Just started having the same problem after there was a power loss to my iMac 700mz running OS X 10.3.6 ,Actually the computer was powered off while I was in NY for four days but the dogs managed to disconnect the power cable. I'll be talking to Apple about this sometime later today. A partial work around for the time being is instead of starting the connection by double clicking the phone icon is try starting the connection from the "open Internet Connection" window. Make sure you have the modem set to allow you to hear it dial out. What I'm hearing is a different tone then normal after the connecting to internet scrolls across the top for about a minute. Seems as if it's trying to setup for a fax instead of connecting to the internet. Then the connection drops, (since the PPP didn't either send a recognition signal or receive one). Then tries dialing again. Eventually it connects. Fortunately I have a dedicated phone line so I can leave it connected. If anyone having this problem tried connecting with a external modem instead of the internal modem? "There's no such thing as good money or bad money.
