the system is running windows 2000 professional with dial up. In device manager the modem is available and enabled showing no trouble there nor in event viewer. but when attempting to connect get error 701 no modem found. all bills are up to date and paid for. How to get it to reconnect and/or what to download to get it working again? It's a "Intel V92 HaM Data Fax Voice".

as I recall that was included with Windows 2000. With Hyperterminal you can can create a dial-up connection to see if there are any signs of life from the modem. In XP you goto programs > accessories > communications >hyperterminal. You create a profile, name it whatever you want, enter a phone number and tell it to dial.

If nothing changed in your system, my guess would be that your modem has died....maybe got hit by a power surge from a storm??

It's possible that Windows can see the modem, but the circuitry that does the actual dialing is fried....

If you connect a phone to the line and get a dial tone, the modem has gone sailing off into the sunset.

gone to the great electronic recycler in the sky?

The funny thing is that modems are becoming rare and expensive as they become obsolete.

I knew I should have saved that stack of shiny-aluminum Hayes 1200 baud modems.....
