Before you read any further,I want say that this is not an Xp question.It's an ME question.I know these forums are for Xp,but I am in need of serious help from you guys.I am at my wits end,and I greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Here's the problem.My parents bought an ActionTec 56k Call-Waiting modem.The modem uses call waiting ,so you can answer call while surfing.
The problem is, it stopped working about a month ago.I installed it,set up the call waiting app,and it ran fine for about 3 weeks.Then it quit answering calls.I called ActionTec and they RMA'ed it.Got the new one-same thing.It will dial-up,connect normally,but won't answer incoming calls.I have installed and re-installed the drivers, checked to see if any software is screwing it up,checked the phone cords,wall sockets etc.,called the phone company to see if call-waiting is working(it is),and I'm getting nowhere.The funny thing is,when you try to call while it's connected to the internet,instead of just ringing, you get a busy signal.
The system specs are:Windows ME(groan),Celeron 733 mhz,256 Ram ,onboard video(Intel i820 I think),and Soundblaster sound card(not sure what,I don't think it matters).Not the greatest,I know.
If anybody has any ideas at all I will kiss their feet.
