The modem report showed a command (I think it EM> was AT#) unknown. sorry I know no more. I told him to call AOL; Is that all that it showed? It's not unusual for SOME commands to be unrecognized, since Windows simply checks a predefined list of commands. If the modem returns results for SOME commands, then it's talking to the computer ok. Did you restart the computer after removing AOL and before reinstalling? --Scott. -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
