My 540 has a powerport mercury 19.2 modem. The comuter reconizes the modem, but when I try to connect, I get modem in use or couldnt initilize port error, depending on what software or os I try. It this the modem shot? Geoff

It's problably an application opened.Have you a monitor for your modem.No driver is necessary to make a connection with your modem.

You might also see if another application or service is using the serial port (IIRC, the Powerbook 520 has only a single serial port?). Appletalk or a printer are the most likely culprits that might block access to the port and cause the offending messages.
Good luck,
