Special AT Command Settings for Mac

For operation with Mac computers, you may use the factory default
settings with one exception. You must set the modem to ignore the DTR
signal as follows.
Type:
AT&D0<enter> (set modem to ignore DTR)
AT&WZ<enter> (saves the settings to power-up profile)

Mac Serial Port

When you connect your modem to a Macintosh computer, make sure
the cable is a hardware handshaking type. These cables are readily
available. Macintosh Lisa model 128 and 512 don't have hardware
handshaking. The serial port on these (very outdated) models is
provided as a 9-pin connector similar to that of a PC. The serial port on
all other Macintosh models is a Mini-8.

Mac Software Tips

All terminal programs which make use of the hardware handshaking
feature can be used on the Apple Macintosh. Such programs are readily
available as PD, shareware or commercial software. One of the most
powerful shareware programs available is ZTerm.
Fewer programs are available to make use of the ZyXEL's fax features.
One program which has found wide acceptance is FaxSTF which can
be installed like a printer driver allowing you to send faxes from almost
