Have you got any extension lead's to your phone?
Have you updated your drivers for your modem?

150543 2003-06-07 06:39:00 I am with freenet and XTRA, yes I am using an extension lead from my modem to the phone line as i dont have a phone line in my room . It is in a double socket with another modem going into it . That modem has no problems, is on an old IBM Aptiva SQ1 . . the first ones of those .

My modem drivers are up to date i believe .
