    Do you have BT call re-direction or other BT Star services on your
    phoneline which cause the dial tone to change?

Normally I'd assume this was a dud connection somewhere ... but I've been
getting "No dial tone" from my Courier V34 a few times lately as well. Up to
a few days ago, I'd never seen the message except when I'd forgotten to plug
it in. Plugging in an ordinary phone, I hear a dial tone as expected. Have
BT been fiddling with the tones lately?

Problem solved.

I had thought of the possibilities mentioned in the suggestions in this thread
and was of course absolutley wrong. It turned out to be a loose jumper on one
of the I/O or IRQ configuration pins. I think it was shorting.

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  :-)
