Sergei,
I had downloaded a 5-chapter set of modem information from the Practical
Peripherals forum on Compuserve a number of years ago. All toll, they are
about 145K and I can send them to you if you would like, either as one, 145K
file, or chapter by chapter if your ISP won't handle such a large file. I
can also upload them to the egroups/arachne site that Gregy mentioned, but
have not yet been to that site.
Got to go to work now!

Roger,
thank you I made it before my posting to the list. May be my description
was not so detailed I didn't remember the names of these ikons because I
haven't (and never hadn't, and never will have) W95, etc. on MY computer.

When I enter above settings again I see them saved, what kind of
indication may be yet?

I begin to suspect the reason may be somewhere here. I mean W98 has
Russia where I'm living in "Regional Settings" for "Control panel" and
"Dialing Properties" BUT the modem hasn't Russia in its internal list
of settings. I could see it during autodetect modem program was running.
Autodetection takes more than 10 secs and during these secs I can see the
full list of countries being supported by this modem. I didn't see Russia
but I see e.g. Czechoslovakia. Now this country is not existent but AFAIK
when it was pulse dialing is used there, Michael isn't it?
When autodetection process is finished a lot of countries vanishes from
this list and modem is set for UK region as I already wrote. I tried to
select the other countries from the rest of full list but they all use
tone dialing. AFAIK if a modem permits regional settings to do it you
should write a special code in one of the S-registers. The S-register
and country code are specific for each modem. I'll try to find the
manual for the modem, thanks to Clarence who gave me URL.

Sam,
I don't like Window$ but I like my friends. She asked my help and I
haven't the other choice besides to do what she asks. Do you have
another oppinion?

Hi Joerg,
I beleive this is not the case because I can see P command in the
modem's active profile.
Thanks to all,
