If you have certain features on your phone line including voice mail they may alter the dial tone to indicate status. Only the original dial tone seems to satisfy the modem's dial tone detection. Having it "Ignore Dial Tone" will solve that problem. It will however also let the system attempt to dial while the line is in use. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
