Hi Angus Thanks for the feedback. When I referred to original scripts I meant the ones which were installed with my systems, on both my powerbook & my iMac (covering systems OS9.1, OS9.2.2 & OS 10.1.2) these scripts are called 'Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.34)' and 'Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90)' Both these scripts give me unreliable connections on both computers under all operating systems. The 'Apple int56K (v.34 Only)' script came from the 'Ross's Apple Scripts May 2000' folder which Bob Howell sent me and seems to give me a reliable connection on my powerbook but will not connect at all on my iMac (either under OSX or OS9.2.2) You say the RB ones are the new ones but they seem to have the same modification date as the 'Apple int56K (v.34 Only)' script ie 27 April 2000, I did try the 'Apple Internal 56K RB' script first but had two disconnections fairly quickly after. However I do have all of the scripts you list (thanks for the offer to forward) so I may try working up these to see if I can improve the connection speed. The problem is I don't believe it is just a speed problem since using the original scripts I had disconnection problems at a wide variety of initial connection speeds (including as low as 33600) while so far with the 'Apple int56K (v.34 Only)' I have not had any problems.
