completed 6ft line use, disconnect and reconnect steps; in modem test data command AT#CLS=? shows "not supported"; using hyperterm i did hear dial tone. did hear some low noise on telephone. tried msconfig to disable programs using tt1056006 document and diabled all startup programs in MIKE LIN PROGRAM-all did not help' note there is procedure info that does not jive. saw unexpected windows that did cause confusion. i was never sure the disabled programs in the sysconfig utility were actually disabled. the appearance of a window advising i was in diagnostic startup with two buttons to choose from. one choice brought up the misconfig utilty again. gave up on that procedure. lose patience with poor or incomplete documents. hypertherm procedure was also short on complete step detail [in email response from dell support] cnet bandwidth tests over last 24 hrs read 3.3 kbps to 33.3 kbps.
juno has 7 access numbers for my locality; can only use one''' i also receive "unstable connection" message when disconnected. and that happens every day. i have gone through juno's support process.use adware,mcaffe security center, have 3.0 gig processor 512 ram and 100 gig open in hd. dell replaced modem board last year.have friend using juno with same access numbers and 4yr old e machine. she connects in about 1/3 of my time and surfing is half of my time.
It sounds like you may have a telephone line problem. Could be something locally in the residence or an external telco problem. If you can dial one juno number, that says your equipment is working - the equipment won't differentiate between telephone numbers - it will just dial or attempt to dial (if you have it set up correctly).
If you listen to the telephone line with a voice telephone do you hear any noise? If you do then it could be a telephone line problem that you need to report to Verizon or whoever is your local telco. If you don't hear any noise, cross talk (some other voice telephone conversation), etc then you need to see if it's in-house wiring or possibly a telephone or answering machine in the residence that is causing the problem. Cordless phones can cause problems on the data line. Physically disconnect all telephones in the residence from the telco line and then see if that makes a difference. If not, then try connecting the modem to a different telco line in the residence and see if that makes a difference.
For what it's worth, I have one customer that uses Juno, here in the Tampa Florida area, and they have a lot of problems connecting, staying connected after they do get a connect and always connect at a relatively slow speed (usually 28.8Kb or lower). There is nothing wrong with their PC/modem or their phone line.

JUNO has always had connection problems. Their software stinks. You have to try a different modem initialization string in the advanced properties. Use google & search your modem brand, initialization string, & JUNO. Try whatever you find.
