Dave,
You quote
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/t60modemconnector.gif
which definitely displays an RJ-11 USA standard phone socket.
In the USA, you would connect the modem to the phone company, NOT to the
PC, with a cable with RJ-11's at both ends.
In the UK, either you have a special cable or you need an adaptor
matching RJ-11 to your wall socket.
http://pinouts.ru/connector/4_pin_USB_A_or_USB_B_plug_connector.shtml
shows an USB connector.
It is not possible to misidentify USB_B and RJ-11 connectors, not the
same shape (hole), 4 contacts not 2 (although RJ-11 may show 4 contacts
side by side).
An USB modem would have one such USB_A or USB_B connector to attach the
modem to the PC, **AND** an RF-11 connector to attach the modem to the
wall phone socket.
Can we please know if the modem which your purchased is an external box
or a printed card to be installed inside the PC?
Your ModemData.txt did show one such internal modem. Are you talking
about this one or something else?

Dear Dave,
I am trying to understand what you have been doing from the beginning.
Please tell me where I am wrong.

Hi Jacques
Thanks for your reply which I am working through at the moment.
In my original post I said I had now bought a PCI USB modem. I now
realise I was wrong about the USB. In fact the connector on the modem
is one of these:

Does anyone know how to refer to this type of connection? It makes
things so much easier if you know what things are called.
