Something about 8.6 causes the PRAM to become corrupted, at least on a
2300c. I have zapped PRAM more times than I can remember since installing
8.6 Sometimes it happens after a crash and other times it just happens
randomly, usually indicated by the sound going off for no reason. Mine has
been as likely to suffer this in the DuoDock as as undocked, so I do not
thing dock state is the issue. I am really growing weary of this particular
problem. Any solutions from anyone?

> Hi,

> Could some one enlighten me.
> I have a 2300c that I just installed 8.6 on. The computer works
> normally when connected to its mini dock, with the exception of having to
> open the Global Village control panel to set the configure select to the
> normal position each time I use the external modem, which is most of the
> time. The real problem starts undocked. The apple modem control panel will
> not recognize the 2300's combined serial port. I'll either not have a port
> selection, or it will give me the choice between internal, or modem port.
> Not printer/modem port which is normal undocked. I've done all of the normal
> maneuvers to try to remedy this problem such as,selecting normal in the
> config as I stated above, resetting pram, deleting preferences, turning off
> apple talk, gone as far as removing the GV modem control panel/extensions,
> rebuilding the desktop, so on. Is there a quirk in 8.6 with respect to the
> 2300 or am I missing something. I didn't have this problem with my 3400
> (also with a combined printer/modem port). Could it have something to do
> with the global village software. I'm using version 2.5.5. Then again the
> problem exists even when I remove the software from the system.
> I've always been able to resolve this problem with the duo's in earlier
> systems but not this time.
