Re: 520 PowerPort

[Donna Hood Pointer]

if you have software installed for the Palm PDA, it can tie up the 
serial port. See that the prefs in the palm Desktop and/or HotSync are 
NOT set to check if the cradle is plugged in. There is a setting to 
have that load at startup. It must be disabled.

            Can anybody tell me what it is I need to make a PowerPort
Mercury A540 for the 5xx books go? I'm pretty sure it is something I 
don't
have other than the modem init or Modem Description, but I may be 
wrong. I
have gotten the PPP and FreePPP dialers to get right down to dialing, 
but
they can't find the modem, I don't think. They keep on trying to 
initialize
the serial port.
Is the PowerPort software installed and correctly loaded? If the 
software
is there and does not detect a valid modem, you get a warning at 
startup.
If the software is not there, you are in the desert... Check if the
PowerPort control panel is there.

cheers, gianfranco
