Ricochet Modem Scripts is a set of two Modem Scripts for Ricochet modems (both for the original 28kbps and the new 128kbps modems). Modem Scripts are used with "Apple Remote Access" (ARA 2.0, 2.1), "Open Transport/PPP" (OT/PPP) and Remote Access 3.x.

The advantages of these scripts over the Ricochet script provided by Apple are:
• The 128k version sets the serial port to maximum speed, which is 230400 bps.
• Disconnect (hangup) is faster
• The 28k version can even reset the modem at the beginning of a call when it is still online from a previous connection (which can happen if your computer had crashes and was hard-reset). This could probably work in the 128k script, too, but I did not find the time to implement and test that yet. Let me know if you need that feature for the new modem, too.
