You shouldn’t hear anything at all.  After you press one you should hear nothing but silence on a clean line.  But if you are straining it isn’t likely to be a problem.

 

It’s a matter of pulling the old one out, putting the new one in the same hole and installing the drivers from the CD that comes with it.

I tried dialing 1 like you said before signing on this afternoon. Didn't sound like anything to me...if it was static, I wouldn't have to strain to hear something correct?

 

Sigh, guess that leaves me with the modem.....thank God thier not that expensive then. Tell me, are they as easy  to put in as memory? That's about all I've ever physically installed myself...

If it’s static on the line, you call the phone company and tell them you have static on *VOICE* calls.  Don’t tell them about the computer, they won’t come to fix it.

 

You can buy a new modem for under $25 in most cases.

I unplugged the line from the back of the computer and plugged the phone there......dial tone. Plugged it into the computer, no dial tone....so don't think it was the second one. Though I could be wrong.....leaves me with #1 or #3.....will try #3 when I sign off and let you know, if that's it.....what do I do?

 

Also, if it is the modem.....can it even be replaced if it does go, on one this old? And if so....how expensive?

1)       Modem is going bad.

2)     Phone cord going from the computer to the jack is bad/loose/frayed.

3)     Phone line has too much static.  (pick up the phone, dial 1, and listen for static)

Ok guys, tell me somthing. Hopefully one of you will have a idea, I have one but not sure if it's right or not. Hoping I'm wrong...lol

 

A few times now when I've went to sign on, I have gotten a error message saying there was no dial tone. Knowing there was, I would cancel the message and or reboot and it always signed on fine then. Maybe did that a couple of times, but then signed on fine....

 

That's why I was MIA yesterday and today....it kept telling me there was no dial tone when there was, and everything was hooked up fine. Now it just signed on, no problemo......even fixed it to dial without waiting for a dial tone. Didn't help......now it seeming fixed itself. Any clue what could have been wrong?

 

I was about convinced it ment my modem had been going out and finally went. Hopefully doesn't mean it's going out, apparently if so hasn't went since it let me on. Finally, after two days......

 

Anyhow, let me know when you two read this. If it lets me back on to get the message. lol
