I have a friend whose Wallstreet was connected to the phone lines during a storm last year, whereupon the internal modem quit working. He's used an external ever since.
Recently I saw a Wallstreet modem on the Swap list and ordered it for him. I put it in, but could not get it to work. The profiler said at various times that "no Apple modem was found" or that "the modem is in use & no further info is available." Of course the modem was not in use in any way I could detect when it said this. It looks identical to his original modem, down to the plastic strip with the Canadian emblem on it. The modem itself says that it is a Powerbook GV 56K modem. Connected to the phone line, it would dial, but no dial tone was detected or heard (although one was present on the line, which worked fine for other computers) and no connection was made. Any ideas on this? Does it seem likely that some other component besides the modem is fried? TIA, Beverly -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
