i concur...the lead could bbe the problem...inspect the WE (clear) plug..US modems have inner pair of 4 contacts as active pins instead od outer two.At the BT end the pair that is active from the modem (inner) should be terminated to the outer two pins. Continuity testing could be in order if it was a custom lead. If it appears to still be giving trouble you may try stripping out the old modemwith win95 add/remove hardware.WARNING this should only be attempted if you have win95B and the modem is a standard model : when you reboot win95 should detect the modem and automatically install drivers. If it is a non standard modem and it cant locate drivers it will prompt you to insert the floppy with the drivers on it.
