Hhmm...that's something to look at. Of course, I never use the modem since that HP and two Macs have wireless access through an Apple Airport Station. Perhaps I'll take it out all together and see what that does.  Uh oh...perhaps I won't do that because I just took a look at it right now and it seems that the modem is integrated with the game port and also where the speakers plug into. That's an odd setup...

...the first thing I had to do was replace my LT Win modem it seemed to bog down my ENTIRE system however once I replaced it with a USR everything seemed to perk up and lock ups seemed to deteriorate.
