thanks.. I managed to hunt around and found out apparently there were two
modems and one of them was set on the wrong one. Also needed update driver..
got that sorted out and now I can get into an ISP when the DSL modem has
problems. I am waiting for delivery of a new modem. My old one is barely
holding on...keepin me finners crossed for about 4 days....

ML,
I've never relied on any modem's ability to let me hear what it's doing
simply because they rarely listen to me when I tell them to use their little
speaker. So, don't let the lack of noise bother you at all. However, there
should be no problem in making the connection itself, even if the DSL is
running at the time. The OS is smart enough to know to jump over to the
dial-up account if it's connected.
This leads me to believe that something is surely amiss here. Either
the numbers you're telling it to dial aren't correct, there's an issue with
the rest of the settings for the connection, the modem's drivers are not
properly installed or the modem has indeed 'run down the curtain and joined
the choir invisible'.
The first thing I would check is the connection's properties, which can
be found by opening up the Internet Options applet in Control Panel. You'll
need to look at the Connections tab and see if all of the info looks correct
in the dial-up info it has stored there. If everything checks out, try
downloading the newest available modem drivers from the manufacturer's site
and install them. There's no need to uninstall the older driver first.
Peace,
G
