A new version of the Direct Dialup software, version 1.0.1, has been released to solve a conflict between the Direct Dialup PMSAM 1.0 and other previously installed PMSAMs. This upgrade is free to registered owners of the Direct Dialup 1.0 software. Only the first two disks have been revised. Registered owners of the Direct Dialup are being sent the upgrade disks free of charge. If a customer does not already own Direct Dialup they can order it via (800) 769-2775 x6565. All current orders for Direct Dialup are being filled with version 1.0.1.
The enclosed file is a self-extracting archive of two Disk Copy 800K disk images. To use, download, double-click the downloaded file (this decompresses it), and use Disk Copy to create the disks.
Disk Copy can be found in the Utilities folder posted here.

From the Read Me document:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT DIRECT DIALUP MAIL
This document adds to the information in your PowerTalk User’s Guide. To use
Direct Dialup mail, you need to have PowerTalk and Direct Dialup mail installed and a modem connected to your Macintosh or PowerBook.
INSTALLATION AND COMPATIBILITY
AppleTalk Remote Access 1.0 is not compatible with Direct Dialup mail. It is
automatically removed from your hard disk when you install Direct Dialup mail.
To use AppleTalk Remote Access with Direct Dialup mail, you must upgrade to
AppleTalk Remote Access version 2.0 or later.
AppleTalk Remote Access MultiPort Server is not compatible with Direct Dialup
mail. Do not install both AppleTalk Remote Access Multiport Server and Direct
Dialup mail on the same computer.
If you install Direct Dialup mail a second time on the same computer, you must
reenter the Modem Setup information. Open the Direct Dialup key in your
PowerTalk Key Chain, click the Modem Setup button, then choose the appropriate
modem from the Modem popup menu.
DIALING PREFIXES
If your telephone system requires a special prefix before the telephone number
you want to dial, you must include a comma after the prefix number. For example, if you need to use the prefix “9” for local calls, enter “9,” in the Local Calls box of the Direct Dialup setup window.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your modem dials the telephone but cannot connect with another Macintosh, try these solutions:
• Make sure the telephone number is correct.
• Make sure the Macintosh you are trying to connect with is turned on, the
modem is connected, and the computer and modem are set up correctly.
• If you are using a charge card number in the Direct Dialup control panel, you
may need to make Direct Dialup wait longer before dialing the charge card
number. The default delay in the U.S. is 20 seconds. To increase the delay,
add one or more commas at the beginning of the charge card number. Each comma
increases the delay by two seconds.
• If you are using a charge card in the Direct Dialup setup window, make sure
you select tone dialing in the Remote Access Setup window.
• If you see a triangle icon on the right side of your Out Tray or In Tray, it
means there is a problem. Click the triangle icon for more information.
If your modem connects with another modem but then loses the connection, try
these solutions:
• Make sure you selected the correct modem type when setting up the software.
• If your telephone line has a call-waiting feature turned on, try turning that
feature off. Call waiting can interrupt modem connections.
• Your telephone line may have excessive noise. Contact your telephone company.
• If you are using another application program that uses the modem, quit that
program before using Direct Dialup.
To cancel a call in progress, open the Out Tray and drag the sending item to the trash.
To suspend Direct Dialup from using the phone temporarily, disable Direct Dialup at the current location in the Dialup Setup window or choose I’m at from the Special menu, then choose off-line from the pop-up menu.
To use the MNP 10 protocol, both your modem and the one you call must support the protocol.
If you are using a Macintosh IIfx, a Macintosh Quadra 900, or a Macintosh Quadra 950 and have the virtual memory turned on, you must open the Serial Switch control panel (included on the Direct Dialup Mail 3 disk) and change the serial port setting to Compatible.
