161124 2003-07-22 05:40:00 Who knows? I got it from a dealer who was also a personal friend of the charity organisation I worked for, but that was four years ago. I used an Asian modem for the first couple of years, but that gave me so much grief I asked F1 and some kind soul suggested the problem was because it wasn't telepermitted. Bingo! Got a DSE modem and have had no trouble since...until now. sigh.

Note that now the problem seems more like a hardware one, with several/all of the COM ports not working properly. I've posted another message on the subject called "COM port confusion." I don't totally know if it's that, and will phone the only computer literate guy (so I'm told!) that works for Dick Smith in Hamilton, where I got the modem...see if that sheds any light.

Thanks for your help.
