Hi,

I think, if am correct in understanding that you have tested the same modem, leads, etc. with another essentially / entirely / operationally identical PC [or the same PC] on a BT line and all works fine where it fails on your NTL phone line, then it may be some subtle difficulty on the NTL line.

You could try manually overiding the connection paramters of the modem so it will connect at a lower, more traditionally and theoretically stable speed and standard V.32bis 33.6k rather than the modem trying to use one of the 56k standards, and this should help confirm for you where the problem lies. To do this you will have to change the initialisation strings for your modem using the appropriate AT commands.

Best wishes,
