hmmm, look at the modem diagnostic in properties on WIn ME and the settings, (Flow control, etc.) Then boot into XP and look at the settings, what is changed?....

Probably this is problem due to the modem driver in XP. Which modem u r using? Try uninstalling the modem driver and reload with an updated driver.
