Software is unlikely to help if you have a modern computer with Windows XP and a
standard modem. More details would be needed to comment further, but here are a
few basic ideas:
--Substitute a different computer to determine whether the fault actually is in
your current computer.
--Plug a line directly from your computer into the external telephone interface
box to rule out defective wiring in your house.
--Ask your telephone company to check your line for noise.
--Try a different dialup number. Numbers closest to you, in your own town,
usually give the fastest connection.
