-Check for newer drivers
-Flash BIOS
-Replace 56k Connection Cord
-Make Sure Windows Has Newest Updates
-Finally, Contact Gigabyte, Even Though They Are P.O.S.

strange. is it an internal pci/isa or is it integrated? try running thru the install new hardware dialogue up until it gives u a list of whats installed. if the modem is in the list cancel out of it. some times this works

I meant the line cord that connects your phone line to your PC, might not be your MoBo or Modem, but your cord might have shorts or something.

As u said i ran contrl panel - add hardware wizard.I got a list of devices including modem.But ther is no option to cancel it from the list.


"but your cord might have shorts or something" -- Can that happen?Becoz I am getting it right by touching the modem alone and code kept idle.

Can it be a hardware problm or a software problm?How come my finger touch awakes the modem!!!!!

very weird, sounds like a bad modem or bad contact. id just buy a new modem and take it from there.
