After installing Gavriel State's wonderful CivHack extension which allows you to play Civilization on a PCI macintosh running System 7.5.2, I was disturbed to find that the program crashed with a type -10 error when the startup grpahic with the space scene started to scroll across the screen. After extensive fiddling with the Extensions Manager, I was able to trace the error to an incompatability with the "Global Village Toolbox" extension which comes with my Global Village Teleport Platinum modem. Simply uncheck the "Global Village Toolbox" extension in the Extensions Manager control panel, restart and the game will work. I have found that this extension is not necessary to use the TP Platinum as a modem, although it appears responsible for the ubiquitous Global Village pulldown that follows you around from app to app and is required for use of the Teleport Control panel. The modem continues to work fine with Zterm1.01. While I am sad to see the communications speed indicator go, I do not miss the way it obscures other pulldowns in other applications. Without the "Global Village Toolbox" extension, Apple Remote Access seems to still work. However, I cannot find the fax from the choser. Ian Ollmann
