Jeff, Some of the latest PCMCIA modem cards have a utility to choose country easily from the desktop. I have used an ActionTec V90 FM560LKI successfully in various countries in Europe and Asia. Don't have to bother your head what it's doing or what init codes it's using! Colin
Everyone,
We have a customer who has a laptop and travels a lot to foreign countries. He dials (or at least attempts to) us via AT&T USA direct where he dials an access numebr in the foreign country and then once he gets the prompt tone he dials us. He has a 3Com Noteworthy PCMCIA modem card. He has yet to be able to get this work work anywhere other than the US and Canada. At this point it appears the PCMCIA card is looking for US dialtone and not foreign country dialtone. As soon as he clicks connect in DUN he sees it try for about a second and then it immediately disconnects. He says he never hears dialtone come up. Has anyone seen this before ? He says the dialtone is different from country to country. I am thinking we need to add X0 in the DUN extra settings option to disable dialtone detection within the modem itself. Thoughts ?
