no dial tone
modems are designed to fail early in the event of EMP's to save the
equipment behind them - replace the modem -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Bruce" wrote in message ...

you're stuffed, unless there's a fuse inline, or you can install a new modem

no dial tone
I've lost a few modems to electrical storms as I live in rural area. They
usually exhibit same symptoms. No choice but replace. "Bruce" wrote in message ... Helping a friend, when it is dialing we hear no dial tone and say the phone line is in use of disconnected.

If the modem is removable you can sometimes check the fuse that protects the
leads from the modem to the circuits for resistance ( open circuit means it is blown ) Sometimes you can find a local electronics shop that can do repairs on SMT Surface Mount Technology electronics to replace the fuse.
