I obviously wasted my time posting to you in another Yahoo Group, but that aside why did you change the modem? How did you identify that your previous modem was faulty? Consider this your machine is a Dell, therefore there is a strong chance that you had a proprietary modem. If so your PC will not allow the replacement with just any old modem. Its not a case of whether your modem is XP, but Dell compatible?
