I think your problem is Open Transport. You shouldn't be using it with OS9. With OS9 you use TCP/IP.
If that doesn't fix it for you you can try swaping hardware. Like swaping out the HD from the one machine with the other to see if it's a hardware issue. I'm running 9.04 on my 2300, but I've not used the modem with it, just ethernet via the ultradock. -Rob- On Friday, July 12, 2002, at 11:11 PM, younkin wrote: > Hello listers- > > I'm new to this list and am the owner of two 2300 Duos.
