    Seems perfectly normal to me.
    Is it not connecting or something?

    Why bother? That's just the way the modem works on Windows 2000. If it ain't broke...

    It is what it's.

    Do NOT delete that stuff that is the PPPoE client software making all those network connections, you need them to talk with the modem - that stuff is not bad it's good!!!!.

    Did you install the filters that cane with the modem?

    You shouls have received some filers to attach between the modem and the phone socket (assuning you're using the IOL BB package...)

    If they're only 3 yrs old, they shouldn't - but sometimes they can drain too much current from the phoneline. How many phones have you got connected the line?

    It is what it's.
