What brand and type of modem do you have? IF you have a winmodem, be very sure you have the latest driver. There are strings (data modifiers) to add in the set up to make it more tolerant of line conditions. What speed are you connecting at (put mouse arrow over little puter at lower right). Hardware modems are a little more pricey but perform better at marginal conditions. You may have a few dud lines and by the process of droppong out and reconnecting you get a good one. Use your voice phone to listen for static for a number of hook ups.
