Well, on the G4 I started out with 10.1, and upgraded through 10.2, 
10.3, and on up to 10.4.11. Never had a problem, in fact I still use the 
modem when my broadband goes down, though that is very infrequent. The 
G5 came with 10.3.9 installed but had a drop-in copy of 10.4 Update (you 
know the one that checks for 10.3 installation before it will install). 
Again, I haven't had any problems with it. That is why I suspect you 
have a problem with your computer.
