Hi,
Been out cruising to the Queen Charlottes and away for a while, but found a wireless buried on the west coast of Vancouver Island...
I've managed to get my SSB and Sailmail (via Parallels) working nicely since I left, but have one annoyance. When I boot Parallels, it comes up with a warning message something like "the USB hardware trying to connect to Parallels is already in use by another software; close that software and reboot" , referring to the USB Pactor Modem. If I reboot Parallels a few times the warning goes away and I'm connected. I cannot find any piece of software on the Mac that's trying to connect to the Pactor. As I finally get the Pactor connected to Parallels it's not critical, but is still an anoyance and shouldn't work that way. I've also missed a few critical weather fax broadcast trying to get the Pactor connnected to Parallels.
Thanks,
Scot
Note, I'm heading out of here tomorrow (Sunday August 5) so will again be offline for a while. Any help prior to that would really be appreciated.
