Very Computer

I have been using Linux (Mandrake 8.0)  and Motorola SM56 Winmodem.  I
have installed suitable driver provided by Motorola.  But when I try
to connect my ISP I get "No Dialtone" Error.

Is there anything which windows provides like: "Wait for dialtone
before dialing" ?

Please Note:  I have an epabx installed for my telephone network and I
have to dial 0 first to access outside line.

1. You claim that you have a epabx installed and have to dial 0 to
access and outside line, right? Well, if the modem is connected to a
digital line such as a PBX, the modem will most likely not work and
may become damaged. Only use an analog modem with an analog telephone
line.

2. If your telephone line/network is not digital, then the modem could
be possibly damaged from a lightning strike. Lightning strikes are
known to cause the problem you're having.

Hope this helps.

1.  My telephone line/network is analog only.

2.  I have been able to dial using the same h/w configuration through Windows98.
