Hi,
        To answer question #1, I had the same problem with a different motherboard.
It required a BIOS update and then it worked fine, might be the same for you
(fic's homepage is http://www.fic.com.tw (for Taiwan) or http://www.fica.com
(for US))  As to the modem problem, have you tried calling the Motorola tech
support number?  If it is listed as having a 205 area change it to a 256.  I
used to work at the plant that makes them, and the tech support people are
pretty good.

Subject: [PCBUILD] FIC mobo & modem disconnect


1) bootup screen shows AMD 400MHz CPU...I think this is wrong jumpers, but
he swears he triple checked them and they are correct.  Is it possible only
the report is wrong but the setting is actually 450MHz, or are the jumpers
wrong?
2) the modem connects fine, but kicks off after, say, 5 to 50 minutes.
Newest drivers extended this from 5 to 15 minutes.
