Civilization crashes with GV Teleport modem

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.
