I have a dual core XP machine and my dial up connection stopped

What hardware are these winmodems? Are they all the same kind of slot
such as PCI or are any USB?
They are all PCI of 3 different brands.
I'm reading about people 'twiddling' the XP/ CP/ setting for wait for
dial tone before dialing to off (and/or back on); I'm also reading that
some people benefit from changing out the phone cord connection (bad
connector).
The main reason I do not suspect the phone cable is I can plug a phone
into the phone side of the modem and dial out.
I am starting to wonder whether I am missing a voltage from the PS. I
seem to remember back in the olden days that the -12v was only used
for the serial port and maybe a modem uses it too.
I am running the Intel monitor for the system board and it is not
flagging any errors.
