If you are still having problems you can give this a try........ Click Start, goto
find, and click files or folders....Search for telephon.ini.....If you find it then
rename it to telephon.old or telephon.bad....Click on Start, Run, then type tapiini.exe,
press Enter(You won't see much, maybe a quick flash)....Reboot.If that doesn't work...Remove
DUA and Modem from DEVICE Manager..REBOOT, if prompted with new device found...Skip
through it and manually install your modem....When all else fails, hit the registry****************BACK
IT UP FIRST******************************Goto---> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\ Telephony\Providers Modify the value of the ProviderFilename0 value to TSP3216L.TSP
save these changes...EXIT REGEDIT, and then restart your computer..... Click Start>Find>Click
Files Or Folders..Search for telephon.ini(Again)If you do not find the Telephon.ini
file--->click Start >Run type tapiini.exe , and then press ENTER and then restart.....
If you do find the Telephon.ini file, right-click it, Rename it to telephon.old ,
and then press ENTER and then click Start >Run type tapiini.exe , and then press
ENTER and then restart....If none of this helps...Nukethe OS and reinstall a fresh
new copy...........
GOOD LUCK
