I am having trouble using a modem with my A1000. 

When the modem is plugged in and turned on, every disk is 'corrupt',
the drive light switches on and off in cycles of about 30sec
(when no disk access is occuring), and the drive makes horrible 
noises when disk is being accessed.

I am using a standard RS232 cable, with every line wired up.
Do I need a special cable?

P.S. What's the best PD modem program these days? Mine are ancient.

Please respond if you know what's wrong, (E-mail preferred
