Can't Connect To AOL

I got this computer that cannot connect to AOL. It goes to dial, it does everything fine, up until it connects. Then, it just lets out a high pitched squeal that never ends until you hit cancel. The modem was just put in and everything was working fine. Any ideas as to what went wrong?

Defective modem or wrong driver.

Enough of the AOL slamming, folks. If you have nothing constructive to contribute, don't post.
