Go to control panels, modems, and click on Apple Internal 56k modem version 34. This will slow your connection down but should solve your connection problems. Worked for me. I heard the cause was static on the analog line, mine is 30 yards from the phone jack to the iMac. I rarely got over 42,000 with the version 90, and now get about 32,000. It is slower, noticably, but not getting cut off every few minutes is a blessing. I was actually able to download a bit of free software from the Apple site, a first in 2 years of owning this machine, after slowing the connection. I hope to be moving up to cable soon... -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
