G3 iMac internal modem problem

Hi,

I use my iMac's internal modem (56K v.90) to connect to AOL. It worked
fine recently, but when I turned on my computer the other day, it no
longer worked. I can hear it dialing the number, and it sounds like
its beginning a handshake, but then I suddenly get a steady tone, and
AOL eventually tells me that my modem is not accepting its setup
commands. I get the same problem in OS X and 9, so I'm not really sure
what the problem is.

Thank you,
Paul Dorman

Have you gone into Setup (via Expert) and checked to see that the correct modem
is selected? Or let AOL do it's thing where it tries to find the modem.
