Do not give up that fast!
The crux with modem cards is the phone cable!
I assume you used the same cable for your unsuccessful tests ;-(
If the phone cable is not connected in a correct way the modem card will
probably not dial.
So the first thing is to make sure that the phone cable is 100% ok.
Cheers
Johannes
