Hello people.

A strange problem:

My modem will drop the connection, but Windows still thinks it's connected. If I
pick up the phone there's dial tone, if I dial to the number of the phone line
that's connect to my modem, the modem answers it.

Modem is a PCTEL HSP56 MicroModem. OS is Win98 SE. I tried various drivers for
this modem but it didn't help. The ISP I use is a local free ISP.

I have a friend, which has a Lucent modem (LT WinModem) and he has the same
problem.

There is no noise [1] on the phone line.

What is causing this problem? thanks.

If needed I will post modem logs.

[1] Actually, the noise is barely noticeable.

composed:

Try the Windows 98/98SE Dial-Up Networking 1.4 Upgrade:

Conexant's website will probably have the latest PCtel drivers.

Another workaround is to end the "Rnaapp" task in the Ctrl-Alt-Del
task window.

You may have some luck in determining the reason for disconnection by
retrieving the modem's last call diagnostic report. The commands are
AT#UG or AT#UD.

Please remove one 's' from my address when replying by email.

I will take a look at this.

Also will try this when I get offline. (connected for 5 hours, my ISP is 90% of
the time giving the "Line busy" signal)

Thanks.
