I have a Duo 280 with an internal Express Modem, which I operate sans dock, for on-the-road email, only. Recently, I�ve been seeing an odd happening when I attempt to go online. It goes like this: The modem dials normally and the familiar modem tones and �squelch� sounds appear. But, instead of connecting, a box appears saying: �Unable to connect to a remote modem.� I hit �Okay� and a second box appears saying: �Invalid Port Name.� Hit �Okay,� go back to square one and repeat the dial-up procedure. Oddly, the venerable and faithful 280 invariably effects an online connection on the second go-around. But it is annoying to have to go thru the procedure a second time. As background, the Modem Panel is set for �Internal Modem� and the Express Modem panel is set for �Use Express Modem.� Any/all advice appreciated.
