Brian,

Just checking out everything that I may know:  It probably doesn't  
matter but in my "Express Modem" control panel I have checked the box  
on the bottom that says "use internal modem instead of modem port"

In the "modem control" panel, you should have connect via "internal  
modem" as you choice.  And then your choice should be for modem  
"Geoport/Express Modem."  Leave the sound on for awhile so you can if  
it's really dialing or if you are accidentally waking up some poor  
retired librarian. Dialing should most likely be "tone" unless your  
phones have a big round dial thingy on the front with several finger  
sized holes arranged in a circle ;-).  You may or may not want the  
modem to ignore dial tone.  Usually you don't ;-).

If you do reinstall the system software install the "internet set-up  
assistant" or something like that.  After you've formatted your  
partition and reinstalled the system software, the start up assistant  
will run automagically and one of it's last questions asks if you want  
to set for the internet.  As you might guess, say "yes" (or... er... um  
click yes) and input your dial-up and ISP settings as the assistant  
asks for them.  Sometimes this will get things working because  
everything has been cleared.  You can also run the internet set-up  
assistant by finding it on your hard drive or installing it from your  
System CD.


Hope that helps.  If none of that works and you've also tried  
reinstalling all the express modem software packages, you just may have  
a dead modem.  There is so little to these modems that they just last  
and last and last... long after you want them dead ;-)

Hey, I just remembered you need some sort of update to run this  
software with MacOs8.1 check with Apple's site or here:  (you may have  
to paste this URL back together)
