HI,

It may not be a PC/modem problem.

May I suggest you remove all other telephone devices that may be on the
same line in other rooms and then try dialing out.  If it works, put the
other devices back one at a time till you find the "bad guy".

This is a solution to a similar problem, I had to do at a customers
house one day when I went out for a house call.

Turned out to be an answering machine in an other room that got zapped
the same time his modem did, but the answering machine still worked.

Thanks and have a Great Day!

Hi I hope I can explain this adiquately....
I am trying to connect to the internet using and AMD K6-2 Pocessor
running windows 98SE with 320MB RAM and 30gb Hard drive.... I have trid
using 3 different modems and 3 different ISP setups just to make sure it
is not the modem or the ISP.

What happens is as follows:
I click on dial... I hear the modem click and then dial...it finishes
dialing and then I get an error from the dialer... AOL says "Modem is
unable to make a connction". Another ISP says...No answer and the third
one says, unable to locate your modem (After I hear the modem dialing)

Can someone please help me narrow down what the problem could be or even
outrightly come up with a solution.

I tried the following modems:

1. Intel HAM 56K V92 Fax Voice Modem (PCI)
2. Intel 5687 V92 56K modem (PCI)
3. SimmSmart II V90 56k Modem (External)
