That baby racks up tens of MB. There's no way we'll be
able to do it that way. It took me 147 hrs. to
download an ISO of Knoppix (Linux) on DUN. I'm not
ever doing that again!
I could mail a CD to my cousin Renato, your neighbor
in Vegas.
Nahhh, but if worst comes to worse, you can get a CD
from Micro$oft with all the current updates and
security patches at the time of purchase.
Wouldn't you really rather have a PC without all these
hassles?
Try getting a Windows 98SE or a Windows 2000 Pro
edition at EBay.
I'll *NEVER* contribute to Gates' benevolent fund by
buying XP. They have yet to work out all the glitches
in it and they've already geared up to dump Longhorn
on the American* consumer market - *it thinks new is
better.
But that's my choice - no XP for x - me!
So, in conclusion, except for the fact that you
encountered the modem woes, your PC ran fine with XP.
It was after you determined to do a reinstall that the
flood of trouble began, correct? That was after
installing the new modem, which did not solve the
disconnects? I can't figure it out, Skyhawk.
If the box were mine I'd try a different OS, just to
ascertain that the PC's hardware is not at fault.

P.S.:
From looking in the archives for TTT i know there are
avid XPers in this forum. Maybe we can enlist their
2cents' worth of ideas in resolving this.
