I'd be VERY surprised if the new PC has a dial-up modem in it (although some laptops still do?), Does the cable definately fit properly into the socket on the PC? What new PC/laptop do you have?

Yeah, just post make and model of computer.. So we can check to see if the New PC has an internal dial up modem.. Hmm.

May not be have one. However if it doesn't and you can't for any reason pay for Broadband then Dial Up modems can still be bought, just contact your PC manufacturer, for help =)

Regards
