Global Village Modem “Busy Serial Port”
Resetting modem in TelePort Control Panel gives message: “The current port is busy and cannot be opened. Quit any open communication application, or turn off AppleTalk in the Chooser (if the modem is connected to the Printer port), and then reopen the TelePort control panel.”
Here’s an alternative fix that doesn’t require GlobalFax 2.5.2P Update:
1Replace corrupted control panel in System Folder with uncorrupted copy of TelePort Control Panel found in Control Panels folder on backup CDs.
2Set AppleTalk to “Active” and select LocalTalk as the AppleTalk Connection in Network Control Panel.
