Is there a speaker on the modem? Can you hear what it happening? Is it
trying to do the logon all that time or Does it seem to logon and then his
computer is having trouble. That will give you a place to start.
I would confirm modem settings with the ISP. Look at the settings for the
modem in device manager. Open the network settings for the modem and check
there. You may be able to launch a terminal window for logon that will let
you see what is happening.
Seems to me ISP support should be able to help.

He has a 2.4ghz Athlon cpu and 1gb ram so he has enough power for the
winmodem.
It's getting hard to find hardware modems now, but until broadband is
more available I have to find one for him.
And I will try the av trick too.
Thanks Clint.
