Well, I have run out of options to fix this modem. I have come to the conclusion that the modem has some serious issues.
I was able to hook up and external modem and connect after turning off appletalk extension( it would not release he modem/printer port any other way. I did a clean install of the OS 8.1 installed all software updates I could find did evry extension variation possible. Whan I hook the modem through a analog data port on a multiline phone, the line light never comes on. It is not acessing the phone line (taking it off the hook to get dial tone.) So unless someone want to take this 280c off my hands. We can come up with a fair price. Laptop with no modem not very usefull to me anyway. I may try the digital picture frame remodel. It is a nice system even without the modem. Duo 280c OS 8.1 32 MB off ram 1 Gig(IBM DPRS-21215 1160 mb) drive (currently partioned into 2 equal part) 1 dead pixel Case is cosmetically almost perfect a few small scratches a couple of the keys stick a little but not too bad. the battery doesn't hold a charge for more than 2 minutes. It is a NiMH. I tried the battery recondition software but it would not work. There is no AC Adapter, I am using my 2400 adapter, I need to keep it. There are some on Ebay ($10) which I will need to get if I picture frame it. Thanks to all who tries to help.
