"Has anybody any (non obvious) suggestions as to what the cause might
"be of a NO DIALTONE message when:
"
"1. The modem is clearly communicating with the PC
"2. The modem has been working reliably on the line
"3. The modem and line cable has recently been swapped out.
"4. Supplier initially found no problem with returned modem
"5. New modem is not the returned modem
"6. Modem is 56K External Sonic Pro
"7. Machine is a P233MMX
"8. Hardware soak test with PRIME indicates no hardware problems
and many people replied. But no one suggested that the (new) modem
might be set up to recognize a dial-tone other than the UK one. Dial
tones vary greatly across the world.
In any case, blind dial (preferably after a comma-wait) is a good
answer.
