Hi,

First check that the drivers are installed correctly - look in the device manager and make sure that your modem is listed and is "responding properly"

Make sure your dialup connection is configured to correctly use the modem - thats a network setting.

Update your drivers to the latest versions off the manufacturer's website if that appears to be ok but make sure you get drivers specifically for Win2K...

Cheers,
Tim.

To test your phone line; start phone dial in accessories, communications. Enter a regular house phone number and dial, and Listen

The click is probably a reset of the modem, which implies that you probably have a driver installed. Check the simplest thing first - is the telephone cable in the correct jack on your modem? One connects to the wall jack and one is connects a telephone (saves a "Y" connector.) They generally have universal symbols stamped onto the end plate that are sorta self-explanatory.
