disable the modem and disable the com port to it, via control panel....

then if msngr is still doesn't work, unistall it then reinstall it.....

(You should keep you dial up disabled at all times, until you are ready to
use it, like for faxing)

-If you look at Internet Settings in Control Panel, you'll probably find
that it's set to 'always dial a connection' and the default is the analog
modem.

However, some DSL modems are treated like dial-up -although there is no
dialling - and in this case there may be a 'dial-up entry' for DSL.

If none of those is the cause, then you might have acquired a 'preimum rate
dialler' malware, in which case you need to run spyware-checking software.

-A funny language we use, anyway, where words have lost their original
meaning but we still use them for things they have nothing to do with at all
anymore.. - Do many people today know what 'dialling' actually meant? <g>
