Apologies if this has been previously discussed here - I only look in
when I've got a problem!  I'm trying here first because I thought I saw
a similar thread sometime ago when I had no problem.

My system is P75, 24Mb RAM, 1650 UART, Win 3.11, TP 3.01 with a Motorola
3400 (Pro?) 28.8 external modem.  The modem string is currently
AT&FMY0&D3&R0\\N7\\V4%/r.  This setup has remained unchanged for around
12 months.

Initially I would get the NO CARRIER message very occasionally, like
once in 50 diallings, now it is becoming more and more frequent to the
point where in the last few days it is a genuine 9 out 10 attempts.

It seems to make little difference which access number I try - 01488
which is local, or any of the 0845 numbers.

Is my problem a modem problem, string problem, Demon problem, or what?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Malcolm.
