Remembering my PCMCIA modem

Hi all, On of the annoying things about my 3400 is that whenever I boot it without my PC Card modem inserted, the modem control panel automatically sets the modem port to the Infrared port, so I have to reset it the next time I go to use the modem. This happens even though I don't touch the

Thanks everyone for the advice, I think I'll stick to 8.6, I don't think I could cope with 9.1 if it's going to be slower. Adam. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon PowerShot Digital

I'll second that. I run OS 9.1 on a 3400/240 with 144MB RAM. It's not noticably slower than OS 8.6 if at all but definitely takes a wad more RAM. A little care with what control panels and extensions you load will pay off if you need to be spare with RAM, otherwise, by all means migrate to OS
