I have found out that my provider recently upgraded their modems to V.90. I think my provider is using linux as their OS which doesn't surprise me since I haven't had good luck with any provider that uses linux (I'm not trying to start a flame war, just stating my experience). Is it also possible that I have my modem setup incorrectly? How would I confirm that my system is working properly? I recently saw a message or a magazine article about an FCC web site that you could look up initialization strings for your modem chipset. Any ideas on what site that is? Thanks again.

About the only other thing I can think of is too much line noise or a bad telephone cable.
