 Done some further work in trying to get to the bottom of this.

I dual boot windows 2000 and xp, so I tried in W2K and it worked perfectly,
so I don't suspect a hardware problem.

I next went to a friend's house and tried it on his XP system and it worked
perfectly, which is quite annoying as I built it for him!!

So I came back, formatted the partition and reloaded XP ... and got exactly
the same problem, with no patches/fixes and nothing else running. On the
inital driver installation it produces the dial up dialogue. If I cancel
and continue with the driver installation then it fails, whilst if I let it
connect all goes well and it works.

I can unplug and replug as often as I like with the call connected and it
continues to work with the line dropped, but then when I unplug and plug
back in its back ot the usual failure.

If I had got the driver off of a dubious website I would have said that it
had spyware in it (I have run my virus checker, ad-aware and spybot just in
case).

Can anybody shed any light on whats going on?

Thanks,
Colin
