Hi 

I think I have had the same sort of problems a few times, and I dont an
exact solution, but there could be a couple of reasons for it, one are you
on an internal exchange? if you are exchanges have a differnet dial tone
sometimes and some modems wont pick the dial tone up although it is there.
Also whats the modem seen as in control pannel ? I had one case of a
motorola modem installing but giving this error, I installed a Standard
modem so there were 2 modems installed and in seemed to sort the problem
out, dont ask me why though, If get a solution to this the I would also
appreciate it if you let me know as it has confused me.
