ARgh!

Just had another little chat with IBM's tech support about my laptop's modem. The darn thing won't connect faster than 7k (if it manages to connect in the first place that is). And it's a 56k modem. At 7k you can't even surf the net because IE thinks you're not connected or something and can't find the DNS server! I'm pretty sure it's not a software problem. I've tried EVERYTHING! It wouldn't even work on a freshly installed system. But IBM is convinced that it is a software problem. So they want me to run a couple more tests and then call them back. GAAAAHHH!

Have adsl at home too. Only need the laptop’s modem for when I travel. Which I’ll do next week. So I really need that freaking modem to work!!!
