I have a new 56k external usrobotics that will deltect tone on one locatation but not in another. Locations are only 3 miles apart in a rural area. The wierd thing is that a different modem (LT winmodem) will detect tone in the location that the “better” usrobotics modem will not. It worked at one time and the phone company has been out and test the line. What gives? When I try to initiate a call with DUN, the sound that comes out of the modem is like someone trying to tune in an AM station on a old radio. Very strange. I have been working with modems for a long time and never have I heard such strange noises. Any help would be appreciated.
