A long list of reasons and solutions exist. Hardly know where to begin. But this we do know. That UPS recommendation is bogus, does not address any reasons for your damage (old or new modem), and is recommended only because it is some kind of magic box.What can I do to see if the modem is shot? Is there some way to fix this sort of issue? How could a power blink have killed a modem when there was no storm or other noticed interference of that sort?

Another solution. Simply connect a phone to the same phone wire. Monitor on that phone what the modem does.

Hyperterminal might be loaded from Control Panel. Goto Control Panel. Add Programs. Click on Add Windows Components. Or download it (or some other Terminal Emulator program). Program is simply one window working just like any 1972 CRT terminal – that DOS (pre-Windows) simple.I'm afraid I can't find anything called hyperterminal (or any alternate spacing/spelling/hypenated versions thereof). There isn't even a "communications" section in my Start > All Programs > Accessories. I Googled it and found out that apparently some (or all?) versions of Vista are missing the tool.

What usually happens when earthing is defective? The 'off-hook' electronics in a modem is destroyed. Either the modem never hangs up - resulting in no dialtone. Or the modem never picks up (connects to phone line) - also resulting in no dialtone. Either failure is most often traceable to defective earthing where AC wires enter the building or to using a plug-in protector adjacent to the computer.

Actually, on the check list of things that must be done (and none were) was to report the system (event) logs. Find what failures really exist before fixing anything. Before making a simple problem more complicated with changes.Ok... this is the first time you've mentioned that your hdd is making clicking noises.
