No I don't have many fonts in the Fonts folder. I have mysteriously solved the problem. I installed a Farallon Ethernet Card and updated OS 8.5 to 8.6 and it now boots in less than 1.5 minutes. I still don't have a serial port but am connected to my network via apple talk using the Ethernet.

Bob, I've had the serial port go bad several times on my 2400, and also intermittent. Most of the time, it was a hardware problem and was repaired by swappingng out the I/O board, by AppleCare or DT&T. Of course, it is difficult to know whether a serial port problem is hardware or software. To

[Duo2400] Re: 230 Printer

Do you have an internal Apple Express Modem in your 230? If so, open the Express Modem control panel and look in the lower left hand corner. Click on "Use internal modem instead of modem port." Close the control panel and the port should be available. ===
