balky e-mail/printer long lines

[dave]

in regards to the modem driver is that 8.30(agere right.)is
not tested by microsoft for use in the windows xp machine
and you may experience problems (or not) . 8.28 is the
latest certified driver for your modem. but 8.30 does seem
to resolve an issue with an abnormal reading of upload
speed. try your speed test at dslreports.com/tools and
go to speed test. and check your actual line speed. also
56k.com has lots of info about modems and over ride codes
for diss-connects over line noise.

Dave is familiar with your modem and has already steered you towards
the right resources. For the printing - if your printer supports
"landscape" mode, try that to avoid the cut off text. If no luck,
copy/paste to a word processor. Save and then print. After printing,
you can delete the saved file if you no longer want it.
