The first thing to know is what system version you are using, because 
some problems occur with Open Transport and Mac TCP, and PPP.

Try to let me know what kind of system you're using, if you're using 
system 7.5.2. or system 7.5.3. you might encounter problems, you might 
then use TCP/IP instead of MacTCP, and Free PPP instead of PPP, both can 
be found on the Net. But anyway Geoport is shitty in communication 
simulations...

If you need any further help feel free to let me know...

Regards.
David.
