Recently i re-installed my computer and got a new modem, it works fine however for when im loading EverQuest it gets as far as loading character profiles then my modem dies, sometimes it will get to character select but it always dies around there, was wondering if anyone else had the same problem or knew of any fix's for this..

Try your modem maker's website?

USB Modems are generally a pain. Is it for DSL/Cable? If it is, I recommend getting an Ethernet Modem if you can. USB Modems are generally a pain with drivers and setup, in general.

The most common problem with USB Modems is the modem just dying (completely resetting - turning off - etc) at certain times. This can screw with your USB port on your computer as well. I'd recommend getting an internal modem or external ethernet modem if your on Cable/DSL. If your on dial-up, go to your local CompUSA and pick up a PCI/ISA 56K Modem.
