Now modem is working and everything is fine but after i have dialed in the modem continues to make this horrible screeching noise. I know that you can go into modem properties and stuff and turn the modem volume off but it still wont work. Somebody suggested that i should get a new modem. I think i should but would first like to get some suggestions. thanks alot	Jackal (2808)

In the system properties under device manager (WinKey+Pause/Break), Hardware, Device Manager select Modem and change the properties there. And there is also the properties for the dialup connection in Internet Explorer Properties (Internet Options, Connection and connection properties) If both checks are unmarked you could try a modem string but I've forgotten the command. Another option is to cut the speaker on the modem itself.	Kame (312)

You will need to install the correct driver for your modem. They are available from many sites, one is http://www.windowsxp-drivers.com/	Jim B (153)
