[comp.sys.mac] Mac II and Modem problem ?

irawan@mercury.cis.ohio-state.edu (hindra irawan) (11/04/88)

Hello there! I am having a problem, and it's a big one.

I have a Mac II (2 months old) and a moment ago it's just refuse to talk
to my modem.

System Setup:
- Mac II with 5 Megabytes (MacProduct USA upgrade)
- Mercury modem 1200AT
- System files : System update version 6.0

Problem:
- Everytime I typed on the keyboard the computer just freeze and dead
  no matter what software I use (uw, miniterm, redryder 9.4, kermit)

- At first I thought I'm having problem with the serial ports. I tried
  to print from both port (modem and printer port), they were OK! It prints
  fine from both port.

- I suspected the modem, but I set it up on different computer (Mac 512Ke,
  2M memory upgrade from MacMemory, System Version 4.3, I think), the modem
  works fine.

Could anybody please, pleeeeease help me! Anybody know what's wrong? 

BTW: There's no INIT in the system 5.0 setup.

I forgot to mention that when I try to change port (putting my modem on the
printer port) using Miniterm, it beeped at me and giving me this error:
    Can't open Appletalk
   error -97
