Hi Faye,

I've just looked through the messages and seen some of the responses.
Another thing that might help you is to turn the modem feature off at
startup.  This is pretty simple (I can do it).  If you go to start, run and
then type msconfig you get into the configuration files.  There you will see
a tab called startup. up it and scroll down until you find your modem
connection.  Un-check or un tick the box and click apply.

After you have done this the modem will not run on start up and it will save
your stressing about it.

Yours Rhiannon & Colin

PS Happy New Year :)
