Hi all,

I know that this has nothign directly to do with the piclist,but I'm in a
real bind, I can't seem to find this info on the web, and I hope you can
help/

I'm fixing a friends PC for him, and his modem is not working. It is an
Archtek (or SmartLink) 5634BTS, known as a a 56K (V.90 and X2) Video
Ready modem. It's ISA and has jumpers which allow either manual comport
selection
or PnP mode. The computer is using Win98 (not second edition).\ and he
has AOL.

What happens is this: The modem used to work fine. Gradually, he devloped
problem after problem and reinstalled the OS. At that point, after
reinstalling the OS and modem driver, the modem worked fine for a little
while and then stopped (I'm not sure what the exact symptome was at that
point). I think it stopped after the first time the computer was rebooted.

I then tried to reinstall the modem drivers. When I do so, it installs
fine and win98 lists it under modems. However, if you click the "more
info" button, win98 says it cannot communicate with the modem (after a
long pause of trying).
 AOL says it cannot locate any modems. When I use hyperterminal to access
it directly, it responds to an AT withe "boot>" and no other AT commands
seem to work. I have never seen a modem act like this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sean
