I recently purchaed an A500 and am having serious problems getting
my modem to work on it (it's your standard hayes compatibles with rs232
connections).  I borrowed a serial cable from a friend who has a 1000
and plugged it into the back of the machine and ran a couple modem
programs (NComm and Access) neither of which recognizes that there
is anything modem like attached to the computer (NComm says 'modem
not responding' - Access says nothing at all)  I assume that i should be able
to enter straight hayes commands in either of these programs, however, 
nothing I type is echoed to the screen or the modem (none of the lights
flash which would give some hint that something is getting through)  A friend
mentions that i might be missing some files from the /lib directory on
my startup disk (I have a 20Mb drive).  Any ideas as to what they might
be?  Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated...
