I recently lost the modem port on my Mac II; the port can receive, but it can't
transmit.  Of course, I got the same story from the repair techs.  Anybody know
a similarly simple fix?

By the way, if it costs $300 to replace a Mac II logic board, why is an upgrade
to a Mac IIx (consisting of a similarly simple board swap) seven times as much?
