Hey all, looking for some modem assistance (yes, a dinosaur I know...). I have a DS3 3.3 (bios F9) and I am having problems with the my system locking up when I use my SmartLink PCI modem (56k). The system hangs up at various places, sometimes when dialing, sometimes while connecting, and sometimes after connecting...within 60 seconds. Anyone else had similar problems?

Just an update in case someone else encounters the same...I replaced my modem with a new Creative Labs modem and solved the issue.

Thanks

Question for you. Why not get broadband connect? Or too expensive for you if so thats fine but I was curious. Doesn't hurt to ask.
