That's an interesting (and non-obvious) suggestion, thanks Chris. 
The drivers could well be suspect - *or the cable*. It turns  out 
was  NOT swapped out (depite the modem and cable being  returnd). 
We  are  now trying to get the cable replaced  *and*  source  new 
drivers.  The modem is a SONIC PRO external 56K. I think  it's  a 
Rockwell chipset.
