Have you tried disabling dialtone detection? I've found that in some areas the telstra dialtones must be a bit off - I had a USR modem that worked perfectly, moved across town to another exchange and it wouldn't detect dialtone. Disable dialtone detection and it was back working sweet again. I frequently have to "fix" computers that can't get dialtone - problem seems to affect all makes and models of modems randomly - eg in some areas of town a Netcomm can't detect, but a Swann will. Other areas a Swann won't detect dialtone but a Netcomm will. I haven't encountered one brand that is 100% reliable at detecting dialtones. |

Win XP/2000: Go to control panel, phone and modem properties, choose the modem tab, highlight your modem (if not already) and choose properties. On the modem tab, toward the bottom you will see "Wait for dial tone before dialling". Untick it and ok to all windows. Win 95/95/ME The setting has to be made in two places: 1st you have to set it in modem properties in control panel 2nd, you have to go into dial up networking, right click on your isp and choose properties, and then choose configure where the modem is listed. Sorry, I can't remember the exact sequence of dialogs anymore, and I don't have a W9x machine handy to check. Despite this being an extremely common problem, the goofballs at Telstra support can't seem to grasp it. It is phenomenal the number of times I've had a support call that goes something like - "my modem won't work, Telstra said it's faulty" - look at the computer and find all sorts of things like commas in front of the number, wierd initialisation strings etc that telstra have got them to do. Remove all that rubbish, disable dialtone detection and presto it works like a lil' beauty. Also, if you have the stuttered dialtone that indicates you have a message in messagebank, almost all modems will fail to detect the tone. |
