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.

JKC
