I cant get NR1999 to initialize my winmodem. I've read that one should stay away from these modems but since I already have one, is there a work around to getting this to work?

I hate to be the one to tell you this but the only way I found to fix my winmodem was to take it out, smash it with a hammer in gut rage, and replace it with a NON-WINMODEM. No really. I replaced my winmodem with a real modem and haven't had a problem since. It was worth the $$ IMHO. It sucks, I know, but I don't know what else to tell you. Winmodems are really inferior pieces of sh*t. J. >I cant get NR1999 to initialize my winmodem.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered a real modem and plan on sending this winmodem back to USR in pieces. Steve

I replaced my 'real' modem with a LT WinModem and have had great fun playing GPL online since! The real Modem was a pain in the a**!! Regular discos. Now I have played for hours without disconnects... I guess I was just lucky...? Glad I bought a piece of sh*** :) Kari
