Hope I can get back here with the TF 5.7.x I just d/l’d. 5.6.x just crashed
instead of logging on. And there was no Apple Internal modem selection in
the list. Nor could I edit the init strings, clicking the “OK” button just
sounded a beep. Could also just be it needs more memory, seems like each
new version of the OS has the same warning, “you may need to increase the
memory in the Info window...” We’ll see...

And then, after fighting the phone comapny (again!) I decided to use the
520 to log into the company BBS and guess what I find. Modem Port not
available! When (and where) did it go!? Nor could I print anything! Seems
the printer has dissapeared from Chooser (again!). A simple restart gets
the modem port back.

Not so fast, GI for the printer! Several restarts, cable swaps, reinstall
of printer s/w but still no printer in Chooser. I can mount the iMac on
the 520, as well as the OS8 CD (thank goodness!), so I know the ethernet
works. This is exactly the same problem I had at the very beginning; the
Chooser simply couldn’t “see” the printer, UNTIL 4 DAYS LATER it just
shows up! Been there ever since, till sometime after yesterday morning!

Any ideas would certainly be appreciated, PLEASE!

Jim, the Bus driver
