Thanks to everyone for all your help!!! I finally went down and bought another kind of modem just so I could decide if it was my cyclades card, cables, modem or ppp/getty setup that was the cause of my week in "Dialup Hell"(tm). Hooked up the other modem, turned it on, set it to ATS0=1 and tried to dial in and it connected perfectly first try. I've had 6 other people try to dial in (some from 2000 miles away even) and all of them were able to connect great (except one 14.4 modem that Zoom didnt seem to like). That is enough to convince me that the Sportsters (at least the 8 I have) are the problem. The modem I got to test with was a Zoom, I've heard they arent very widely compatible and have other problems and I didnt get it because that's what I intend to use, I got it because that was the only external available here locally besides Sportsters. So does anyone have any other suggestions (besides Couriers, I'm checking into pricing on those, but not sure if I can afford them, if I can that will most likely be what I go with)? I know that opinions on what modems to use vary greatly, but I would like to hear any problems/successes any of you have had with certain ones so I will know which ones to definitely avoid and which ones to check into. Thanks, Susie
