I also have a minidock problem. I can take my Duo 2300 and use the internal express modem and connect the telephone line to the computer and get my connection to the ISP (earthlink). When I do nothing else but attach the minidock and then plug the telephone line into the minidock telephone connection, I get 'modem does not get a dial tone' I took this to be a defective minidock (it's the apple full minidock) but does anyone have another idea? Thanks John Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
