I have one, it works great (G3, CommSlot II 10/100 Ethernet, Formac Proformance III video card, 2 monitors, FireWire/USB card, original TV tuner, remote, and more) The perfect Emailer machine (Emailer on 2nd monitor at all times). A bit noisy. >Since I couldn't figure out how to remove the Geoport (even after a look >at the 6400 Zone) Should be really easy : - 2 screws to slide open the motherboard drawer - remove the geo from the CommSlot II port (can't miss it: it's the thing with a telephone plug on the outside) - don't tighten the screws too hard when reinserting the drawer, some users had stability problems with G3 upgrade cards squeezed against other components (the 6400's case is much crowded) - remove all Geoport & Apple Telecom software (I don't have the list in mind, my 6400 is 1000 km away and I removed the geo long ago, besides I would have the french names) The 6400 Zone has all the info. If you can't find it then ask the guy, he's really nice. >"The connection attempt failed. The port may be in use by another Assuming you got every setting right (modem port, modem script, phone number, login/pass, TCP/IP settings), then it WILL work once you remove the Geoport modem and software : the thing bypasses the modem port when present (I don't remember if it's done in hardware or software, chances are you have to remove both, remember to save your voice messages and faxes if you used Apple Telecom). The modem port had a plastic cap on models with Geo modems, because you can't use both. You can still plug a modem into the printer port though. My choice was to replace the Geo with a CommSlot II Fast Ethernet adapter that won't take a PCI slot, and use the modem port for a SAGEM ISDN adapter (automatically shared over AppleTalk or Ethernet, cool). ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
