  Hi Shelagh,
           I have this running reliably over AOL server. There there was
an issue which needed the 'penggy' code to establish the connection.
Perhaps you should give a little more info about your connection, and
current problem. E.g.: How do you know the driver is working?
  
   USB DSL modems get a bad press, but mine  seems stable now it is
working
