I don't know about yoru model, but on the older USR external modems (ca. 14,400) there was a bank of DIP switches somewhere on the modem and one or two of the switches had to be reset for it to work on a Mac. Oh, are you sure you have the proper hardware handshake modem cable? Jeff Walther -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
