My 280c modem is acting up. Upon connection, it will identify the modem and dial the server number there is the usual static interaction but that is as far as it goes. After a while, a message will pop up that "a connection was established but it was not a reliable connection and was terminated". Sometimes it will ask for my password but will eventually give the same results. My desktop mac and my PC will both hook up with no problems so it seems that there is no problem with the lines or the provider. I was told by the provider tech that "the modems in those old macs die after a while". Is this true, is my modem shot? Tried a backup 14.4 internal modem with even worse results.
