this is just from my bad memory, but I seem to remember a problem with some 56k 3com modems (I don't have a 3 com myself so I barely remember this) about certian chips having a problem about like you describe..... must have been in the list... my guess is about the time 7.1 came out tho... have you all searched the archives way long ago (when your modem was new) for mention of your model modem? that old archives might have disappeared. I think it gets cured by flashing the modem, but like I say, it's spring here, and my mind ain't what it used to be.... at least with this neighbor teenager skating back in forth in front of the house in her bathing suit. <grin>
