click "Modem Region Select".
Do not use the Country/Region Select function in the Modem setup utility
in the Control Panel if the function is available. If you change the Country/
Region in the Control Panel, the change may not take effect.

3. Click the icon with the primary mouse button to display a list of regions
that the modem supports. A sub menu for telephony location information
