I am working on two computers that seem to be experiencing the same problem. They both use dial up for internet. When you dial in, most or all of the resources are being used. One is a win98 machine. The mouse slows down and sometimes stops altogether for a time. Then sometimes when going to a different page, it takes forever. The other machine is a winxp. I watched the cpu usage as it was dialing up. It went up to 99 and 100% while dialing and seemed to stay at 25 to 30% or more. Sometimes it totally freezes of at least temporarily freezes. As soon as I cut off the connection, it dropped back down. I have tried replacing the modem. I also suspected a problem with the nic and replaced that as well. Has anybody seen anything like this? Any ideas?
