I have a starnge situation here . After 20-30 minutes of connection my system slows down . First, switching windows are delay by a few seconds and after about one minute system is stuck. If i disconnect cable from phone line system responds again.
I tried both IE4, IE55, uninstall antivirus, reinstall
modem etc.
The OS is win98. I noticed that before freeze CPU
has 100% load with sys monitor but memory and swap
are constant. System resources are about 70% free.

Modem is model 3com/USR 2884A , mobo epox 8kta3 (VIA)

Please ,anybody can help?

The Winmodems - is real big problem. If you will have controller-based modem then problem is gone.

Yes, right but i used this winmodem for months without
any problem with my old bx board. Maybe is a mobo+modem
problem?

Is it PCI? Try another PCI slot.
