From the sound of it, if connecting the modem directly to the phone line kills your normal phone, and this is with/without it being plugged into the computer via USB/whatever... I think it may be dead... HTH. Elroy. Shannon Skinner wrote:
Thank you for the suggestions, they all sounded like they would work but unfortunately none of them did the trick for me. It still sends those darn LCP requests.
I have a feeling that there may be other issues: connecting the USB modem to a phone jack, kills the dial out ability of our home phone. It doesn't matter whether the modem is connected to the computer or not. I can get a dial-tone, dial a number and then nothing. Unplug the phone line to the modem and the home phone works again. Weird!
I might bring it down to the next fix-it meeting, to see if anybody has any ideas...
Cheers
