- Hello Ray
-
- I also experienced the same problem with hanging up. I have been in contact with
- USR for the past two weeks and as of today 1/24/96 USR is going to replace the
- internal modem with a new one. I'll see if this makes a differences, your best
- bet is to return it NOW and get something (almost anything else).
-
- Good Luck
