Roger and Brian,

I am not  sure that you can use the Global Villiage software to run 
Apple's global express modem.  I haven't tried to do it but I think GV 
software only  goes with GV modem.

I just snooped around on my 280 with an express modem and it says that 
the modem "auto detects" whichever country settings to use.  If I were 
you, I'd yank the express modem preferences out of the system folder 
and restart the computer.  After that hook your computer to the phone 
line and input all your settings again and then try dialing up your ISP.

If that doesn't work, let us know and we'll blindly suggest other stuff 
:-).  BTW, the express modem and software is pretty close to black 
magic... it is difficult to set up and operate and many times it just 
does whatever the hell it wants (Don't try the auto answering stuff, 
answering machine software or the fax stuff unless you have a few days 
to try to get it working and love a HUGE challange).  If you can find 
the GV software and modem, it's worth the trouble to install the modem 
and software.

good luck,

Randy
