WH>>> Have a friend who purchased a ZOLTRIX internal modem in 

WH>>> Hong Kong! Yup! You guessed it - it doesn't quite work 

WH>>> right.



WH>>> Can't seem to get it to dial out - error message "No dial 

WH>>> tone" I can dial into it - no worries



WH>>> Any guru wanting to help - feel free



PC>> An easy one, just set the X setting to 3 by typing ATX3 

PC>>  and it

PC>> will work, all this is doing is telling the modem to ignore 

PC>> dial tone detection, some cheap OS modems have trouble 

PC>> detecting our dial tone.



 DD> It seems that some _expensive_ OS modems have trouble too.
