Hi Rhys,

Try initialising the modem with AT&FX3

That's the string to ignore dialtone.  So, in theory if it can't hear
the dial tone with that string it will dial anyway and if it's capable
of negotiating with the server at the other end, may connect.  If not no
harm done :)

Kind regards,

Julian

I lifted the reciever of the shared line and heard a faint click as it tried to connect but as it kept complaining: "No dial tone", either the dial tone it's listening for needs to be changed or I need to swop the phoneline cable from the Line socket to the Phone socket on the modem.
