A few days ago I posted a message regarding a problem I was having with the modem port of my Mac SE. When I tried to run Versaterm, it gave me an error about how the modem port was in use and so it couldn't use it. A later posting stated that this is because of the MIDI/Chooser bug - something caused by using the chooser while running a program that uses the MIDI manager. And the solution posed was sort of haphazard- although I got a variation of it to finally fix the problem: open and close the chooser once while in your MIDI program. This did finally work, but only after I'd tried a lot of other things- including booting off a totally different system (disconnecting the old one), running the comm. program off the original copy, and even resetting the PRAM (not to mention multiple power on/offs). The QUESTION I have is: Where was this information that the modem port was busy stored???? -- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Peter Commons "Zut, alors!
