Oh yes I know what this problem is. You need to set your modem to use hardware handshaking. There are a few more things that you should set also let me give you a list. b0 e1 f1 m1 q0 v1 x4 y0 &a3 &b1 &c1 &d2 &g0 &h1 &i0 &k1 &m4 &n0 &p0 &r2 &s0 &t25 &u22 &y1 These are just my settings and they may be not what you need. I am using a usrobotics sportster externel 56k. The command to see your settings for usrs is "ati4". To see help on the usrs "at&at&$".
