I have struck occasional conflicts with your model and by substituting an Agere modem all comes right.

Being a PCI Winmodem, its about 95% certain to be a hardware issue. They make a satisfying "clunk" when they go in the rubbish bin though.

Pentium, I am pretty much past the point of Uninstalling it and trying the software that came with it ;). Might try the Agere suggestion if its worked for you though, thanks.

GF, my thoughts exactly, i thinks its a piece of rubbish that deserves to be in the rubbish :D.

Pentium, i think perhaps i misinterpretted your post? Did you mean you physically just replaced it with an Agere? Or you installed this modem as an Agere and it worked????

Cheers :)
