130414 2003-03-24 04:35:00 I get no dial tone on my modem on the phone connection but get one on the line connection but this interferes with my land line phone ringer.I am running XP and have uninstalled and reinstalled my modem but XP can not find a modem and i have to install it manually.

Does the modem stop the phone ringing? I'm not clear what the problem is. ;-)

The "phone" socket is disconnected on some modems when the computer has a connection with the line. Therefore you are unlikly to get dialtone from a line plugged into "phone" hole.
