The MWave modem in my 760cd is completely dead. It worked like a charm for two weeks, then I made the mistake of dialing my ISP using "pulse", rather than "tone". Of course this should work, but it caused the modem to die. Now all I hear is static when I attempt to dial -- sort of like the sound of an AM radio not tuned to a station. In the far distance I can hear a dial tone, but it's not loud enough for the modem to grab onto, thus I receive "no dialtone" messages. I called IBM and they walked me through possible solutions, but nothing worked, so back it goes for repairs. I'm sending to Easy Serve in Memphis. The tech rep said I should get the Thinkpad back in 3 days. Is this a realistic estimate, or typical IBM propaganda? Other than my MWave modem woes, the 760cd is an absolute dream. (All the other MWave functions work, incidentally). Michael MacDonald macd@panix.com mmacdon1@tinker.hofstra.edu
