Why, this is OS 9 after all. Reinstallation disproves everything in the
OS and takes 5 active minutes of my time and can be rolled back in even
less. Anyway, it didn't help, so you were right.

Yes, we decided this was the best alternative now including contacting
the phone company. Especially as the modem maker have gone out of
business. My mother can't afford the $80 that the modem creating app
(forgot the name) costs that possibly could help in that department. So
I'll have to search on.
