I guess my mileage does vary ;-) I have never connected at any speed but 14.4 with my Global Village in my 280c.(see below) I also do have a startup problem every time I switch from being in the Duo Dock II to not being in the dock (but using the AC adapter) and to not being in the dock (using battery power only). The problem is this, whenever power up the first time aftermaking the switch... I get the memory problem chimes (4 ascending followed by 4 descending tones). The solution is simple, just press conrol-apple-power and she fires up and works great until the next time it is put in or removed from the dock as described above. I have never known if this is due to the modem except it started when I installed the modem. I never tried removing the modem to see if that would cure it, as it is not a problem, but rather a minor nuisance. My 14.4 as opposed to 19.2 connection speed might be due to the following info I found on Kim Brennen's site: Powerport Mercury - This was Global Village's own modem, a v.32terbo modem capable of 19.2kbps. V.32terbo was a mildly supported propiatary extension to the v.32bis protocol. Some v.34 modems (especially those from USRobotics) support v.32terbo. If the remote modem doesn't support v.32terbo the Mercury works like a v.32bis modem (aka 14.4kbps.) Greg __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
