- !This is not a problem with the modems, it is a bug in ARA. I know that an
- !'040 AV mac can rarely maintain an ARA connection for more than 45
- !minutes, and powerPCs have the same serial port architechture and perhaps
- SNIP
- For AV Macs and PowerMacs Apple has released SerialDMA 2.0.2 which fixes serial
- port problems, including perhaps what was described. It is incompatible with
- Serial Port Arbitrator which is installed by ARA in the Extensions folder,
- so be sure to remove Serial Port Arbitrator, it is not really required but does
- serve to arbitrate conflicts when more than one program wants to use the phone
- line. You can get SerialDMA202 somewhere within http://www.support.apple.com/
