Hi Guys,

     I have an internal Acer 33.6 modem which worked fine till yesterday.
     Yesterday while cleaning I must have accidentally pulled the telephone
     line loose from the modem. Will this in anyway fry the modem ?. The
     computer was on by the way. The problem is, immediately after that my
     windows 95 wouldn't recognise the modem.

     This is what I tried :

     So I tried to remove and reinstall the modem, No go.

     I removed the modem and reseated the modem , tried a diffrent slot
     still the same problem. It would not recognise the modem. It would
     come back with the message "could not open port".

     I tried a DOS based diagnostic software, it recognises the two comm
     ports but fails to recognise the modem.

     Is there any way to tell for sure that my modem is truly dead ?.

     Thanks,
     Shrini.
