Travel Connection Checklist

If you experience connection problems while using the modem
outside your home country, the following suggestions may help.
Check the telephone line type—the modem requires an
analog, not a digital, telephone line. A telephone line
described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or
standard telephone line, is probably an analog line.
Check for pulse or tone dialing—Dial a few digits on the
telephone and listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Then set your
communication software to the corresponding dialing mode
(pulse or tone).
Check the telephone number you are dialing and the
response of the remote modem—Dial the telephone number
on the telephone, wait for the remote modem to answer, then
hang up.
Set the modem to ignore dial tones—If the modem receives
a dial tone it does not recognize, it will not dial and will
display a No Dial Tone error message. To set the modem to
ignore all dial tones before dialing:
In Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0—
1. Select Start!Settings!Control Panel!Modems.
2. Select your modem, then select Properties!Connection
tab, then clear the Wait for Dial Tone Before Dialing
checkbox.
If you continue to receive the No Dial Tone error
NOTE:
message after clearing the checkbox, select Start!Settings!

the I Am In drop-down box, then again clear the Wait for Dial
Tone Before Dialing check box.
