Checking Your Apple Modem Tool Version
To check what version of the Apple Modem Tool that Works is using, do the following:


 * 1) Open the hard drive and then the System Folder.
 * 2) In the System Folder, open the Extensions Folder.
 * 3) Look for the Apple Modem Tool in the Extensions folder. Click the tool once to highlight it.
 * 4) On the File Menu, click Get Info.
 * 5) This window shows the version of the Apple Model Tool.

If the current version is not 1.1.1, remove the Apple Modem Tool from the Extensions folder, and reinstall the Communications portion of Works from the install disks.
