It changes from .hqx to .sit when dropped on 'Expander', but when I drop the .sit file on Expander, nothing happens except that I get the flying dotted boxes from the window. There is no new modem listed, or folder created. What system are you using? I'm using 8.1. I was able to connect using another modem with the corresponding modem script that was available on the Manufacturers website, and that worked fine. But I would like to be able to use the Swann modem if possible. >David > >pedro wrote: > > > >>Bill Dixon wrote: >> >> >> >> >>>On 3/3/05 1:15 PM, in article >>>SquVd.181752$K7.123355@news-server.bigpond.net.au, "pedro" >>><pedro@nowhere.com> wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>>I'm thinking that I will connect then.
