If you've "cleaned up" the line as best you can at your end, that pretty much isolates the problem, and tells you it is at the other end. There is a simple test you could perform if you have a high impedance voltmeter and can connect it to the phone line. You should measure a fairly high voltage (greater than 50 volts) with nothing off hook (no phones off hook, modem not connected, etc.). That voltage will drop to a few volts when you connect with your modem. If the voltages vary a lot from these values, could indicate a wiring problem; if you or a friend could make the tests, and give me the readings, I could take a crack at a diagnosis, or tell you the readings are "normal", whatever the case may be. It is too bad AT&T Paradyne got out of the modem business. They developed a patented circuit for their modems which did the best job I've ever seen of compensating for many of the problems of the local loop. I've seen them connect at 28.8 where other modems can't get above 22. Larry
