Help setting up Lucent Win Modem.

Thanks Noo Noo I will give that a try.
If the Com port and cable is okay is there anything else we could try? The previous owner of the modem said it was working fine when he last used it. He upgraded to ADSL so didn't need it anymore.

Well I am not sure why, perhaps because today is Saturday but we managed to finally get it to work with standard Windows modem drivers. We didn't really do anything different that we had already done but it just seemed to detect the modem this time on COM1. I just received my first test e-mail from my dad so he must of managed to follow my instructions in using OE.

Thanks again for the ehlp.

Glad its fixed ... finally ! don't you just love computers ?!?

Dunno what was going amiss, maybe the parent/son interface was having intermitent communications difficulty ? - seems that's all fixed up now though !

ROFLMAO Yes perhaps that was the reason why. I just copied your reply and sent it to Dad in an e-mail. As you know its hard enough trying to explain things to someone who's never used computers when your in the same room as them. Let alone when you live on the other side of the country.
