Hi listers, Bad girl here. Broke the budget and bought from the swap list a used but wonderful G3/233 with OS 9.1 on it. We hooked it up yesterday, including a successful transplant of both the HDs that used to live in my 7200/120 -- so yay, I get to keep all my "stuff!" The only problem is, I can't make it go online -- at least not when I boot with the HD with the OS 9.1 on it. Right now I'm using one of my old HDs as the boot disk, so I can send you all this email. ;-)
1. My modem is absolutely, positively functional and hooked to the proper port (modem port), so I know for a fact that this is not the issue. 2. I'm also aware of the fact that getting 9.1 to go online differs somewhat from getting 8.1 to do it, in terms of control panels. In fact, I went to the URL I saw last week and referred another lister (one on 9.2.2), to refamiliarize myself with the OS 9 mostly "new" (for me) control panels -- Modem, TCP/IP and Remote Access. I configured these as appropriate to get online with my particular ISP. Those, and the ConfigPPP control panel I got from my ISP, I rechecked that to make sure too (against the one in my PB which absolutely works). However, on the OS 9.1 drive, both the "open" and "close" areas are both greyed out (not so when I open it from the old HDs though -- although I copied it into the OS 9.1 control panels). 3. Next step: I also used the Internet Setup Assistant in the OS 9 Utilities folder. Now, specifically, I don't have touch-tone dialing service on my telephone line (to my apartment), so naturally I always set my modem/Internet to pulse dial. The problem is when I try to connect to my ISP with the OS 9.1 as startup disk, it makes my modem tone dial -- despite the fact that my Modem control panel reads that I properly set it to pulse dial. I've used that Internet Assistant to configure three times already, since for whatever reason I don't know how to get back to an already set-up configuration to either recheck it or edit it -- when I open it, it always makes me start all over again. So can you tell me how to make this thing pulse dial, or how to get back into my set-up config for a double-check, etc.? Trying to connect directly with Remote Access also makes it tone dial.
