If you are using contact-management software, you
may need to push a key on the computer keyboard
to disconnect the modem or fax/modem after the

7.8 “No Dial Tone” Error Message
If you receive a “No Dial Tone” error message,
include the Hayes
®
command
ATX1
or
ATX3
in your
modem Dial command. These commands tell your
modem or fax/modem to dial without first listening
for a dial tone.
Some telephone systems (such as Rolm
®
) do not
use the standard dial tone, and your modem or
fax/modem may not recognize the nonstandard
tone as a dial tone.
This command is also useful when the system being
used will not accept autodialing (refer to
Chapter 5
).
Table 4-1 lists some telephones that do and do not
support autodialing.
