OK. I got the modem working. It wasn't a driver issue, but another kind of files I had to install from the OS CD. I forget the name of them and can't look them up because I'm at the local library doing e-mail because I still have problems. If you-all will allow me....
I'm getting this 6400/180 running OS 8.1 online for the first time since I've had it. On the OS CD were IE 3.0 and Claris E-mailer Lite. I've got 2 main problems: Explorer launches and will do one of two things. It will either begin loading the startup page and then abrubtly quit the program(sometimes it will load the first one and then quit when loading the next selection), or it will load OK, but any attempt to click in the file menu instantly causes a quit. As soon as I can get this to work, I will download something more up-to-date, but I've got to get it to run long enough to do that first. Actually, the first time I launced Explorer, I was able to go to the iCab site and downloaded iCab. But when I decompressed iCab with MacLink Plus, there was nothing inside the folder! I guess IE 3.0 just wasnt up to the task? Problem #2. Claris Emailer lite does not seem to communicate over the connection. I have filled in all the information I could find places for in Internet config, PPP and TCP/IP control panels, Emailer preferences, etc, but telling it to make a connection (which is the only command I can find to get it to send or check for mail) results in a little window saying it is checking, but with no other evidence that anything happens. Any impartation of wisdom will be very appreciated. In the meantime thanks for "listening" Gary -----Forwarded Message----- From: Gary & Jamie Witmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Apr 4, 2005 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: 6400 intenal modem Hi, I have a Performa 6400, 180 mhz, with what to all appearances is an internal modem card. It is in the comm slot and has a port that accepts a phone plug. However, the modem control panel (OS 8.1) does not give me any options except printer and modem ports, and the computer does not seem to see this card. Any clues as to what I need to do to make this operational? Thanks, Gary -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
