Re: V34 Internal Modem Reports "NO Dial Tone"...

Well, since the thread was here I thought that I would use it.

I have an external v.32 supra fax modem that suddenly no longer sinks
enough current from the tel-co line to make the tel-co see that I am
off-hook. I have tried to E-mail the fellows at Supra, but all they can
do is tell me to set the wait for dialtone off. 

They can not understand that this is not the porblem.

Example:
To modem: atm1 (so we can hear it all)
To modem: ath1 (take the phone off-hook) [don't flame me if I have this
slightly wrong... ath? ath1? anywho..)
Result: No dialtone from modem speaker
Put telephone off-hook
Result: Dialtone in both modem and phone
I can actually connect to online services in this manner.
Right now I jumper the phone line with a low enough value resister so as
to pull enough current so the tele-co will give me a dial tone. I want to
fix this. I am sure this is a hardware problem since it worked fine until
I had an all-night internet session and the next day the modem wouldn't
draw enough current from the phone line to get a dial tone.
