I had a USR 56K external that was doing that very same thing. I fixed it by replacing it with another one. Do you sometimes get messages like; "The modem is not responding properly" and "The server is not responding properly"? See if you find a loaner to try in place of the Best Data 56K. That would be the easiest way to prove or rule out a hardware problem. Hardy Menagh, Hardsdisk Ltd., a branch of the Abandoned Computer Shelter.
