Re: Fail Modem

ighting off a badger attack! And then it does that Zaxxon thing...

Heeeeeeeeeeee...


...hoooooooooooo


Whew! I've got to reinstall my Agere driver, sort this problem out, and get back to downloading pron*drop*

fo, my Agere WinModem, so I'm not inclined to think that it's faulty. In fact, it has an excellent track record.

But drivers can get corrupted for a number of reasons, I'm told, and I did want to be sure that the problem wasn't at my end before contacting the phone company.

Deleting the modem from my Device Manager and letting it re-detect brought no change. Rolling back the driver did no good either; not only did it fail to resolve the problem, but now I was left with a Lucent WinModem.

This Lucent driver has got no character; just a few muted beeps and chirps when it dials up. I already miss the brassy honk-and-squeal that my Agere WinModem makes when connecting; it sounds like a goose and a pig f*drop*
