I did notice that IRQ 11 stamped twice, but didn't know what it meant; however, I took out the winmodem and put the hardware modem into the same slot, so I'm positive it's in the correct slot. > I have a usr 5610 model modem, and it requires an > added init string of > ATS32=66, you might try looking at the USrobitics > website and see if there > are any strings required for your particular 5610 > modem (mine is a 5610b > external) I'm confused about the model number ... the model number on the back of the modem says 2977 ... yet the linux listing has both 5610 and 2977. > Also, this type of problem may mot be the modem, but > related to your ISP.

That's a good sign. I'll holler if connections change back to major flakiness. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
