After three hours of pure frustration and "phone-ear" from being on the phone so long with Tech. Support, I finally decided to try an idea of my own; I replaced the female-to-female phone-line coupler (which was totally brand new and had come with the laptop computer) with another one that I knew worked and viola! In computerland, it's so easy to presume that the problem is always software related (because it usually is), and the LAST thing you'd expect is a brand new piece of cheap, easy to make hardware (probably made en-mass in some factory where they've made millions before, without incident) to actually be wired incorrectly. But like anything with computers; Learn to expect, the unexpected. ;-) I went through something almost identical to this once (minus the cute teenage girl coming on to me).
