Error 630: Modem not responding properly.

This is the message I got when my dialup hung up and I attempted to
re-connect. I checked all modem properties - everything ok.

I rebooted, and as you can see by my leaving this message the problem
did not reoccur.

My question: What is a "630"?

It's just the error code number that microsoft assigned to that particular
malfunction. The modem most likely just locked into an unrepsonsive state.
Happens occasionally, especially if you attempt to reconnect too soon after
disconnecting. As you discovered, a reboot usually puts things right again,
because it forces the modem to re-initialize. Unless it happens frequently,
don't give it much worry.
