Making Calls from a Hotel or Business PBX
Normally, your LAN+Modem card waits for a dial tone
before dialing. In some cases, however, a modem cannot
detect a dial tone even when voice calls can be completed.
This problem can occur when:
■
Dialing into a standard telephone network using
nonstandard dial tone conventions
■
Placing a call from a country outside of the United
States, where a different dial tone is used
■
Dialing through a business or hotel PBX or a voice-mail
system that indicates new mail with a unique dial tone
(travelers often find that hotel PBXs have unique dial
tones)
■
Using telephones (such as cellular telephones) that
require you to press a button before the dial tone can
be heard
Try the following suggestions for restoring the standard dial
tone:
■
Clear your voice mail.
■
Press the dial or line button on your telephone.
■
Access an outside line before dialing.
■
Reconfigure the dialing options for your
communications package. Most packages have a
Wait
for Dial Tone Before Dialing
option that you can enable
or disable if your modem is having trouble detecting a
dial tone. You must disable this option to permit blind
dialing.
