I second that, I had a PowerBook Duo and the Power board/modem were on the same module with a regular phone jack type connector. Foreign versions of the Duo used a different modem/powerboard with a serial type port that required an external converter dongle, for the different standards in each country. If I recall it was a14.4bps Global Village OEM. GV may have also made an internal upgrade to 19.6bps only in the US, but no one else ever did.
Also, depending on what Mac the modem is being used on, could affect the GV software. The serial handshake data line changed a lot in the early Macs. Some had it, some didn't and some only supported it in a limited way. You don't mention what Mac you're using it on, so there may be compatibility problems with the software and the hardware. > From: Stuart Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On 15 Jul 2005, at 09:09, Geraint Searle - Mac ((Yahoo)) wrote: > >> Has anyone any Ideas ?
