hi, Scott,
errr, I don't remember if I did a restart between uninstall & re-install. :-}
The modem query showed a number of commands. only one was unrecognized. I think
they may have had a cable modem before their son moved out. the AOL seemed set
up for broadband, but there is only a phone modem now. I shoulda printed out
the error messages.
I guess there could be a virus in there?
Thanks!

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?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
