I assume you are on 56k modem :p

Im not 100% sure but i think what that means is that the port(s) your modem uses to connect to the internet is already "open" or already in use.

I will do a bit of reading for you to see what that could be and report back with a more certain answear.

What operating system are you on?

And what type of modem? IE PCI, External Serial, External USB etc

Ok for a first try:

Ctrl, Alt Delete

Then look for "Rnaapp" and end task on that.

Try connecting

Is it possible for you to reinstall the modem?

If so just make sure you completely uninstall the old drivers/hardware device listing first.
