- Complain at your phone company! You should not get a dial tone after remote
- hangup - at least not so fast that your modem cannot notice the carrier loss!
- Anyway, I rather suspect that you don't get a dial tone, but an amplified,

- its own output. But this would be (at least partially) the fault of the telco,
- too!
-
- Until your local bell has fixed its problems, you might reduce S9 to a time
- that is shorter than the time between remote hangup and dial tone and set the
- inactivity timer S41=1.

- Might be a setup bug (are you positive that your software doesn't set S7 to 20
- sometimes?), a hardware defect inside your WB or, again, a fault at the phone
- company (timeout too short, line voltage dropouts etc.)!

- I haven't had any of these problems in about 1500 WB dialin connections, and at
- least No. 1 doesn't sound like a modem problem!
