Macintosh
OS 9 and 10 are both supported by the AETA on the USB port.
For
OS 9 the driver supplied goes in the "/System Folder/Extensions/Modem
Scripts/" folder. The
AETA.sea file
should extract the AETA driver into the correct directory.
For
OS 10 the supplied driver goes in the "/Library/Modem Scripts/"
folder. This is just a matter of
dropping the AETA
file in this folder.
After
connecting your AETA USB port to your Macintosh USB port, you will be able to
select the AETA as an option in the modem control panel. The rest of the
installation procedure is the same as for a typical modem.
Further details for installing modems can be found in the help directory
on your computer.
Provided
on the CD-ROM are 3 versions of Zterm, a 3rd party Terminal program created by
David Alverson. The links below will allow you to download them to your
Macintosh.

Multilink PPP is used to double the
available connection speed to the Internet, this can potentially halve the time
to download web pages and files from the Internet*. The AETA does this by
making a second call to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) so that two lines
are then available for downloading information. The AETA
will make the second call to your ISP depending upon the
amount of information you are downloading from the Internet. By default it will also disconnect the second call to allow
an incoming or outgoing phone call.
If your ISP supports Multilink PPP,
you may wish it enabled. Follow the link below for instructions on
enabling Multilink PPP.
* Download times from the Internet vary due to many factors only one of which is the speed you are connected to the internet. Other factors may include the speed of the server you are connecting to and the speed and bandwidth of any connections between your ISP and the server you are connecting to.
