Sorry, it is a very old USRobotics V34 Everything modem. Thing is, I |

like all the lights. LOL |

This thing has a ton of options in it. But I think the above may be the |
| 34 |
issue we are having. |

Yup, I do have another modem that is a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO. It |
| 44 |
works for my bro but not for me. It doesn't even work with my current |
| 45 |
ISP. It tries to connect at 115K which is more like a serial port |
| 46 |
speed. It seems to be confused, as am I right now. |

This is what I am thinking about getting. I had this before it got hit |
| 60 |
by lightening. |

| 62 |
pretty sure it worked too. I know it did for my current ISP but I think |
| 63 |
I used his ISP a few times too. I'm pretty sure this works with Bell |
| 64 |
South. Your thoughts??? |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
I may go check with my ISP and see if they have one that is external |
| 67 |
serial. Maybe cheap too. LOL |
