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.
