CD RW problems

Hi, I'm having problems with my HP CDWriter 9100i and am not sure if it's the drive/Debian/cdrecord/SCSI emulation or a problem with my media so any help would be appreciated. After I burn the isofs to the CD-ROM or CD-RW the volume is sometimes mount-able sometimes not. Even if it is mount-able

Ok Mr Newbie here again. I have been trying to get Debian to connect to my local ISP threw an external modem. When I issue the PON command it dials the connection fine, the modems connect, but then the line drops. The PLOG stated that I was dropped by the peer. I know I have to make a config change
