I finally got both my LC 575 and 580 up and running properly thanks to all of the help from you guys The LC 575 is currently up at my technical college for some major dusting. While I was up there, I found an old dial-up modem. Since I'm cursed with dial-up at home, I thought maybe I could hook this sucker up to my 580 before it gets a good dusting too.
It's a US Robotics 56k Faxmodem. The fact it's called a Fax modem throws me off a bit, but I'm determined to try. I started up my 580 with the modem attatched to the SCSI port, but the mac didn't start up all the way (it did the start up chime, then just went to the grey background with the curser and stayed there. I don't even think it did the happy mac).
I'm about to try again with the phone cables hooked up this time to see if that makes a difference. Is there some special process i need to go through for it to work? I've never worked with an old dial-up modem, and the only networking I've done was with Windows. So, any advice would be great
