For what it's worth, I had to fix the set-up on a friend's Powerbook 1400,
with 7.6.1. with a GV Powerport card. OT/PPP would always show that "the
port may be in use by another program". In the end the only thing that
fixed it was to go through the extensions and remove anything remotely to
do with Faxing. I just left the necessary minimum of GV and Apple modem
extensions. It seems to work.

The modem control panel is still in there and functioning. It's just the
Fax extensions that seemed to be messing things up.

Sorry, without actually pigging away in the Powerbook I don't have the
details; I think that my subconscious is trying to protect me from
recurring horror by repressing the memories.
