I've had similar problems with conextant winmodems. Seems they work
best when installed with the original cd/software with win 98se. My
advice is to watch the sales, pick up a new modem (win98se compatible)
for $5-$10 (or free after rebates) and see what happens. I've spent
hours trying to install, reinstall, delete & reload drivers, etc.
Could also be a dead modem. Staples stores were clearing out US
Robotics external 56k modems a few weeks ago for about $22.
