if no question mark there than modem should work as windows loaded it's own driver. check in control panel\modem to see if modem diagnostic works.

make certain cable is in wall jack connector & not in handset connector as won't get dial tone. did you try the modem diagnostics in control panel?

oh yeah. i tried the diagnostics. the modem is there...but it cannot "Communicate" with the modem..well it wasnt plugged in to the wall jack when i tried that..so probably not the smartest thing to do. but yeah..and i fond out the modems drivers come with Win 98 SE.......i feel like a dumbass there.. lol

doesn't need to be connected to phone line for diagnostics. what com port & irq # is the modem using? are you using the motherboard serial ports or do you have them disabled in the bios?
