09:33:56 GMT, in article . I can prove
it. And thus I reply:
*** What I want to know is:
Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
Why would a modem require a better connection than voice?
How could a dial tone be broken up with the modem but not on the
regular phone? You'd think a dial tone is a dial tone, wouldn't you?
Thanks for any replies.
My guess would be that you've got humidity inside the phone line cables (since you
said it started after a rain). This is no good for data connections, which should
be as "clean" as possible, but the voice calls wouldn't care (you can listen to
someone if there's a bit of noise).
