- >modems (They might be Hayes Accura 144, I didn't check to make dure)
- connected to

- Ben,
-
- You are referring the the ACCURA 144 and ACCURA 14400 as if they were
- different modems, but there is no distinction here. If you would please
- issue an ATi3 to the modems in question and let us know what they return so
- that we can tell exactly what you have. Also, I believe you said that you
- were able to make the connection when you tried from another phone line.
- This would indicate that there may be an issue with the phone line that is
- causing the failed connects.
