NO DIALTONE / or w/X0/X1/X3 NO CARRIER
Generally if the software says NO DIALTONE but you hear a
dialtone through the speaker, the modem needs fixing. If you do
not hear a dialtone, plug a phone into the 'phone' jack of the
modem to see if the dialtone is getting to the modem. If you hear
dialtone on the phone, AND it is a 1-LINE phone line, the modem
needs fixing. If you have a phone with buttons for more than one
line, then you have the wrong line for the modem. It MUST be a
single-phone phone line. The 2 'live' wires must be on the inside
two wires in the phone plug.
Often in parts of Europe you need to use X0, X1 or X3
because the modem does not recognise the Dialtone (so says NO
DIALTONE). This goes in the dial prefix ie; ATX3DT This allows
the modem to dial without 'hearing' dialtone. It also will dial
if there IS NO DIALTONE, because of a wrong adapter or bad
connector. Then you will get NO CARRIER after a pause. Check your
adapters and connections.
