    I signed up for 650 Dialup about five months ago and have not been able to send email through one of their dialup networks.

    Use two modems without multilink ISP?

    After nine Creative Labs modem replacements, I think I finally have one that works in my computer (like the first one did).

    I just bought a new Gigabyte GA-7s748L motherboard to support my new AMD 2100+ CPU. I had another in-between MB that failed. Both MBs have Avalance AC97 onboard audio, but I disable that via the BIOS because I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer. However, it's not working right. My problem was...
