Scott, et al ...

If you're still out there, I could use some more advice re: getting 
my Duo 230 online ... I actually bought an internal modem for it 
so I don't have to carry anything extra while travelling ...

What control panels/drivers do I need to make it work?  Again, I'm 
running 7.6.1, but don't have *any* Remote Access, PPP or Open Transport 
software currently on the machine (I bought it used and it came with 
no system disks)

Also, I'd be willing to sign up for an Earthlink account provided 
I can access the Net from New York City (area code 718), Oakland/San 
Fran, CA (510 and 415) and Missoula, Montana (not sure of area code) 
.. Scott, are you out there?

Thanks again for the help

>I have a Duo 230 as well and I use OS 8.1 on it just fine. It has 
quite a
bit of memory which helps :)

The Sportster modem should work just fine and dandy. It will be noticably
faster than the internal 14.4, even with the slower computer.All 
you'd need
is to use Remote Access on 7.6.1 or 8.1, or FreePPP otherwise. I'd 
skip any
dialup software that any ISP gives you. I personally do tech support for
Earthlink, so I might be biased, but I've had very little trouble 
with the
dialup I've been using for years (I'm originally from the MindSpring 
side).
If you decide to go with Earthlink, feel free to e-mail me off-list 
and I'll
make sure there's a dialup number where you're going (Easiest thing 
would be
to give me the area code and city) and help you set up the thing.
The techs
here are pretty Mac friendly (We are the official ISP of Apple now) but
admittedly some are better than others with the older stuff. I happen 
to be
a Mac geek and own more older Macs than PCs :) Earthlink does have 
software
that would work on a 230, but unless you're a Mac newbie I don't 
see much
reason to use it.

Hope this helps :)
