Probably not an MWAVE problem, as I have encountered it with other modems ... Seems some European phone switches do not generate dial tones of quite the precision that we're accustomed to in North America, such that the modem circuitry doesn't recognize the tone. Workaround: Sorry, it's a while since I've done this, and I don't have a Hayes command summary handy, but there's a small modification to the dialing prefix that bypasses the dial tone check -- should be easy to find in your MWAVE manual.
