Hello everybody,
I'm one of the lurkers here..
Being on the modems subject, does anybody know what is the AT command to stop the modem checking for dial tone?
I found it once, but lost it, and I haven't been able to google it again.
I have a Hayes Accura 33.6K internal isa modem. That I believe uses the standard AT commands..
Thanks,

Possibly your line isolataor is blown. this might be caused by a lightning strike on the phone line, or ...
If this is the case, everything will appear to work from the computer side, and nothing will work from the phone side.

I have an old US Robotics 28k ISA modem in one of my machines here and I want to use it to connect via dial-up to try something.
It certainly used to work but now it won't. I can query the modem from a terminal window and kppp will do the same but I cannot get it to dial. It goes through the motions but no dialling tone sound or any dialling sound although it is set to have the speaker on until it connects. After trying it 'disconnects' and tries again. If I disconnect the telephone lead from the telephone socket it makes no difference. It still runs through the same process without, apparently, recognising that there is no dialling tone.
I have checked the telephone lead on another machine and it appears to be in perfect working order.
I'm out of ideas. Anyone?
