I wouldn't be to shure that you have a dial tone at all connected to the
modem. There might be a crack in the wire or defect in the plug or even
simpler: It might be also a wrong wiring. You should check the whole chain,
at first the phone wall connector and then the output of the cable too, if
possible. Even if the modem is originated in another country it is quite
likely that the phone wiring schemes don't match. Finally you can disable
the wait for dialtone feature in the basic (Hayes) modem driver.
