Over here, we have unusual dial tones.  I have always found using X3 
overcomes this, and you seem to have found the Modem dials OK when using 
X3.
Moral:  If X3 works (ignore dialtone), then why not use it??

Help:  HTTP://Hayes.com has a number of useful bits of info.  As most 
Modems use Hayes command sets, they should be relevant to your 
unspecified modem...

Enjoy!   Dave  :-)
