Let this issue die. I'll go as far as saying that if you have a modem
that connects with your ISP (whom is the best people to as since they'll
have dealt with numerous modem problems already) then stick with it. Make
sure you use the same INIT string that you currently use, and if the modem
is one recommended by your ISP ask them what the recommended INIT string
is. I've worked in the support dept for many ISPs and each had problems
with different modems. Some with USR's, some with IBM modems, etc.. You
get the picture. As long as the modem does not have any hardware
defects/faults and is recommended by your ISP then it should work.
Enough said.
