I can download the file ok, but as I said, I unstuff it, and nothing 
happens that I can see. 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.
