UNI-C, a large Internet provider in Denmark, recently had this problem. They
has installed new modems, but they new modems very often didn't answer the
phone, and when they did, they had a tendency to negotiate with the callers
modem that they could't talk to each other. UNI-C has to replace the new
modems with another brand to make things work. So it really could be a
modem problem. If you are unlucky, you have exactly that brand of modem that
doesn't want to talk to other modems. It could be your Internet providers
modems that are faulty, though.
