A bit OT this but . . . I'd like to set up some common aliases that would automatically appear on the desktop of whichever user logged in to my OS 10.2 system. I innocently thought that as an Administrator I could drop them into the Desktop folder at the top level of the system drive window

On OS X, I always get the same result: modem error. The only sign that the system was accessing the modems was a light that flashed in the external modem. Otherwise I would think that no connection was taking place. There is a known bug in 10.2 that can cause this on some systems. See
