Doug... First of all you MUST upgrade your modem & follow the
instructions!!!

Quite a Link!!! then go to modem Scripts and select Apple internal 56K
version 34 and give it a try...

I think the problem is not your phone line anyway call yout telephone
provider and ask them to clean your phone line it will take ablut a minute
and you will experience a huge cahnge!!!

Hope this will help you
