"Does Juno require any of their own software, or is it just vanilla PPP using just the built-in OSX networking?"
To date all my work has been at my home using my broadband connection or dial-up connection. I've not done any checks at the lady's house. I did check Juno's site and concluded that they did require special software, although the info seemed very dated with references to OS9 not OSX. Then I talked to a friend that uses them and was told they did not require special software. However the friend is not computer affluent and had his kids set up his Windows computer.
"On some of the Mac models, I think there were a few different modem scripts that would apply to the modem that may give better reliability. I seem to recall being able to chose a modem script that would disable the v.90 protocol and use v.34."
I'll try some of the different scripts available. Thanks for the suggestion.
'When you talk about crashes, exactly what is crashing? Are you running 10.3.9 with all updates applied? Any third party software (like from Juno?)"
Safari crashes and occasionally the Panther locks up.
Panther has all updates applied and no third party software is applied. No Juno
My ISP for the dial-up is Syracuse.net whom I've used previously with satisfactory results.
