Hey Duo Listers.  I published this on the List a few
days ago but have had no replies and know there is
someone out there with the needed expertise.  How
about some help....I'm heading for the Old Country and
would like to get this problem squared away before
taking off.  Thanks.  jkc
----------------------

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 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
