Your modem should be the Global Village PowerPort Mercury model, if your PowerBook is a U.S. Model. When I got my 540 used, I couldn't get the modem to work. apparently someone had done a clean OS install and deleted the modem software. I managed to find the disk images for the modem. If you need them I can email the images to you. I hope no one sees this as piracy, since the software is obsolete, not supported by GV anymore, and not available on their site.
