How far did the application get - in other words, after typing Hypertrm, in the RUN box, what happened? Did you get the initial screen / new connection dialog? How far did you get / when did you get the freeze? When you get the "freeze", can you press CTRL+ALT+DEL and get a response? Aloha! Richard.

I get as far as clicking on the screen for Port Settings, set it to COM3, then I click the default settings clik OK when I'm immediately taken to the termianl screen where if I'm very quick & type "AT" & press Enter I get the "OK" & then the computer freezes (mouse won't move). If I'm not very quick after I click OK to the default settings, then before I can type "AT" the mouse freezes up. I think I've seen the words "No Dialtone" on that screen when I'm quick but that's as far as I get before it freezes. I make sure my telephone lines are correctly plugged into both the modem as well as the telephone line. The same freeze up occurs if I use the auto dialer on the Communications link. The computer freezes after I dial a number (I usually try the Netzero local phone number) & I think I've seen "No Dialtone" there too. I already removed my ISP setup in the Control Panel

If that doesn't help, you'll ned to find a different (more "compatible") driver for the modem. Aloha! Richard.
