Hi!

First: Thanks you replied!

>(I think the correct country was USA for Switzerland, and Japan when

Yeah, I thought this too. And of course I tried it. There are
some setting heavily needed for the modem to work. Things like
DTMF gaps, pulse dialing speeds and so on...
The problem is that the modem thinks it would dial - but doesn't!

Another problem seems to be the DAA connected to the MWave adapter.
As German Telekom (fu**ing company, BTW) has VERY strict rules that
the adapter has to fulfill (timings, no ATH1, no ATA, blacklistings,
redial restrictions...) it is very likely (that's what I am thinking)
that the DAA has to deny access to itself if configured to
anything else than Germany.

That could be the problem. The symptom occurs...

>Also, make sure your cable is correctly wired.
Done it several times and it really should work. I hooked
it to an internal switching system (?? this box you hook
between telecom and your phone...) so I could test what's
happening and it simply doesn't recognize that it doesn't dial.
Strange...

I'm using MWave soft version 2.02. AFAIK this is the newest
version!?

So, does anyone possibly know why I didn't get Germany as
country in one installation and on another disk this
worked fine?
What exact diskettes does the Country Selection come from??

Thanks again!

Ciao, Philipp!
