Ah Ha! These comments are right down my alley. I rushed over to check the data on the modem we scrounged up last summer in KC (Thanks, Howard) to see if it was GlobalVillage...it is. And it has an AC adaptor. Figured that when I had time, I would need to figure out what to tell the II-GS so that it would go and find the modem. So far, I havn't figured out what to try next. Data on the modem is: TelePort 56 Vax/Modem, Model A824...Reqd.Conn USOC RJ-11C...GlobalVillage, Sunnyvale. Does this thing need some sort of driver? Software? Code or keyboard input? Are any of your modems accompanies with instrution sheets? Manuals? Thanks, Keith
