Tried, didn't work. It did force the modem to try (well, anyway, at
least it took a few more seconds), but didn't connect.
I also tried an old ISA modem, that did manage to dial and give a
'CONNECT 2400' reply (but then hung - nevermind).
Does this mean I absolutely have a bad modem? Or maybe it's bezeq's
fault (and will they try to solve it if I complain)?
Might be related: When using the analog modem alone (no microfilter),
sometimes it failed to connect during the speed negociation. It never
refused to dial though. This is mentioned as a common problem with
PCTel modems, but it might simply be a common *manufacturing* problem,
that makes the modem very sensitive to small changes in the freqs, as
opposed to *driver* problem (even though I have no idea if this is a
common problem on windows too). On the other hand, after successful
connections, I constantly got very good behaviour (both stability
and speed).
Thanks anyway, I am close to giving up on this (unless someone has
a briliant idea).
