Telephone Dialer?
Here's some Australian infomation (Note Austrians get upset when you =

Previous post was about AUSTRIA - this one is about = AUSTRALIA) a.. The modem must not answer an incoming call less than two seconds = after the first ring signal. As a =D2rule-of-thumb=D3 your modem should = be set so it answers incoming calls after the second ring (ATS0=3D2).=20 b.. If Busy signal detection is switched off, the modem must not = attempt more than two automatic redials and must wait at least two = seconds before redialling.=20 c.. If Busy signal detection is switched on, the modem must not = attempt more than nine automatic redials and must wait at least two = seconds before redialling.=20 d.. If, after redialling the maximum number of times, the modem is = still unable to establish a connection you must wait 30 minutes before = attempting to redial.=20 e.. The use of Bell standard 103 and 212A is not permitted in = Australia. Use of these modes will cause your modem to lose its permit = status.=20 Changing the default values of the modem, in such a way as to cause your = modem to operate in a non-compliant manner when connected to a = telecommunications network operated by a carrier, is contrary to the = Telecommunications Act 1991 and may result in penalties of $12,000. --=20 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.g2mil.com/Dec2003.htm "David Candy" wrote in message = ... 1.

Are you using Windows XP? I just looked in Network Connections at the dialing properties for dial-up to my ISP. I have the time between = redial attempts set to 1 second.

"David Candy" wrote in message ... It is actually illegal (for the modem not people) to repeatedly dial = a number. (telephone companies network won't survive millions of = modems doing it). The modem must have approval to connect to a phone line (mainly = to stop someone electrocuting their neighbours and workers at the exchange, = and destroying the exchange). Whoever (FTC or AusTel) will refuse = approval. Windows enforces it, the modem also will enforce it. The actual = rules depends on what country you live in (or more accurately what country windows/modem think you're in). MS Replied: Is there a jail for errant modems??? ;-) I don't see how that could be true? If I dial-up to my ISP (yes, I = have an ancient dial-up connection) and the line is busy, the modem will "repeatedly dial a number" (the ISP access number) until it connects. You can = set how many seconds between retries, etc. Why couldn't the same be done for a voice call? "Electrocuting their neighbors and workers at the exchange"? How? (I = guess those killer modems again.) (New science fiction flick--"the revenge = of the killer modems".) =20 |
