    Stop dicking around with cheap crap modems.  Go out and buy yourself a
USR Courier v.Everything X2/v.90 modem and be done with it, I have four of
them and they are excellent and won't buy anything else now.

    What's the saying, "Pay now and cry once?"  Well, you should realize
this now, buy the best and you won't have these problems.
