Just for the fun of it, in case you haven't already, shut the system
down and restart from off completely. I know, it's like a windows thing,
but my modem would not give me a dial tone last night after I made some
changes in the system. So I shut down completely and went to bed.
Tonight after work, I turned it on and voila! the modem caught a
dialtone and dialed up. Don't ask me why, it is a mystery. Luck, Dennis
