#3 I had a different problem for my modem it was not able to dial out, because the dialtone was 10 seconds to late (implented on purpose by the telecom company when the market was open for other companies) . When we wanted to call someone and picked up the phone we always heard "Welcome to tele2" message before the dialtone was there. They implented the message to prefent people using a tone dialer, so they could use the phoneline for other telecom companies, they wanted to keep the monopoly. They did think Internet was only a hype, and never used in a massive way, so they refused to change the welcome message. We changed provider, and everything worked perfectly

I still have my Atari 1040..and it still works...my great nieces and nephews love it..mainly I think because its so different from what they have seen, So...imagine their faces when I drag out the Commodore 64 with the 1541 5 1/4 inch disc drive!
