modem (telco) doesn't hang up in old hp P120 system

[Mike Hollywood]

I retreived an old computer from the dumpster last week, it booted, etc.
P120 cpu, 40 megs edo ram, 4x cdrom, integrated video and sound, 1.2 G hard
drive, 3 1/2 " floppy.
Reformatted the drive and installed win98se, runs fine, all systems go, no
problems.

Next I wanted to see if I could get it on line using Juno's free service so
I installed
a network card, connected to my router, and downloaded Juno along with all
the updates for the operating system. So far so good.

I have a box of old ISA modems pulled from various systems, and put a few
in and eventally got a couple of them to work. 3 of them, actually. But,
here's
the thing, none of them disconnected after a call. To get them to hang up,
I had to unplug the cord from the RJ11 jack in the wall.

Any ideas on how to make ancient modems hang up properly?

TIA

Mike

did you tell the modem to disconnect?
you could try changing the modem to a different slot.
