Sorry, sundug, for the earlier confusing response. Anyway, I suspect your connection problem is directly related to your modem, and not drivers, etc. When you say you've had the lines tested, you should realize that line quality may be adequate for voice and fax, but not for a decent Internet connection. Not all modems (even Winmodems) are created equal. Some are more tolerant of line noise than others.

As I stated in my first post, My old Win 98 desktop dials up just fine, and stays in all day, while the new Vista laptop won`t stay online for 5 minutes.

I understood that. But your two computers don't share the same modem do they? Since I'm still apparently not making myself clear, you are using two different modems, and there is no reason you should expect them to have identical performance characteristics. The hardware and software just isn't the same. Are you up to speed with me now?

If the internal modem in your laptop doesn't perform adequately, you might need to consider an alternative such as a PC-Card modem or an external modem.
