Hi Dr. Gensberg, et al, Hmm. After reading your letter about the modem problems being unique to the wallstreet, I tried my old powerbook 1400, with a PC card modem (global village 56k) and ... it worked. Not only did the global village modem connect, it connected at a faster rate (52000 vs. 46 to 48000 at best on the wallstreet internal) but it was a reliable connection as well.
So, there is something smelly here. I'm going to try a replacement modem for the wallstreet, but something is gnawing at me that says it might be something in the "system". I'm running OS 10.2.2 on the wallstreet (and 9.1 on the powerbook 1400), and darn it, one thing I hate about the OS X is that you just don't have access to tweaking control panels and stuff like that like you used to in OS 9 and 8. I don't know enough about the OS X to know if there are 3rd party extensions and system tweaks, but it does seem to be a more "spare" experience. very elegant, though, and I love the transparent windows.
