I found that Express Modem software unstable, in fact it stopped working. Thanks to someone on the list for telling me about a better option, IMHO.Any help would be appreciated Brian

but you could also try different modem settings as that one is fursure not it.
Roger and Brian,
I am not sure that you can use the Global Villiage software to run Apple's global express modem. I haven't tried to do it but I think GV software only goes with GV modem.
I just snooped around on my 280 with an express modem and it says that the modem "auto detects" whichever country settings to use. If I were you, I'd yank the express modem preferences out of the system folder and restart the computer. After that hook your computer to the phone line and input all your settings again and then try dialing up your ISP.
If that doesn't work, let us know and we'll blindly suggest other stuff :-). BTW, the express modem and software is pretty close to black magic... it is difficult to set up and operate and many times it just does whatever the hell it wants (Don't try the auto answering stuff, answering machine software or the fax stuff unless you have a few days to try to get it working and love a HUGE challange). If you can find the GV software and modem, it's worth the trouble to install the modem and software.
good luck,
Randy
