The junk it spit at you would be much more helpful at the moment ;-)

I understand your frustration with having something that doesn't work, but
before anyone can help you some critical information is required. Stuff
like hardware configuration is always useful in these cases. Where your
modem resides...things like that. Then the most important piece of
information is a clear description of just what happened, including the
error messages presented by the offending software. With this as a
starting point there begins to be a glimmer of hope that we will figure
out what the problem is.

Waiting is,
