Update:
Brought the PC home last night, connected all the cables. After a bit of fiddling got the system to recognise the mouse. All systems ok - except now my modem doesn't work!

I've checked the power supply to the modem (it's an external 56k) & the phone line itself. Both check out ok.

Initially when I try to dial up to my ISP it disconnects straight away and get an error message 666 - something about the modem not plugged in or unavailable.

Riiiggghhhttt. Go to control panel and add a new connection. Now when I try dialling the ISP I can hear the "beep boop whiiiirrr" sound that all modems make. Then I get error message 645 - Micorsoft Dial-Up Adaptor not responding.

Any help? Pretty please? *grovels shamelessly*
