- I have an Ibm Thinkpad 360 with an IBM PCMCIA modem. I have a problem getting a dial
- tone at my office. The modem connects fine at home but at the office all I
- get is a "No Dialtone" error message.
- I did notice that the modem connector has only two wires going into the
- connector, a red and a green. When I mate that to a connector at work I
- noticed that the red and green wires are reversed on the office phone. Thus at
- the office the red wire would connect to green and the green to the red. Could
- this be my problem?
- This problem only happens with this PCMCIA modem. I have used a Supra 14.4
- external for years on my office phones with no problem. Would appreciate any
- help.
