Global Village - The following information is verifiably true for MacPPP that is included in the Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh, Third Addition.

All Models: To force slower connect speeds, add +MS=11,1,,
example: +MS=11,1,2400,28800

Teleport GoldII - Init = AT&F&C1&D0 or AT&F1

Teleport GoldIIv - Init = AT&F1&C1&D0 or AT&F or AT&F1

Telport Platinum 288 - Init = AT&F1
Later revisions of the Platinum modem use AT&F or AT&F1 There is also a bug (with earlier chip revisions) that causes ConfigPPP to say "PPP" down even when connected. The later versions of the modem fix this problem.

Teleport Bronze - This is a 2400 baud modem AT&F is the proper init string. I have contacted Global Village and have been told that their database does not contain any information about flow control, and they wondered if I meant baud rate. Global Village technical support (at least those with whom I spoke on the telephone) is EXTREMELY incompetent - I wouldn't waste my time or money contacting them.

This is a note that I received from an Internet user on 2/11/97 concerning the GV Teleport Gold II...

had great success using init string: AT&F1&C1W1 set at 19,200 baud on the global village teleport gold II
