just got a duo

[Steve Sharpe]

Hello, as the title implies, I just became the proud owner of a Duo 
280c over the weekend, so I thought I'd sign up for this list to get 
some information about them.

The machine seems to be in good shape overall, but for two problems.

First, the battery is dead. Can anyone point me in the direction of a 
source for a new battery? How much can I expect to pay for one?

Second, I cannot seem to get online with it. The modem does not seem 
to work. I do not know if this is a hardware or software problem. 
 From the settings that were on the machine when I acquired it, I'd 
say the previous owner had been using an external modem...which makes 
me suspect that the internal one is dead. However, comparing the 
extension set and other software with my powermac 6500, it looks as 
if some of the software for controlling the modem has been deleted. I 
have upgraded to OS 7.5 in hopes that the missing software would be 
reinstalled but that has not happened (without a dock I am limited to 
installing over an Appletalk network, which prevents me from doing a 
complete install).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
