Dear friends: Thanks to Ramon's wonderful analysis of modems, I was able to quickly figure out what my problem is: My CNET faxmodem is a cheapie that has the dreaded Cirrus Logic chip that Ramon talks about. He says that the Cirrus Logic chip is even worse than Rockwell's crap. Boy, that really hurt! :-) So, it's out with the old, and in with the new. I am returning my CNET modem and have just ordered a U. S. Robotics ext. 56k faxmodem from Egghead ($117 includes free UPS). All my thanks, Ramon.
