(This was after dozens of queries made to as many sources). Now it seems that perhaps the problem was not solved. Are we talking about the same modem? And what on earth is a DAA? All I know is that it stands for Data Access Arrangement -- an odd name when you think about it. I know that some of IBM's PCMCIA fax modems have a built in DAA and others external DAA, presumably software of some sort. I've even been told by some presumably knowledgeable person that it was just the adapter gizmo with the French telephone plug configuration on one end, RJ-11 on the other. At one time the TP Support rep told me to get in touch with TeleAdapt. What TeleAdapt will sell you for $50 is the above mentioned adapter (25F in Paris, perhaps less in the US), instructions for manual dialing, some kind of tester (not the ModemSaver which guards against digital lines).
