Wow, this goes back a few years for me.

Possible causes:

1. Bad telephone wiring on premises.
2. Bad wall jack.
3. Bad cable from computer to wall jack.
4. Faulty modem.
5. Incorrect software drivers for modem.

Hi, I recently helped a friend get a G6-233 back on its feet by
reformatting its hard drive and reinstalling Windows 98 SE. I then
installed the V.90 upgrade (75022725v.exe) for its modem, a Telepath for
Windows with X2, model 6000728.

He dials in to a local university account to access the web and to Juno
for his e-mail. When he connects, he gets almost 51K connections.
However, at times the modem will start to dial, then just drop out. He
then has to totally shut down and then restart his computer one or two
times to get the modem to make a successful connection. Any suggestions
on what I need to do to give him more regular connects? Thanks,
