your Accura string to &D2, as in your old modem. From my manual, the &D setting "determines how the modem responds when the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) input is changed from the ON to the OFF condition during online data state". "0" is ignore, "2" is disconnect and disable autoanswer. This sounds like what you want. Otherwise, just try your original Mac v.34 string. However, are you sure that FreePPP is making the modem setting? Under 9.1, unless you have made radical changes, you should be using ARA (Apple Remote Access) which uses CCL files which are scripts that contain setup strings, but also much more. I've got a few generic CCL files that give excellent performance (generally connect at 50667) with a "Practical Surfer 56K".
