What kind of modem and what are you typing to start it?  If it's a
WinModem, I've heard nothing but bad things.  If it can by jumpered to
a specific port, do it?  Are you connecting to your ISP?  Are you
using xisp to do this?  If you could, post alittle more info about
specifics to the problem.  Just saying "it dont work" doesn't help us
much.  Im not trying to sound harsh, just want to help.
