One of the guys at work connects in using a 56k modem built into his laptop and after it was rebuilt as it was dog slow, it no longer works. I've brought my laptop home to see if I can connect and I'm getting exactly the same problem so it must be some stupid thing I've fogotten.
Its a basic internal modem connected on COM3. When it goes to connect it just says dialing and then eventually returns that it couldn't find a dial tone. I've tried to force it to ignore waiting for a dial tone but it doesn't work. I don't even get the little 'tick' noise that I remember from back in my modem using days to signify its opening the line. Any ideas?
