¡Help!  The connection to my provider is constantly being cut off
and/or can't dial. Here are the facts:

- Aspen/Sierra V.34/SQ3456 internal/Win95B/Spanish/Cyrix200+/Award
Bios 4.51PG

- On rare occasion Plug and Pray can't find modem

- Sometimes Dial-up doesn't find modem installed or out of service or
doesn't receive response from modem, won't dial.

- Modem diagnose shows modem on Com 3, but Com 3 doesn't appear on
list of System/Com ports. Re-installing sometimes changes it to Com 4,
which also doesn't appear on Com list.

-Modem/diagnose/more info shows OK sometimes, and can't open port
other times. Sometimes diagnose is fine at the same time Dialup can't
find modem.

- If initial connection with IP fails, Dial-Up shows modem in use by
other program, have to reboot to dial up again. Waiting/cancelling
Rnaap doesn't help.

- Call waiting is disactivated, have tried re-seating card and
changing slot.

Don't really want to buy another modem yet..... any ideas???
Took an hour to get enough cooperation to send this message.

Thanks in advance,
Michael Beechey,

Sucre, Bolivia
