Hello--

I'm trying to re-install the driver and accompanying software
for our DoveFax modem on one of our NeXTs since upgrading the
OS to 3.0.  Running Installer.App on the original pkg file on
the floppy seems to do the right thing in terms of copying the
driver files into place.

But the problem occurs when I use the print manager to try to
add the modem.  I bring up print manager and select "Fax Modems".
The fax modem panel comes up blank.  I select "Create" and the
Create Panel comes up.  I use their suggested name: "Local_Fax_Modem"
(which is what the fax modem was named before).  I use the create
panel to configure the modem to my liking, then when I click "OK",
I get an error panel that says the modem already exists.  The
create panel then disappears, and the new entry never appears
in the list of fax modems.

I have used niutil -destroy to manually remove the entries referring
to entry this from the netinfo database.  I have also removed the
old spool directory: "/usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Fax_Modem" but I still
get the "already exists" error message.  I have also tried creating
the modem with another name (which works) then attempted to use
"modify" to name the modem what I really want, but this also doesn't
work--same error message.

It'd be possible (but major-ly inconvenient) for me to use a different
name.  I'd like to know what needs to be done (e.g. what entry from
what file or netinfo database needs to be removed or what directory
needs to be deleted) in order for the print manager to no longer
think that "Local_Fax_Modem" already exists.  I'd appreciate any
pointers (checked the FAQs and recent articles but did not find
any helpful information).  Thank you.
