Good Idea but the only person I know with a computer likely has a winmodem
and I already have 2 of those and I think the problem is deeper than the
modem. Of course I cant prove it but there is somthing not right and I cant
put my finger on the difficulty too many things just happen and logic just
dosent permit that. There is a cockroach in this system and I had hoped to
find it by fixing the basic problems first. Dont forget when I installed
this modem and put the case back together. Turned on power windows booted
and dialed my ISP. No install no hassel of any kind, the modem cant be
totally at falt.

Hoyt
