HI,
I have an old computer, P2 400Mhz running windows XP.

I have a PCI Lucent Modem that can dial with no problem.
But, this modem can not answer the phone.

When I connect to hyperterminal and the dial the modem, I hear the phone ringing but the modem does not shows the RING word.

Could it be that the PC has a PCI 1.0 (5Volts) motherboard and the modem is a PCI 1.1 (3.5 Volts) ?

I don't know that else to try, I already upgraded the driver/firmware with no luck

Any tips are welcome!

Thanks
Oliver

More likely that the country isn't compatible with the ring used.
There's no country code for Paraguay, but I'd try different ones and see if you can get it to work.

Hi Richard,
many thanks for your comments.

I will try changing to Spain or something, should I restart the computer after changing the setting?

Also, do you recoment using also any AT%21 command?

Thanks
Oliver

Yes, I would recommend re-starting computer after changing the country setting, although I'm not sure whether it is absolutely necessary to do so.
I don't know which country is likely to work or not, so, would suggest trying until you find one that works.

Aloha! Richard.
