- Hello--
-
- I'm trying to re-install the driver and accompanying software
- for our DoveFax modem on one of our NeXTs since upgrading the
- OS to 3.0. Running Installer.App on the original pkg file on
- the floppy seems to do the right thing in terms of copying the
- driver files into place.
-
- But the problem occurs when I use the print manager to try to
- add the modem. I bring up print manager and select "Fax Modems".
- The fax modem panel comes up blank. I select "Create" and the
- Create Panel comes up. I use their suggested name: "Local_Fax_Modem"
- (which is what the fax modem was named before). I use the create
- panel to configure the modem to my liking, then when I click "OK",
- I get an error panel that says the modem already exists. The
- create panel then disappears, and the new entry never appears
- in the list of fax modems.
-
- I have used niutil -destroy to manually remove the entries referring
- to entry this from the netinfo database. I have also removed the
- old spool directory: "/usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Fax_Modem" but I still
- get the "already exists" error message. I have also tried creating
- the modem with another name (which works) then attempted to use
- "modify" to name the modem what I really want, but this also doesn't
- work--same error message.
-
- It'd be possible (but major-ly inconvenient) for me to use a different
- name. I'd like to know what needs to be done (e.g. what entry from
- what file or netinfo database needs to be removed or what directory
- needs to be deleted) in order for the print manager to no longer
- think that "Local_Fax_Modem" already exists. I'd appreciate any
- pointers (checked the FAQs and recent articles but did not find
- any helpful information). Thank you.
