I believe it's legally forbidden to modify (and thus use) the exe
file. So.. you're gonna lose that lawsuit :)

You'd win easily as it is only illegal to modify your files in the
dreams of software companies.
Can't believe the ***ing corporate lackies who seem to believe that,
no matter what, the consumer should just *** off.

You have one of the newer v.92 modems. Is it made by USR? If it is you
should have got a utility to install that allows you to change that option.
v.92 modems allow you to stay conected to the internet while accepting an
incoming call, but your ISP has to be setup to the v.92 standard for it to
function correctly.
