All of a sudden my internal modem is not working, which is a pain if you want to fax something. It's been a while, actually, and I BELIEVE it may have started after I had to unhook everything to put in a new video card. I have the phone line going form the machine to a jack in the wall, which is split for both DSL and the internal modem.

This is an older machine, a 400 MZ G4, upgraded to 933 MZ. It's frustrating to have it not working, plus it's costing me more ink, as I now have to print out everything and send it via stand-alone. Thankfully, many people do e-mail. But still...

I'm wondering if there's a way to test th emodem to see if it's even working. I'm going to pull the wire and try a new phone wire, to see if it's maybe as simple as that. In the meantime, anyone know how to determine if the wiring is actually getting through?

New phone wire fixed it, I believe.
