The problem is that it >never picks up the line and always responds with NO DIALTONE. > David, there are 2 types of phone lead used in the UK: the first presents the BT line to the inner two pins of the modem's US style RJ11 jack, the other presents the BT line to the outer two. Needless to say, using the wrong cable will lead to "NO DIALTONE" errors. I suggest you print this email and show it to someone who knows and understands: they will be able to provide you with 2 cables, one which will work, and the other, which won't, but may come in handy in future. -- Mike Tomlinson Keep the internet tidy - kill a spammer today.
