ATDT5554441212 ^CCaught signal 2: Attempting to exit gracefully... --> Disconnecting at Fri Jun 25 04:27:04 2010 ------- I plugged in the phone line to a regular phone and i do get a dialtone. Also, the modem was working right before I took it out of a windows xp machine. So I don't think the problem is with either the phone line or the modem hardware. I think it's a software issue. Please help.
