Some places (most often Europe) or on some in-house phone systems, the
modem will not recognise dial tone. In this case use X1 or X3 in the dial
prefix (ATX1DT) or the init string. X1 will see neither dial tone nor BUSY.
X3 will see the BUSY only.
There is also X2 if you have trouble with false BUSY, but can
recognise dialtone (can happen w/voice answer fax machines).
Sometimes putting a 'W' at the end of the dial string helps (after the
phone number, as that waits for 5 seconds of silence after the other end
picks up the phone. (will wait for silence after a voice answer).
The modem uses only 2 wires on the phone line, the center 2 wires. A
phone which uses other wires can still get it's signals through the other
wires, even though the modem cannot see them.
If you have trouble dialing PULSE there is a command to change the
pulse make/break ratio needed in some areas (usually overseas). &P (see
your manual).
