Re: [NTLK] PC slot on 2x00 no longer working

Of course I checked the phone lines. As I mentioned I was able to make the
PCMCIA modem cards work with a laptop. So I knew the modem cards and the
phone cables worked. Woo metioned the brain wipe so as SOON as I get my data
backed up, my screen replaced, and maybe get the new headers and the larger
engine in her, I'll try the brain wipe and see what happens.
Thanks

Do not give up that fast!
The crux with modem cards is the phone cable!
I assume you used the same cable for your unsuccessful tests ;-( If the
phone cable is not connected in a correct way the modem card will probably
not dial. So the first thing is to make sure that the phone cable is 100%
ok.

Cheers
Johannes
