Okay  Ipalyed with some modem setting and extensions.
If i run just OS 8.1 base setting, basically turns off
the apple telecom software(voicemail faxes etc.) also
turns of the express modem control panel. The modem
now shows up in powerbook setup it did not before.

When i try to dial up I get an error message, the port
may be in use ETC. appletalk is inactive just in case.

I have trashed pereference and all relevant setting.
Restarted and still get the error message. Bad
modem????
I am going to try the GV software and see what
happens.

Next step is a reinstall of the OS.

Brian
