Everytime I go online with Aol it takes 2 tries to make it. I checked my Modem settings, it shows Com 4 and Com 5. I know its on Com 5, so I deleted Com 4 but it keeps coming back on reboot. How do I fix this? Thanks much Toby

All serial ports are listed in control panel--modems--diagnostics. Only one should have a modem associated with it (assuming you only have one modem). Is a modem associated with both com4 and com5?
I have trouble connecting with some of my local AOL numbers. Have you tried a different number?

Is this a USRobotics modem? If so this is a known issue with some of their modems - they have a fix on their website.
