Some old //c's, as you have discovered, have problems with their
serial port when attaching a non-Apple modem.

If you take your //c to an Apple dealer with proof of purchase of
a non-Apple modem, they should swap you for a logic board that
does not have this problem for no charge.

Don't know what version of the logic board you will wind up with,
though (you may get the newer ones, with the RAM option, so your
'slots' will be shuffled around a bit).
