Al -
It's an 80 kbps stream - that's probably way too much for a modem.
Most 56k modems deliver about 48 max on a good connect.
Try your player w/this URL:
http://audio.macromedia.com/samples/classic.swa
(It delivers a 16 kbps stream & therefore should play even in the hinterland.)
BTW you can get your client's pipe tested from:
"Test Your Connection Speed"
http://www.x-mp3.com/testyourspeed.shtml
note: I just tried it & it didn't connect, but it had been working as
recently as a week ago.
Also note that a badly fragmented HD can cause gapping as the file
system thrashes trying to cache the stream.
