Re: Modem issues with 540c
Been following this thread. Nothing specific, but this is what works on my PB540c/32/500/OS7.6.1/GV PP500 Mercury 19200 Control Panel - Powerport 500 v 2.08 Extension - Powerport 500 Tool v 2.08 FreePPP v2.62 Other than an occasional dropped connection everything works fine.

The 540c's running MacOS 8.1. I've got a 8.1 540c with a GV powerport mercury, and I've been having the same symptoms. I've found that if I click connect again after getting the in use notice, I get a different error message-- this one about not getting the correct response from the modem- please check connections. Oh yeah-- it's not too difficult to check what kind of modem it is, if you're careful and have a #8 torx screwdriver. The modem card is underneath the memory expansion card, which is underneath the middle metal cage underneath the keyboard. Two screws, a bit of fiddling, and you're there. Mine was marked on the top. I've tried the express modem software recommended by the person with the swell name (Dana, but not me) but my startup freezes on the express modem extension. I looked around a bit on the web, and apparently my mercury is a software modem, meaning that it uses the 540c processor to handle the regular modem tasks-- so it needs pretty specific software to run it. Global Village Fax Center 2.5.5, I think. It'll probably slow programs down a bit. I have an external modem that works, but it would be nice to be able to use the internal modem once in a while-- even at 19.?k. -- Dana (a different Dana) Rottach [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Modem issues with 540c
Your modem should be the Global Village PowerPort Mercury model, if your PowerBook is a U.S. Model. When I got my 540 used, I couldn't get the modem to work. apparently someone had done a clean OS install and deleted the modem software. I managed to find the disk images for the modem. If you need them I can email the images to you. I hope no one sees this as piracy, since the software is obsolete, not supported by GV anymore, and not available on their site.

Modem issues with 540c

Re: Modem issues with 540c
Try other modems, especially with Express in their names, or try the Global Village Platinum or Bronze modem settings. These worked for me on 230s and 100 series as well as 5300s. Maybe Apple used another. Also, check modem scripts or other modem extensions. I needed an Express Modem extension to make modems work on my 230s. Good luck.
