All I know is, even win98 couldn't handle pccard 56k modem properly.  After a
suspend and
reopening the lid, the dialer would 'seem' to work and connect - but whatever
garbage was
actually going down the line caused attglobal.net to not recognize the connect
sequences.
I just learned on reawake - to pop the card out and then reinsert.

If that is your only problem, you are WAY ahead of the game.
