cable. My work laptop works fine with the cable and phone \n line. Her modem
is an internal Conexent mini pci V92. I even \n installed a USR PCMCIA modem
and it worked for one day. I really \n think somethings screwed up software
was. I've been searching all \n over the web for help.

I'm a computer \n professional and I had a problem like this that almost
completely stumped \n me. The modem and drivers were fine, you could query the
modem and get all \n the normal responses, etc. What really tipped me off was
that the modem \n worked on OTHER phone lines, but not with the particular
user's phone line. \n Also, OTHER modems DID work on the user's line.
It turned out in that \n case the modem was reporting "no dial tone" even
though it WAS getting dial \n tone because the polarity of the phone line was
reversed!! I ended up \n guessing that it might be the problem, opened up the
phone jack and \n switched the to wires, plugged everything in and it worked.
Just one \n more possible cause for trouble in case all other ideas \n fail.
