This modem problem occurs when running Windows 2000.
Using PCTel Modem HSP 56 Micro Modem with (what I believe to be) the latest driver for Win2K.
Device Manager properties states it is working properly and diagnostics proceed correctly.
I can get on line. IE comes up properly. But, within a couple of minutes of going on line, the system freezes - no keyboard and no mouse. A cold shut down and reboot is required.
Since I can easily switch drives on this machine, I switched with a drive running Win98SE. The modem works fine!
I would like to switch to Win2k on this machine. There is no other problem running Win2k except the modem. I have been runing successfully with several applications for the last few days.
Win 2K is certainly more stable than Win98SE in most ways... so what could be going wrong here?
