| I haven`t experienced something like this but I have a Diamond Supra STT 56i proDF internal modem and using WinMe. I was very dissapointed by their support and their driver updates-which are not found on every mirror server,at least were not. Even that I had used 98 drivers succesfully,there are a "new" ME drivers. If you have same modem,look for SUP code and what extra features have,like voice,fax,etc. Mine is plain with SUP2850 and I use "suprasst-2850_winme_21407b" driver-no probs. Check on their site for that problem and D/L latest driver-although it`s a mess! And check any fax program settings. |

| Hey jorgeferreira, Do you by chance have a "call waiting" feature (or equivalent) which allows you to hear a signal when a second call occurs during an active call, and switch between the 2 calls? If so, go to modem properties, click on dialing properties, check the box for disable call waiting & select the appropriate dialing string. "*70," works for me (USA), "70#," and "1170," are common alternatives (no quotes, of course). I'm not sure what the equivalent would be in Portugal. Any help?

| Hi jorgeferreira If this is occuring while you are not on the internet you need to go into your bios (Power>>Power Up Control) and disable the Power up on external modem or disable wake on lan/pci modem. If the phone rings, with some modems when these options are enabled, you will experience a hesitation in operation - in severe cases a complete lock-up. If you are on the Internet, then the solution SKI offered to disable call waiting should solve it for you. hth --PeAcE-- <---ChAsM---<<

| Hey ChAsM, Nice One! I didn't even think about that possible meaning of what Jorge wrote. Obvious once you posted.
