it is a touch tone dial -> i was able to connect through an external modem on a desktop computer on the same line that i was not able to connect with. so its something with the pcmcia. i think its a 'force of power issue', meaning, the thinkpad was not able to kick out a signal with enough force to get the line to recognize that a number was being dialed. if that makes any sense .... doug On Sat, 16 Mar 1996, Richard Fritzson wrote: > Doug Fairclough wrote: > > > > had a funny problem where i was trying to demo some product > > > anyway, i got a dial tone, and i heard the numbers being dialed > > (touch tone), but the dial tone did not go away, but sat there. > > > > anyone ever have this happen on any kind of modem ? > > Yes.
