Thanks for the quick reply. No luck, however. I don't get any "ok" response from the modem, so everything just hangs... Even powering-off

modem to reset it seems to have no effect.

When I went back into windows, I also seemed to have a problem until I reinstalled the modem. I wonder if this is some 'plug and pray'
