I travel a lot around the world with my MegaHerzt PCMCIA (had several of them and also the old 3Com PCMCIA LAN+Modem) and I never had that type of problems except in Germany, France and England, which uses different plugs for phones. But once you configure the modem for the correct country, that also goes away. In the other countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia I just plug my modem to the telephone outlet in my hotel room and dial using AT&T to the US and then to my ISP. Usually when I don't get dial tone is because I'm using the wrong outlet. Dial tones in hotels are usually the same that you get in the US. That might be different if he is dialing without going through a PBX. In that case, uncheck Wait for dialtone in DUN and see if it goes. But most countries use the same dial tone as the US. Sorry I can't be of further assistance. Sonny

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 ?
