Well I woke up this morning and my phone line was in use, as in no dial tone and no incoming calls getting through but I wasn't sure why.. The internet hadn't been connected in awhile but my winxp just sitting there on the desktop was clogging up my phone line.. only way i can get a dial tone is by shutting down this computer.. to get online now i had to remove the computer phone line from the wall, pick up my cordless phone to get a dial tone, leave the cordless off the hook and plug the wire back in and let the computer dial.. and when i do that i either connect at 31 or 24 kbps, that has never happened before.. i always get 49 or 50+.. anyone have any idea? i haven't installed any new software that i can recall.. i've tried everything i can think of
