I recently switched my long distance carrier and am now experiencing frequent lost connections. I use aol with a 14400 modem. Before I start to invest in a faster modem are there other issues I should first check.

Thanks,

I would definitely get a new modem. When you buy a new modem though, make sure you spend the extra cash to get a &quot;hardware&quot; modem such as a US Robotics or a Boca Research modem. If in the name of the modem is says &quot;soft&quot; or &quot;winmodem&quot; or &quot;HSP&quot; or &quot;HSF&quot; those are not hardware modems. Just a little FYI. As far as disconnects, that can be attributed to a bunch of different things. If you want more info just email me at the address below and I'll tell you more.
