Good job. Enjoy!

Files with the name iexplore.exe have been used for several worms as 
well as a legitimate and necessary Microsoft file.
See  http://www.pcreview.co.uk/startup/iexplore.exe.php  There are 
several other sites that I found that also mention this problem.

Make sure your AV is up to date and run a complete scan. Also, I saw 
mentioned that AdAware can catch some problem uses of iexplore.exe. 
Can't hurt to run a scan with that and Spybot Search & Destroy.

Also, run MSCONFIG and make sure there is no instance of iexplore.exe in 
the startup list.

The Microsoft knowledge base also has a few items dealing with 
iexplore.exe problems that you might want to review.

As to the modem, my folks are still on dial up and the highest speed 
I've seen on their connection is 44.4 K. As you mentioned, a lot depends 
on the condition of the phone lines. The two issues are likely just a 
coincidence.
