As long as you're certain the power *supply* is the correct one. Although
the wrong supply may power up the modem, it will likely result in the
problem you're getting (and so could using the wrong telephone cable). In
case you're wondering, nope there's no other clue to this.

Given that you've already spent a while attempting to repair the set-up
what's wrong with testing the modem/cable/power supply on another machine
and if it works fine there, performing a back-up, format and reinstall on
your win 98 machine?
