Re: modem problems

It's possible XP has installed 'generic' modem drivers which as 'dilligaf' says often don't work very well (if at all). Modems seem to be very sensitive to driver s/w.

One other thing..if you can pick up the phone on the same line as your PC's modem, press any button (to get rid of the dial tone) and listen for any noise or random crackling. Line noise can have odd effects.
