Im unsure what the problem is here.  I use 380-1108
for diaup in south san jose. I bought a new computer
last week and am using the same modem from my old
computer in the new one (56K internal on a P3 650 now).

I notice that when Im logged on, the modem has a *lot*
of what sounds like re-negotiation going on every few
minutes.  Im unsure if thats what it really is, but
the modem connects and the sound goes away, then every
now and then when the connection isnt transfering
data, I hear the modem noise like its having hard times
communicating.  Also the phone line is the same as
when it used to work well (which was only 2 weeks ago
when I switched to the new computer).  

1.  Where do I find the dialup numbers to find a new
	number and try it out?

2.  Anyone else having these types of problems on that number?

3.  What error control and flow control *should* I be using
	for the modem?  Ive played around with this but the results
	seem the same.  Im running windows 98 (2nd ed)

Thanks!
Jeff
