I haven't been on dial-up in so long I've forgotten everything 
about it, so all I've got is try and disable the AV software. 
While mine loads (either at startup or enabling it after I've 
shut it down), there's a really long wait and I can't click 
ANYTHING during that time.  But it's not 3 minutes.

Is the CPU sufficient enough for a WinModem?  Has it always 
done this or this event recent?

A friend with an emachines computer is experiencing up to a 3 
minute lag
when he dials a connection through the winmodem. Nothing 
responds and
there is no traffic in or out yet there is 100% cpu usage 
during this
lag period. The computer is about 5 years old and is equipped 
with xp home.

Incidentally, if any browser is used to start the connection it 
won't
come up until after the lag breaks.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Peter Kaulback
