Sorry, I don't understand the AIW but the :( doesn't look good.

Do you mean an AMD K6 cpu? It's actually an IBM/Cyrix 6x86 PR166+. Is anything
wrong with AMD or IBM/Cyrix cpus?

I tried with the computer off. If I unplug the phone cord from the modem and
it works, what should I then do? Can I do this unplugging business while the
computer is running? Just to be sure, you do mean the actual phone cord, not
the cord that is plugged in the wall outlet?
I've read so much during the last six weeks trying to find answers to these
little problems, and others that I managed to settle on my own, and I read
somewhere that the modem could be picking up the signal, letting it through to
the phone but not giving back any signal, or something. Something like the
modem command set or something. I'll try to find where I read that, but if you
can point me in the right direction it will be appreciated.
Much thanks in advance.
